Well deserved

Eastwood and Freeman were there, and they felt different. As the protagonist and director, Eastwood has a complete feeling: the audience is him. The audience is looking at the problem from his perspective. Completely engaged. When I discovered this, I saw Frankie's exquisite performance after learning about Maggie's injury... It feels like the time has become so long... As if Maggie is his family, as if he is Becoming Frankie, my heart aches...Obviously, after seeing Frankie discovering that Maggie had a bed sore, his face twitched, but he didn’t say anything. Acting skills completely convey that feeling to the audience. As an audience member, I can fully appreciate Frankie's pain-more uncomfortable than my own paralysis, more uncomfortable than my own amputation, completely integrated into it, which makes me feel very heavy now...
Compared with this, look. In "Finding Neverland", Kate Winslet's performance really made people feel uncomfortable...I always felt contrived, and there was a nomination for Best Actress...Joke... .
Morgan Freeman in the film merely supporting role, a clue to the character. Although there is not too much drama, but the performance is also extremely good. He is like a guide, a wise existence. Natural, wise, and decisive, it is really his style, and it is really worthy of praise!
As for the performance of the heroine Hilary Swank, I also can't fault... Always a fearless, full of enthusiasm and courage, a girl who works hard for her own goals. I don't know if it can be said to be innocent, but her performance is really perfect-she is not a professional, so there is always a little bit of discomfort and shyness; but she is firm and has no hesitation. She has a little perfectionist color, and she is not firm enough to endure the pain, so she is also ordinary. Swank's interpretation is just right, and I heard that she has been boxing training for two months for this film, which is worthy of admiration.
The actors are almost perfect...

In the discussion of the plot, Eastwood presented a problem. At the end of his film, he put on the table whether people have the right to choose death. Maggie's life is to live for that shining moment. Does this really make sense... These issues will not be discussed for the time being. But the existence of Ira's seems to be the home of life...quietly reading a book, eating delicious Lemon Pie, relaxing for myself...thinking about those hard work, those Struggle, those successes, are very important, but very light...The
music is first-rate, and the guitar-based accompaniment is very appropriate to set off the atmosphere, like a fateful sadness... I have seen the best of these Oscar nominations.
