Plot

Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), a female amateur who aspires to prove herself by becoming a successful boxer, is reluctantly taken on by Frank Dunn (Clint Eastwood), a down-and-out boxing trainer who has been cast aside by his colleagues and relatives, including his estranged daughter, Katie. Hilary Ann Swank (born July 30 1974 is an American Actress. Her Hollywood film career began with a small part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Clinton "Clint" Eastwood Jr (born May 31 1930 is a four-time Academy Award winning American Actor and Filmmaker. Dunn helps Maggie realize her goal while developing a stronger-than-blood bond with her. Initially, Dunn's attitude towards Maggie is indifferent, because she is female and already 31 years old. Maggie, however, perseveres in her attempts to win Dunn's favor by training each day in his gym, even when others discourage her. Frank's friend and employee, ex-boxer Eddie "Scrap Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman) narrates the story in non-dialogue scenes. Morgan Porterfield Freeman Jr (born June 1 1937 is an Academy Award -winning American actor Film director and Narrator.

Dunn writes to his estranged daughter every week but receives no replies. Dunn's priest cannot fathom why Katie wouldn't respond and instead doubts Dunn's claims that he writes to her. Dunn himself, lacking a close relationship with his daughter, establishes a strong one with Maggie, whose own family cares little for her well-being, despite her best efforts to help them. Dunn coaches Maggie and manages her professional career. With his expert help, she fights her way up to the women's welterweight boxing division, and eventually ranks high enough for a match in Las Vegas against the WBA women's welterweight champion (played by real life boxer Lucia Rijker), who is known for her foul play. Welterweight is a Weight class division in combat sports Originally the term "welterweight" was used only in Boxing, but other combat sports like Kickboxing Las Vegas ( Spanish: "The Meadows" is the most populous City in the state of Nevada, the seat of Clark County, and an internationally The World Boxing Association (WBA is a Boxing organization that sanctions official matches and awards the WBA world championship title at the professional level Lucia Rijker (born December 6, 1967 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch professional female boxer, kickboxer, and Actress

During the match, an illegal attack by her opponent causes Maggie to hit her head and neck on her corner stool, which the frantic Dunn is unable to move out of the way in time. As a result, Maggie is paralyzed from the neck down. Dunn, venting his rage at the injustice, initially blames Dupris for convincing him to train her but in the end blames himself, for having worked with her against his better judgment.

In a medical rehabilitation facility, Maggie hopes that her family will visit her, though Dunn repeatedly calls them with no success. Eventually, the family arrives with an attorney in tow, to arrange the transfer of Maggie's assets to them. This appalls Dunn, who recognizes their venality; but when her mother insists that Maggie sign the paperwork that would confirm the family as her beneficiary, Maggie herself tells her relatives off for good. Eventually, she confides to Dunn that she has "seen it all" and asks to be relieved of her suffering. Dunn refuses to help her die but does speak with his priest, who objects to the idea of euthanasia. Euthanasia (literally "good death" in Ancient Greek) refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner Maggie then attempts suicide by biting her tongue multiple times in an attempt to bleed to death. Though hospital staff prevent further suicide attempts, Dunn decides that Maggie's suffering should not continue, and he injects her with an overdose of adrenaline.

Just before administering the injection, Dunn finally tells Maggie the meaning of the nickname by which he has called her; the phrase, Mo Cuishle, is Gaelic for "My darling, my blood". Irish (ga ''Gaeilge'' is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish. Afterwards, as Dupris explains, Dunn disappears. Dupris's narration is revealed to be a letter to Dunn's daughter, Katie, informing her of her father's true character.

Development and production

The film was stuck in so-called "development hell" for years before it was shot. "Development hell" is media-industry Jargon for a Film, Television Screenplay, Computer program, Concept, or Several studios rejected the project even when Eastwood signed on as actor and director. Even Warner Bros. , Eastwood's longtime home base, wouldn't agree to a $30 million budget. Eastwood persuaded Lakeshore Entertainment's Tom Rosenberg to put up half the budget (as well as handle foreign distribution), with Warner Bros. kicking in the rest ($15 million). Eastwood shot the film in 37 days, and the film's total worldwide box office gross is around US$220 million[1].

Response

The film received highly positive reviews with the review tallying website Rotten Tomatoes reporting that 192 out of the 210 reviews they tallied were positive for a score of 92% and a certification of "fresh". Rotten Tomatoes is a Website devoted to reviews information and news of Movies. [2] Roger Ebert gave the film four stars and stated that "Clint Eastwood's 'Million Dollar Baby' is a masterpiece, pure and simple," listing it as the best film of 2004. [3] Michael Medved stated that: "My main objection to Million Dollar Baby always centered on its misleading marketing, and effort by Warner Brothers to sell it as a movie about a female Rocky, with barely a hint of the pitch-dark substance that led Andrew Sarris of the New York Observer to declare that 'no movie in my memory has depressed me more than Million Dollar Baby. Michael Medved (born October 3 1948) is an American radio host, conservative political commentator, Film critic Rocky is a 1976 Film written by and starring Sylvester Stallone and directed by John G The New York Observer is a weekly newspaper first published in New York City on September 22, 1987, by Arthur L '"[4]

