Screp's left eye was his dream that seemed to be within reach but was forced to leave the game in the end. And the evidence left. He kindly taught the basic routines of Maggie boxing secretly, and gave the Tangier tolerance and understanding who might not be able to compete in the boxing ring for a lifetime without a ranking, but wished to win the lightweight title. Although he has only one eye, he is the one who sees everything the most. He never tells others what is right, what is wrong, when to give up, and when to work hard, but he can realize the feeling that he has been so close to his dreams than anyone. Screp has his knack, this knack is to gamble everything for dreams that no one else can understand.
"I got what I wanted, I got everything!"
Maggie stubbornly insisted on her dream of being older, begging Frankie to be her coach again and again. She was so stubborn even when she was paralyzed and asked Frankie to let her go. Maggie is brave, right? The tired and boring training didn't make her cry. She didn't cry when she was interrupted on the boxing ring and the bridge of her nose was bloody. The fact that she was lying on a hospital bed and could only rely on oxygen and the help of others to survive the rest of her life still didn't make her cry. In fact, what is worth crying? She has been to the highest point and should be satisfied. Maggie's final death is a relief like a burden, it is the curtain call for her to complete her dream, and it is the home for the realization of self-worth. As Screp said: If she died today, do you know what her last thought was? "I think I did a good job!" Maggie's life is incomplete. She has lost everything she had originally possessed, the activities that ordinary people should have, the ones she loves but never loved her relatives, and that The leg that was forced to be amputated. But Maggie's life is complete, because she has done what she thinks is the best, she has realized her dream, and she has been to heaven.
"I have only met someone I don't want to fight with"
Frankie finally went to the place he had been longing for. But there is no one around him who can accompany him. In fact, no one was by his side, and Maggie was just a short-lived phantom that appeared and left during training. It's just that this short period of time has allowed him to gain too much and lose too much. Of course Frankie also had a dream, but every time he was only a little short of his dream, the God of Destiny pushed him back. So in the end, he finally realized his only dream—a person eating lemon pie that was not canned in that small restaurant. . . This old man, who speaks harshly but is sometimes as loving as a father, uses his lonely back to draw the end of the film.
Watched twice in a row and listed "Million Dollar Baby" as a "space movie". Eastwood never needs to use a deliberately created sensational weight to project tear gas at us. Every time this old man tells a story, you will not let you guess the ending but can slowly enter the deepest part of the heart and slowly flow through it. Let you find inexplicable feelings and resonance. Fortunately, it's not an inspirational movie, it's not a happy ending, and it doesn't fall into the stereotypes that many movies should have. I think, because it is Eastwood, all of this will not be possible. I don't understand the history of American culture, so I ignore the discussion of "euthanasia" and "freedom and human rights" at the end of the film. In terms of dreams and dignity alone, this film is truly excellent.
