I like this film because it is A story of overcoming. For me, a masterpiece by its director, a great
script and a magnificent performance by the three protagonists.
The film is about boxing trainer Frankie Dunn (played by Clint Eastwood), his employee Eddie
Dupris and female boxer Maggie Fitzgerald.
One day Maggie walks into Frankie gym and tells him that she needs a trainer. Frankie doesn’t
like the idea at all.
Secondly, he thinks that 31-year-ols Maggie is too old to begin a boxing career. But Maggie
doesn’t give up, and Frankie eventually agrees to train her.
A special relationship develops between the two during Maggie’s training. A tragedy is one of
their lives puts their friendship to the test.
What I liked least is that it is a bitter, melancholic and sad movie, but at the same time it is
wonderful and very comforting.
In conclusion
If you think boxing is man’s sport then you should watch this fantastic film.
