Million Dollar Baby

Occassionally I watch the exiting crowd to measure their reaction to the film just seen. Man, I would have loved to see people’s faces after this one but I was too shell-shocked to pay attention.

There are a great many issues churned up by this film, many of which I tend to disagree with and most of which can’t be discussed because it would spoil the film for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

Hell of a film. Clint Eastwood deserves an Oscar for channelling Burgess Meredith from Rocky. I don’t think Hilary Swank earned this one but I didn’t get to see Annette Bening’s performance for comparison.

And I’ve finally seen every single Best Picture nominee. The Academy picked a good crop of films this year for a change.
