A movie "Million Dollar Baby"...
After my nightmares of terrible finals,
though got enjoyed drama and movie in my room usually..
but
it been long 4 me enjoying such a really meaningful movie cox nowadays the movies made only for selling points and in really low Q, not worth...
watched a movie " Million Dollar Baby", it's quite an old movie downloaded from USM sharers..^^ It's about the characters inside of Frankie, Mr Scrap and Maggie.
it's neither comedy nor a romantic story, indeed..
it's an rather an action, boxing or a girl fighter, a relationship valued story
it didn't end with a perfect happily ending, rather a sad ending..
but i found it somehow a really messaging and meaningful.
The story comes with a 31 yrs girl (i rather called her girl than woman), Maggie or Mary M found her new aim in life after working as a waitress for almost 10++ yrs, where she needs to serve her family since her mom is a widow and she really loved her and family...
Then she met Frankie, an experienced boxer's trainer which do not train girl...
She insisted Frankie to train her.. Somehow, he also accepted her as from her persistance spirit of not knowing the term "giving up"
Then, start the girl's training and fighting days from little little her and becoming somebody.
The girl doesn't care so much about her needs but rather care about her family. She is most enjoying her young moments rather with her daddy..
A scene where she worked so hard, then earning enough as a fighter then she is so excited to show her mom her gift with Frankie - a house but she is disappointed in the return as her mom didn't appreciate her hard works at all, but rather end up with lots of complaints, worrying welfare things, maintenances and so on..
It made me thought of whether am i used to complaints like the old mom too much when i was given with a gift and provided sufficiently daily instead? Then making others been hurted and self as well?
The story goes on to it's climax where she met a champion competition with the opponent of world champion "Blue Billy", famous with a dirty records.. Maggie didn't work out as a champion this time and she been knocked down and lied in the hospital the rest of her time ..
Another scene in the hospital..
She blaming herself instead for didn't follow the leason that Frankie used to emphasis to her and talked like just to himself "Protecting urself everytime". She said," I shouldn't drop down my hand, i should have turn back" there on the bed...
But.. now it's just too late..
Sometime, it just too late the moments for us to regret for what we done.. Maggie didn't blame her opponent "Billy" not even a word but instead herself...
Am i used to blame other at the 1st place when things goes so wrong? But it rather our action lead to responsibility in many times?
Then.. Frankie continued to take care of comma Maggie in the hospital endlessly... Frankie never give up Maggie life but Maggie give up this time requesting Frankie to end her life. Since Frankie refused, she did in her own ways now trying to end her life bitting her tongue.
When Frankie in the deep regret and blaming himself for shouldn't have trained Maggie at the very 1st place.. The very wise character, old blackie man, Mr Scrap used to tell Frankie that "People washing dish and mopping floor, at the end of the day, they died" and said "i never get the shot"
"I did it all right" should be instead. Frankie provided Maggie her shot.
Am i knowing and getting my real "shot" in life?
Then... Frankie return to the hospital and end her life by injecting adrenaline..
Confliction of religion here too:
When a comma person insist to end life (commiting suicide) but not with her own ability, but requesting others to do so, or rather been killed by another person under her own permission,
is that the sin of "killing" is belonged to that person (Frankie) when meeting with heavenly father in the end of the days?
Of course, i strongly do not agree the act of killing one's and commit suicide in the story.
Since killing ourself meaning killing HIM for me since our body is now HIS temple..
and JESUS said:" I am the resurrection and life". No one have right taking life now...
I hope that "i did it all alright" for all my decisions instead cos every1 should be responsible for what we done instead... I hoped that one day when i met HIM at the gate, i can proudly said," I did it all right."
Pure mindset or motive leads to decisions, decision leads to action, then actions leads to wrongful and right of an event.. it's a cyclic process^^
And what i liked about the following quotes in the dialogues:
"Tough ain't enough"
"Sometime there's nothing that u can do"
"But stepping too far, u ain't fight at all"
"Anybody can loss one fight"
