Million Dollar Baby, Clint Eastwood’s 25th picture as a director, joins Unforgiven and Mystic River as a masterpiece by a great American filmmaker. In an age of inflated spectacle and computer-generated impacts spectaculars, Eastwood transforms a graceful screenplay by Paul Haggis (adapted from F.X. Toole’s book Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner, a pseudonym for veteran boxing manager Jerry Boyd) into a simple, humanitarian example of classical filmmaking, as deeply felt in its heart-wrenching emotions as it is streamlined in its character-driven storytelling.
Swank was the first female to win an Oscar for portraying a boxer, but it wasn’t her first gender-bending role; she also won an Oscar for playing a transgender guy in Boys Don’t Cry in 2000. Million Dollar Baby is remembered for various reasons, including her performance and several well-crafted factors. The movie was full of mesmerizing dialogue.
