This week we review the 2004 American sports drama film Million Dollar Baby directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.
Winner of 4 Oscars - best picture, best director, best actress (Hilary Swank) and best supporting actor (for Morgan Freeman), the film follows Margaret "Maggie" Fitzgerald (Swank), an underdog amateur boxer who is helped by a grumpy cantankerous boxing trainer (Eastwood) to achieve her dream of becoming a professional boxer.
But it is way more than this - and again - spoiler alert if you have not seen it.
This has an incredible twist. The first half might be about boxing - the second half is not.
You do not have to be into boxing or sports to enjoy this movie or podcast.
We discuss some important themes based on the twist and the Aussie gets fed up with the grumpy Scotsman's long-winded intro and compares him to grumpy Clint.
Serious themes. Serious podcast. With a fair bit of energy.
Enjoy.
