Recently,the 96th Oscar award ceremony has been in .As a usual,apart from the awards,it is a ceremony which always claim some relevant issues in our society such as corruption,climate change or war conflicts.Nevertheless,this year,it is an important claiming to women.This is the first time that 3 film production are directed by women.There is not doubt that women are breaking the glass ceiling in Hollywood.However,this fact already happened in 2004 with Hilary Swank.In that ceremony,not only won award the main character to Million Dollar Baby,but also broke the man’s rules in a boxing world.
Million Dollar Baby is an American sport and drama film.It was directed,co-produced and starring by the genius Clint Eastwood in 2004.This successful movie was based on the 2000 collection book by F.X.Toole.Yet,according to BBC,it might have been inspired on boxier Katie Dallam in his tragic story.This brilliant film received seven nominations at the Academy Oscar award and it ended up winning four of them (best picture,best director,best actress (Hilary Swank) and best supporting actor (Morgan Freeman).There is not doubt that its unbeatable cast was the key of this acknowledgement.In this case,audience,critics and cinema worker considered that this tape as one of the best films of the 2000s.I’d finally like to point out that not all that glitters is gold about opinions,a group of disabled people felt the Swank picture wasn't appropriated.
Margaret Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) struggles her way up in the women’s amateur boxing while she is working as a waitress.After her workday,Maggie trains in a boxing gym in Los Angeles.There,the owner is underrapprediated boxing trainer Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood).Despite her huge efford,Dunn considers that Maggie is too old to begin a boxing career,and he nevers train women.Besides,he is totally focused by in a another male boxer.In this gym also works Eddie Dupris (Morgan Freeman) who helps to Maggie to convince Frankie’train.Yet,not only would be their relationship difficult,but also to achieve Maggie’s dream.
Million Dollar Baby was superbly directed and wonderfully acted by a cast who are all on absolute top.We all knew how mesmerising Eastwood and Freeman could be in the film but Swank is a real revelation in what was an Oscar worthy performance.For good or bad,the ending will stay with you forever.
...The Magic of risking evetything for a dream that nobody sees but you.
