Million Dollar Baby: "Simplicity At Its Best"

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Two things that I could use to describe "Million Dollar Baby" are "Poetry in Motion" and "Simplicity at its Best"!

Watching it is like reading a book while you're seeing it on screen. It is well-paced and it gets you along its journey. You get hooked with the words, the rhymes, and the beats that you find yourself not being able to let 'till you know how it ends. You get to smile and weep as the characters face their challenges in life. It takes you for a ride smoothly from where you start to the point of your destination.

It is done very simply yet artsy. No unnecessary parts, no striking colors, no fancy dialogues, and no shocking emotions. It's about ordinary people with simple dreams - a story about you and me. It may be revolve around boxing but it is mostly about making your dreams fulfilled!

Great performances from such fine actors. If it'd be the last movie that you see before you die, then you did alright!
