This is one of the better conservative critiques of that movie. I agree that Clint was not out to serve anyone's political ideology. He's just not like that. He was simply filming an acclaimed sportswriter's novella. Nevertheless, he could have gone the extra mile and made it really inspiring. If anyone out there has actually seen the movie or read the actual story from which its taken; I would like to get their opinion.

I'm mostly disappointed in Clint's refusal to take responsibility for his film's message.

If this is what he believes he should stand up for it. If not, he shouldn't have made the film.

Wesley at his best, yet again.

Eastwood Continues Disability Vendetta with "Million Dollar Baby"

Perhaps this movie is Dirty Harry’s revenge for being sued in 1997 after refusing to include $7000 worth of accessible bathrooms in his 6.7 million dollar resort renovation. Eastwood spearheaded the call to weaken the ADA by including a detrimental ninety-day notification provision. The fact that Eastwood refused pre-lawsuit notification via certified mail and was sued under California state law not the ADA came out at a subsequent congressional hearing.

"Many people with SCI and other disabilities survive, thrive, and contribute to our society," stated Roth. "Dirty Harry could win the day and show us all a better use of his legendary talent by portraying disabled lives well-lived rather than sending the damaging message "better dead than disabled."
