I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, both as an actor and director.
Million Dollar Baby was enjoyable, the three main performances were excellent, and as usual Eastwood's minimal direction was apt for the subject matter.
I don't think it was as good as Mystic River, but I certainly thought it was the best film of all the nominations. Morgan Freeman's voice over reminded me a lot of the Shawshank Redemption, and I believe this was a clever ploy by Eastwood, Freeman seems to be one of the most affable older actors working today, and as such I believe people will warm to any character and film he is in.
Hilaray Swank is fine as the leading lady, but I would like to see her brake her mould of poor white trash, I believe she is capable of much more challenging roles.
Eastwood like Freeman is a Grandfather type figure, who always seems to bring so much to a role by subtle technique and by under playing his role.
I'm glad that Eastwood won the Oscar for his efforts, he seems to be like a fine wine, he just gets better with age, and I look forward to his next project.
