The Hollywood-Media 'Million Dollar Baby' Hoax - (Triumph by Joan Swirsky!)

Nowhere is this more obvious than in the recent release of "Million Dollar Baby," the new Clint Eastwood film that trailers artfully convey as an endearing “relationship” movie between a gritty boxing manager and an even grittier female boxer wannabe, a sort of million-to-one-odds story that, viewers were assured, would have them in for a good ole sentimental cry – perfect for the Christmas season.

When the movie debuted last week, the L.A. Film Critics immediately voted it runner-up for best picture of the year, it received five Golden Globe nominations, the National Board of Reviews promptly placed it on its Ten Best list, and reviewers around the country confirmed what the coming attractions promise.

A film about a failed Catholic who is such a moral weakling that he vanishes after he commits murder. A film that both Hollywood and the media have knowingly lied about in order to entice people into movie theaters so they can cringe at its unending blood and gore and experience not enlightenment but pity at the heroine’s fate and disgust at her trainer’s cowardice.

So she becomes a quad during a fight and he assists her suicide.

Yuck!

Oh. My. God. I am SO GLAD I read this review first. I was considering seeing this movie. Ew! Yikes! Yuck! ...Oy!!

Count me among the dupes who believed the ads.

This movie is satanic.

[Restorer]

Saw a movie a few years back (I think it was called The Letter) about a love letter that is found by a number of people, each of whom thinks it is from someone else. Hilarity and complications ensue.

Of course, the denouement is that it is from one lesbian to another. There was absolutely no hint of this in the advertising. The reviewers also all participated in the secrecy.

I have no objections if people want to make movies with same-sex love themes. I greatly resent their getting me in to view their propaganda under false pretenses.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Bump for this accurate warning about a pitiful, disgusting, satanic, putrid, vile, manipulative and dishonest movie.

Eastwood should be ashamed of himself.

I want my money back. And I got in free.

I want the $10.50 for pain and suffering.

[Richard Kimball]

Eastwood's last decent movie was Heartbreak Ridge. I don't bother to see anything of his anymore.

[ishabibble]

Yet another all assault on the Roman Catholic faith by Hollywood. Not exactly cutting edge these days...

I posted this in another thread:

Hollywood has a formula now:

Create a bunch of complex characters, toss them in together and mix well, then paint a compelling interesting picture until the audience says, "Where are they going with this?" Then spring a controversial social issue on them and have it resolved according Hollywood’s viewpoint. However, by the time the credits roll, anyone with half a brain will realize the whole thing was propaganda and contrived from the start.

That's the formula for "Cider House Rules" and "$MM Baby" Is there one like this for homosexual marriage in the works?

Thanks for answering my question.

As critic Harry Forbes (Tidings online) finally admitted: "What starts out as a formulaic, Rockyesque fight film takes a disturbingly downbeat turn, becoming a somber meditation on assisted suicide with a morally problematic ending which … will leave Catholic viewers emotionally against the ropes."

Aha! So the personal is political after all! This is the Christmas "gift" that the secularist, anti-Christian powers-that-be in Hollywood and the media decided to foist on the public during the Christmas holiday season!

Hollywood at its propagandist best!

The movie sounds repulsive.
