Million Dollar Baby movie analysis

The Disability Rights Education Fund released a statement about the film in February 2005 that included the following: “Perhaps the most central stereotype fueling disability prejudice is the mistaken assumption inherent in the message of the movie about the quality of life of individuals with disabilities.

ParticipantI have watched this movie a few years ago for the first time and since, it haven’t gotten out of my head.
It was heart breaking, sad and touching.
I was also inspired my Maggie’s endeavor and determination.
** Spoiler Alert:
I also got from the movie that death can also be the path to freedom and liberation. Maggie was a dear to Frankie but after he saw her suffering and her affliction, at last he let her go.-

ParticipantThis movie showed that loosing and death is not always a bad thing. Maggie lost the game but she was a champion. I really loved the way she handled and overcame the difficulties and problems. She was so tough and always had the smile on. She was not only the champion of boxing but she was also champion of resistance, braveness and kindness. Her death broke my heart but I liked the ending.
