Let me guess. The female lead, with whom the audience is made to sympathesize, suffers a broken neck and is paralyzed after being decked by a female Japanese boxer.
Despite liking Million Dollar Baby a lot and thinking it was a very well made movie as well, it amazes me when I see that people own it. I could never have the desire to watch the movie enough to own it just because it is so sad.
And the movie is criticized by "Right To Lifers" who think that Eastwood's character was immoral for granting the request of a friend....
give him a break....
There was a recent NCIS episode that featured a marine Medal Of Honor recipient who turned himself in for a murder committed during action on Iwo.
It was completely fictional and featured the appearance of a wittness.... a japaneese soldier who could testify to events. He lied of course but he captured the attention of the old Marine. Turns out the bogus testimony made the marine realize the circumstances and not be so hard on himself.
The Japaneese admitted he was not on Iwo.....but was on Guadacanal.
THe subject is very interesting and Clint will do a very good job.
Ping to watch at home.