In January and February 2005, the film sparked controversy when some disability rights activists protested the ending, in which Frank carries out Maggie's wish to die after she becomes a quadriplegic as a result of a spinal cord injury. The disability rights movement aims to improve the Quality of life of people with disabilities. Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, is a Symptom in which a human experiences Paralysis affecting all four limbs although not necessarily total paralysis Spinal cord injury causes myelopathy or damage to white matter or myelinated fiber tracts that carry sensation and motor signals to and from the brain Disability Rights activists believed that the ending supported the euthanasia of disabled people. Conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel panned the film but said it would continue to win awards because "it's Hollywood's best political propaganda of the year . Debbie Schlussel (born April 9, 1969) is an American attorney a political commentator and a Blogger . . it supports killing the handicapped, literally putting their lights out. "[5] Wesley J. Smith in The Weekly Standard also criticized the movie for its ending and for missed opportunities; Smith said, "The movie could have ended with Maggie triumphing once again, perhaps having obtained an education and becoming a teacher; or, opening a business managing boxers; or perhaps, receiving a standing ovation as an inspirational speaker. Wesley J Smith is a lawyer and an award winning author a senior fellow in bioethics at the Discovery Institute, an attorney for the International Task Force on Euthanasia The Weekly Standard is an American opinion Magazine published 48 times per year "[6]

Eastwood responded to the criticism by saying the movie was about the American dream. The American Dream is Belief in the Freedom that allows all citizens and residents of the United States to achieve their goals [7] In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Eastwood distanced himself from the actions of characters in his films, noting, "I've gone around in movies blowing people away with a .44 magnum. The Los Angeles Times (also known as the LA Times) is a daily Newspaper published in Los Angeles California and distributed Dirty Harry is the name of a series of films and novels starring fictional San Francisco Police Department detective 'Dirty' Harry Callahan, portrayed by But that doesn't mean I think that's a proper thing to do". [8] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times, who named the film his favorite of 2004, believes "a movie is not good or bad because of its content, but because of how it handles its content. Roger Joseph Ebert (iːbɝt born June 18, 1942) is an American film critic and Screenwriter. The Chicago Sun-Times is an American daily Newspaper published in Chicago, Illinois. Million Dollar Baby is classical in the clean, clear, strong lines of its story and characters, and had an enormous emotional impact". [9]

Some Irish speakers have also criticized the fact that the phrase Mo Chúisle, a term of endearment meaning My pulse, was misspelled in the movie as Mo Cuishle, as shown on the back of Maggie's robe. Irish (ga ''Gaeilge'' is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish. [10] In Irish and other Goidelic languages, consonants soften when followed by a vowel, hence the "c" in "cúisle" turns into a guttural "ch". The Goidelic languages, (also sometimes called particularly in colloquial situations the Gaelic languages or collectively Gaelic) historically formed a Dialect Lenition is a kind of Consonant mutation that appears in many Languages Along with assimilation, it is one of the primary sources of historical change It is translated in the film as "My darling, my blood". The original phrase is short for A chúisle mo chroí, meaning "O, pulse of my heart". [11] The movie has also been praised for stirring interest in the Irish language in the U. S. [11].

Spoiler debate

When describing the plot of the film, Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert gave a spoiler warning. The Chicago Sun-Times is an American daily Newspaper published in Chicago, Illinois. Roger Joseph Ebert (iːbɝt born June 18, 1942) is an American film critic and Screenwriter. He noted in his reviews the difficulty of discussing the film without discussing details of the plot, saying that even warning about spoilers would itself be a spoiler. [12][9]

Jeffrey Overstreet of Christianity Today avoided giving away plot details, stating that while knowing the nature of the third part wouldn't ruin the film, it would alter the experience significantly. Jeffrey Overstreet is a novelist and film reviewer who currently resides in Shoreline Washington. Christianity Today is an Evangelical Christian Periodical based in Carol Stream Illinois. [13] Mark Moring of Christianity Today said, "Who wants to watch a movie when you know how it ends? We've actually had to wrestle with that question around here lately . Christianity Today is an Evangelical Christian Periodical based in Carol Stream Illinois. . . . " Moring said, "We wondered if our "moral obligation" to warn Christians about the potentially disturbing subject matter somehow "trumped" our professional commitment to avoid plot spoilers—especially the worst plot spoiler of all: divulging the end. After some discussion, we agreed that the right decision was to not give away the end to Million Dollar Baby. "[14]

Film critic Debbie Schlussel gave a spoiler warning before discussing the plot of the film. [15] Michael Atkinson of The Village Voice said the film had a "spoiler-spawning shift in narrative. This article is about a New York newspaper For the Ottawa Hills Ohio magazine see The Village Voice of Ottawa Hills. "[16] Ian Grey of Baltimore City Paper said the last act seems to be from another film at first, and said "Naming this misfortune and its consequences, however, would be an unforgivable spoiler.
