      The movie ‘Million Dollar Baby’ is really a million worth movie. The story of the movie was narrated mainly around a lady who struggles a lot to become Boxing champion and the problems she faced after becoming the champion.

      The central idea of the movie is to show the other side of coin. By this I mean the other side of a boxing champion.Main characters of the movie are Fleek, Maggie and Scrap. Clint Eastwood who is also the director of this movie performs Fleek character, Actress Hilary Swank acts as Maggies and Morgan Freeman acts as Scrap.

      Actors: Clint Eastwood ( Freek) Hilary Swank ( Maggie) Morgan FreeMan (Scrap)

But One bad day Maggie hurts badly due to her opponent’s mistake in the match and as a result her spinal cord breaks. She is admitted in to hospital.

But Maggie says to Mr.Scrap that this is happened all because of her negligence and she also tells that Mr.Fleek told many times to be attentive all the time and to keep her hands in attentive position always.Mr. Fleek looks after Maggie in the hospital, he takes

        The story is very interesting from the beginning to the ending. Clint Eastwood not acted but involved in the character.Hilary Swank performed very well as boxing baby. She acted such a way that I could not stop my tears when she agrees to disconnect her oxygen connection . Each and every dialogue that she speaks when she is on the hospital bed ,directly touches our hearts. The director Clint East wood succeeded in showing both sides of Boxer’s life.

        The story is based upon stories from ‘Rope Burns’ by F.X.Toole and directed by Clint East wood, produced by Albert S. Ruddy,Tom RosenBerg,Pal Haggis. It is Warner Bros Pictures, A timewarner company’s Product.
