Through hard work and nonstop practice at Frankie’s gym, Maggie proves she is up to the task. Clint Eastwood plays Frankie Dunn, the surly but protective boxing coach who refuses to train “a girl.” Hilary Swank is Maggie, the determined, inexperienced woman whose won’t-take-no-for-an-answer attitude finally gets Frankie to relent.

Million Dollar Baby appears to have a very predictable plot for at least half of the movie. I don’t believe anyone would think to call it a movie about boxing after watching it. Unlike films like Remember the Titans or Rocky, which keep the sport itself as a focal point throughout the film, Million Dollar Baby seems to remove boxing from the foreground while almost every scene has boxing in it. Million Dollar Baby may appear to some as another sports movie, but I don’t believe anyone who has seen it would put it in that genre. Summary: An unappreciated boxing trainer takes on a young, female fighter who dreams of becoming a professional. Other awards: Best Director, (Clint Eastwood) Best Actress, (Hilary Swank) and Best Supporting Actor (Morgan Freeman) Starring: Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman
