Million Dollar Baby

[Jedi Master Carr]

I saw this tonight, overall a very good movie. Freeman and Swank deserved their oscars that is for sure. And if Jamie Foxx hadn't played Ray Charles I think Eastwood would have won. Also I see why it won best picture I think it is the human element, it being a very touching film that most people can relate to. Not knocking the Aviator but it is harder to relate to Howard Hughes and I think that ended up being the difference.

I saw it recently and I too thought it was quite good, but I couldn't help feeling like it was using a lot of cliche to push emotional buttons. Naah, I don't know if that's the way to put it, but there was something about it that just didn't feel right to me. Whatever, it was still a really good movie.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie. It made my top 10 for cryin' out loud. I just didn't connect with it the way some people did. Aviator was robbed. ;)
