From "Boys Don't Cry" to "Million Dollar Baby" (2005.09)

Hilary Swank's first Oscar-winning work.

It is said that Clint Eastwood watched the film and decided to cast Hilary Swank as the heroine of "Million Dollar Baby". Swank's second golden statue proves how wise the old cowboy's decision-making is!

In fact, the reason why the old cowboy chose Swank is very simple: Swank's performances in "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby" can be said to be in the same strain.

Swank has a very masculine face, which is especially evident in Boys Don't Cry. If you don't know the plot of "Boys Don't Cry" and watch a random episode of "Boys Don't Cry", you are likely to think that Swank is a man. Swank is a smart person, and she has effectively captured this "selling point" of her own. In Boys Don't Cry, Swank is sexually inclined towards men, while in "Million Dollar Baby", Swank is character and will inclined towards men. In Hong Kong parlance, Swank is a "man woman". But it is this "man woman", perhaps the most awesome "man woman" in the world today.

  • Brandon: Lana, you are one cranky girl.

    Lana: Yeah, well, you'd be cranky, too, Mister I'm Going To Memphis Graceland Tennessee, if you were stuck in a town where there's nothing to do but go bumper skiing and chase bats every night of your evil fucking life.

  • Lana: God, I hate my life.

    Lana's Mom: [drunk on the sofa] Lana?

    Brandon: I hate your life, too.
