I saw Million Dollar Baby last night and can't stop thinking about it today. I thought it was phenomenal. The movie tackled so many topics--regret and second chances, relationships between children and parents (actual or symbolic), the right to die--but it did it in a way that it seemed effortless. Not to mention that the fighting scenes were excellent, and Hillary Swank made me want to get my butt to the gym.
Yes, the end was emotional. I cried my eyes out. But I think if it didn't end that way, it would have been just another sports movie (think Rudy).
Sidenote: I LOVED when Morgan Freeman got to win "fight #110".
