So boring that I ran out of post title ideas

Million Dollar Baby

I started watching this film with the strong conviction that it would be “overrated”. But then, the story became quite touching when she started to become successful. Before, it was merely an “american dream” Hollywood movie for me; afterwards, everything became more interesting. I didn’t care for the fights (I never liked boxing), but I cared about the characters, their relationship and the overall atmosphere of the film. In the end, the last scene surely was sad, especially because they left it quite open. I would have wished to know a little bit about what became of the others afterwards.

Aside from the slight sadness of the end, I have to admit that I was quite right to assume that the film wouldn’t do all that much for me. I think that Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman are great actors, however I don’t particularily like Hilary Swank (she always has this same face, my my), so there is nothing outstanding really. However, I do think that it was a nice experience to have watched this film and noticed that it met my expectations exactly – it’s not like I wasted my time.
