In the empty boxing gym, Eddie, the administrator, was about to turn off the lights, but there was still a sound in the gym. He leaned over and saw that boxer Maggie was still training hard.
Maggie is not a real boxer, because Coach Frankie has not agreed to accept her as an apprentice, but Maggie insists, hoping that one day she will be able to learn Frankie as a teacher, but she did not expect this day to come soon.
After watching "Million Dollar Baby", I have to say that this is a good movie, whether it is lighting, plot, lines, or background music... These details are full marks, and being able to win the Academy Award already shows that this movie is very It worked.
The story is very simple. One is Frankie, the father who kept writing letters to his daughter but could not get a reply. He devoted all his time to his beloved boxing career and cultivated one champion boxer after another; the other was Maggie, a restaurant waiter, although She is already quite old, but she insists on practicing boxing. In her opinion, this is the only way to make life different from what it is now.
The two embark on a journey of mutual salvation.
We don't know why Frankie's daughter didn't reply or receive his letters, but Frankie was very persistent in going to church every day to pray to the priest and writing letters to her daughter every week, even though she knew it was the result, But never gave up.
The relationship between father and daughter is so unfamiliar that Frankie's life is nothing but boxing, and everything else has left him. There is nowhere to put such emotions. He looks indifferent, but his heart is so eager to make this full. Full of fatherly love to others.
Maggie, deeply troubled by her family of origin, her mother lived on government relief money, and her younger brother was inexperienced. She wanted to earn money to improve the family's life. After winning the bonus, the coach suggested that she improve her living conditions, who knew her However, she used the money to buy a house for her mother and brother. The girl gave everything she owned to a home she still loved despite being scarred. However, when paralyzed in bed, her mother and brother not only had fun, but also How cruel it must be for Maggie to let her sign the power of attorney with a pen in her mouth and leave all her property to them.
Her family was so cruel that when she saw Maggie's newly bought house, her mother said that it was better to give money to buy a house; so cruel that her sister said that the new house had no kitchen utensils; so cruel that she lay in bed without the care and care of her family, and could only treat her property The concern... The ending arranged by the director is heartbreaking.
Maggie is lucky, she moved the coach Frankie with her passion for boxing. During the process of getting along with the coach, she cared about whether the coach has a family, took the coach to eat her father's favorite dessert, and life is no longer allowed. When she was nostalgic, she begged the coach to end her life, and she poured the same love as her father on Frankie.
When Maggie wanted to end her life, Eddie said to Frankie, "Because of you, Maggie had a chance. If she were to die today, do you know what her last thought would be? I think I did a good job. ."
Yes, Maggie got her wish, she's done it.
The most hated thing is that "Blue Bear", she strikes hard and does not consider the consequences at all; she fouls in front of the coach, but she is not punished; she is afraid of losing the championship title she already has, and is afraid of falling down. The altar... So unscrupulously, recklessly and recklessly used inferior methods to win the victory.
Yes, at any time, "protecting yourself" is the most important thing . If she doesn't take it lightly and doesn't look back when she fights against "Blue Bear", maybe she will win, but unfortunately, time cannot be reversed.
It can be said that the first half of the film immerses you in the brutal competition of the boxing match, and the second half makes you cry distressedly, for what happened to Maggie, for Frankie's unremitting care, and for Frankie's recitation. Yeats' poems, the final decision of Maggie's life, the "dangerous boy" who did not give up hope and returned to the boxing gym...
