After watching Clint Eastwood's "Sully" it was finally "Million Dollar Baby". This "Baby" is really good, explaining the cause and effect of becoming a baby and the sadness and joy. Scrap, as the third eye, keeps telling the story, Frankie is the main character of the whole movie, and he has indeed done the heavy duty of taking on all difficulties. All one's life is devoted to boxing, without expecting anything in return. You can see a person's noble attitude towards a matter, and he does not despise and work hard.
Frankie doesn't depend on anyone to become famous, he just wants to do what he is passionate about and help some people achieve their dreams, but on this road it will be smooth without hard work, and he has encountered obstacles again and again. He was a medic in the boxing ring at the beginning, and Scrap was also a famous thug at the time. Frankie and Scrap had a certain tacit understanding. The two were like brothers on the battlefield, and Frankie kept taking care of Scrap. In the 109th game of Scrap, only Scrap and Frankie were left on the battlefield because the manager was drunk and absent. Scrap was severely injured in the eye by the opponent, but Frankie, the medic, had no right to stop and call the game to stop. And just like that, Frankie watched Scrap go blind. This incident left a deep shadow on Frankie, and since then he has taken boxing more seriously. His guilt for Scrap can never be made up. Men don't sympathize with women like women. They can't express their sympathy for each other with words. They can only make up for it with actions silently. Frankie and his friends ran a boxing gym, and in the end, only Frankie was left alone, and Scrap also worked and lived in it. This was Frankie's compensation to Scrap.
Frankie's passion for boxing has never stopped. Willie, who he trained for eight years, decided to find another Bole because he thought he could not participate in the championship with him. Frankie is so obsessed that he's afraid that fighters will be seriously injured again, so he asks them to play a few more fights before putting them in a championship fight. But this kindness was not seen by a young man, Willie only felt that Frankie would drag down his career, so he chose to leave him.
Frankie was sad, of course, but he didn't make a fuss, he just saw his helplessness and loneliness. How can a career that has persisted for many years continue to develop without his own "baby" at this age? Just at this time, the unremarkable and underappreciated stubborn girl - Maggie appeared. From the beginning, she regarded herself as garbage, and dared not imagine that she would have the opportunity to make a lot of money. She had no goals in life, but the only thing she insisted on was boxing that she loved. She lives without dignity, and usually only dares to steal the leftover food from the customers in the fast food restaurant where she works and take it home for dinner, and the money she saves will pave the way for her dream. She noticed the extraordinary qualities of Frankie's dream teacher very early, so she was not discouraged by ignoring Frankie, but tried her best to get close to him, hoping that one day he could accept her as his apprentice. Frankie didn't think about it at all, but seeing Scrap's silent help to her and Maggie's own enthusiasm for boxing, his firm stance against accepting female apprentices slowly collapsed.
Maggie is the most powerful proof of Frankie's strength. Maggie started learning almost from scratch, but Frankie was amazed by the amazing speed of her progress. She broke Frankie's original stubbornness step by step. "Protect Yourself At All Times" is Frankie's advice to fighters, and he keeps repeating it in order to want fighters to learn from their past experiences. But people are so ridiculous, they don't cherish the things that are easy to get, or things that are seen and heard more often. People never know the kind of pain until they hit a nail. We often hear "the road is like a tiger's mouth", but how many people really pay attention to these problems? It's too late to regret until you've lost something.
Frankie's feelings for Maggie are constantly changing in each training session. Frankie's enthusiasm for his career has made him lose the most precious thing - his family. So Frankie treats Maggie as his baby girl, and he doesn't want her to be hurt. It is impossible to have multiple treasures in life. If you want apples or pears, choose one. Too many good things may not be able to handle well. In the end, Frankie chose a career, but secretly his dedication to the family never stopped, but his way of expressing himself was not so cheerful. He was actually very strong in his heart, and he endured repeated blows. Until Maggie's fall, Frankie also fell down.
He had doubted his decision several times, but he still accepted this final challenge in his later years. He trained Maggie to be the strongest fighters. They are the representatives of the righteous side. Fairy tales often only appear in fantasy, and the director keeps the audience obsessed with Maggie's constant victories. We may suspect that this is a beautiful illusion. Gradually, like Maggie, he lost his sense of danger, and the sudden blow made the audience feel uncomfortable. The protagonist can't breathe. Maggie lost the championship game to the dirty tricks of the sinister pie, and she's down!
Maggie, who has lost her mobility, can only lie on the bed, hoping that she will be able to stand up again one day. But as time passed, everyone knew that it was impossible, and Frankie was constantly struggling with his inner guilt for the future of his girl. He was afraid to accept that he had given up a girl's future because of his sense of achievement in his career. He tried to comfort her, and he was comforting himself. Once again, men are not good at expressing their emotions and only prove everything with actions. Maggie's foot was amputated, and she finally woke up from her sweet dream. She knew she'd always have to be a jerk, and it hurt to watch Frankie try to plan for her future. In the end, she asked Frankie to end her life. She didn't want to continue to "survive" for a meaningless life. What she wanted was life. However, Frankie refused to be overwhelmed by the request, and the normal response was to reject her. Maggie used her last ability—biting her tongue to commit suicide, hoping to help herself end this cruel life. When she was rescued, she began to be injected with sedatives, and she was confused all day long. Frankie couldn’t bear to see her continue to survive like that, so she did A decision he couldn't accept to face himself.
Before unplugging Maggie's oxygen throat, he finally couldn't hide his heart with a man's body, he told Maggie that Mo Cuishle in Irish means "My Darling, My Blood", she is the treasure in his heart, the irreplaceable treasure . Frankie's career came to an end the moment he pulled his throat. From then on, he lived in a place surrounded by cedars and oaks, more remote than the remote, where there was only tranquility, and the most powerful boxer trainer of a generation lived alone. the rest of my life. He once used his blood to create a famous boxing general, but in the end, he was led into the darkest underground by this identity. The ups and downs of life may be an untouchable beauty.
