Apart from boxing, Frankie's personal life can be said to be a mess.

is different from the usual inspiration of other sports movies. The first half of
"Million Dollar Baby" is inspirational, while the second half of
becomes destiny. Maggie, the protagonist of

has a terrible native family. The only fun and pillar of
is boxing. In order to be able to stand on the field,
has worked harder than others.
However, the goddess of fate did not show her favor,
on the contrary came when she was about to change her fate.
Maggie has since become a "waste man".
When she needed her family the most, the
family only knew to ask her for it. The only person
could give her companionship and support,
was Frankie, the coach of the teacher and father.
For Frankie,
has lived in self-blame and loneliness for most of his life.
couldn't take care of friends,
couldn't get close to his family,
Frankie wanted to protect everyone around him,
turned out to be over-protection, and
's lover also left him.
finally trained Maggie out, but
had a more serious game tragedy than 23 years ago.
This time, Maggie begged him to die for relief.
For Frankie, the test of fate is no longer whether he can save the one he loves, but whether he can personally help the one he loves to free himself from suffering.
Compared with Frankie and Maggie's ups and downs, great joy and sadness.
Eddie, the sweeping monk, is more like the most sober bystander in the film. Unlike Frankie,
is that
he knows that the fighters want most not to be unharmed.,
is constantly fighting on the court and defeating the opponent.
may be because he has already "dead" once,
is always more calm than others in the face of life and death.
is worse than a splendid death than a plain life.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to encourage Maggie to give up Frankie,
pursues better results on the court,
can also go beyond ethics and let Frankie help Maggie euthanize and get free.

in this game, you may not be able to resist fate,
but you can only grasp fate as much as possible before fate strangles you.
Maggie did the best at this point. Although
was as short as a meteor, she used to shine for herself. Compared with Frankie who has been living in self-blame
, Maggie chose her own life. Although
is short, she has no regrets.
Compared with Maggie and Eddie,
Frankie is much better in other aspects except for the disharmonious family relationship,
but Frankie’s life is the most painful,
goes to church every week and writes to his daughter every week. Take care of every apprentice...
can't make him happy.
Maggie's love and perseverance touched him,
made him a little passionate about life,
, but it didn't take long for Maggie's accident to pull him into self-blame again.
Maggie is both weak and strong.
cannot choose her own destiny. However,
has achieved her own results through her own efforts. Although
is short, it is gorgeous.
And Frankie, it can be said that he has always been a person who succumbed to fate,
can only get comfort by closing himself.
In the face of fate, some people at
choose to live their own light in a limited life, some people at
choose to hide in their own tree holes secretly hurt, and no one at
can evaluate who is right or wrong. As long as
has lived for themselves, This is enough.
