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.
I never thought of that. I have a friend who, almost literally, owns every movie ever released on DVD. He attends just about every movie that's release, even the lousy ones (I tease him that he has no discernment when it comes to movies, and will watch anything that moves). I was distressed the way MDB film ended, but there is no doubt that it was a very well directed and produced film. It was also the biggest *downer* since "Ol' Yeller."
