Million Dollar Baby
Frankly I don't know what all the fuss is about. It is not the propaganda piece that the right seems to think it is. Surprise surprise something has been blown out of proportion. I will say the film is outstanding though.

1. I saw it last night and it was 'OK' ...
The wife cried through the last 40 mins, I found I couldn't really get into it as I'm just not interested in female boxing.

6. I have absolutely zero interest
Must be the female boxing thing, too. But, male boxing does nothing for me, either.

2. "propaganda piece that the right seems to think it is"?
why do they they think it is a propoganda piece? because she's a woman in a man's business?

3. Don't want to give away anything but,
lets say they think it was very pro something they are very much against. Not abortion though.

The biggest piece of left-wing propaganda this year, even bigger than F-911!

9. One would have to give the ending away to answer you. Your
guess is incorrect. Otherwise, my lips (fingers) are sealed. ;)

5. BEST film this year
I had no idea Clint Eastwood has this much soul in him. The story is simple and straight-forward and incredibly moving. The film takes no political positions, it's about addressing the needs we find in our lives through others.

8. I think except for the ending the movie was a cliche. I cannot
understand the fuss about it. That includes the acting nominations.

Although I don't think Sideways is Best Picture caliber, Paul Giamatti should have been nominated as Best Actor in lieu of Clint, who played just an older Clint...
