[@noamherer2062]

Hilary Swank is such a great actress in this movie.

[@deanroddey2881]

Hillary Swank rips my heart out in every scene. The only thing missing in this movie is a scene at the end, where someone walks up behind the Blue Bear on a dark street and says, "I have a message from Maggie".

[@eastcoastaj5048]

She is an amazing actress. You wanna talk wild career trajectories,you need to go back and see her in her first film Karate Kid 4 and then Boys Don't Cry in which she earned her first Oscar..

[@magortom]

I've been avoiding rewatching this movie for probably a decade now. When I tell you we freaked out the exact same way when she fell onto the stool, I mean it, cause I know thats when the movie decides to break my heart

[@christopherpaxon4422]

I really loved Morgan Freeman in UNLEASHED

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

Clint Eastwood won Best Director, Hilary Swank won Best Actress, Morgan Freeman won Best Supporting Actor and also Best Picture. It deserved all of them

@@MaryCherryOfficial That was Hillary Swank's second Oscar for Best Actress but I can't remember the name of the other movie. It was around 2000.

[@NBLP7001]

I saw this at the cinema. There were about 40 people in the theater. When the credits started to roll, no one moved. It was mostly men at that screening. I imagine they didn't want to be seen leaving the theater in tears.

I cried watching this movie. This had a big impact on me.

[@geomic21]

Behind the scenes: Mary, I'm so happy you loved another Clint Eastwood film and I'm glad you liked the cast of "Million Dollar Baby". This was the first film I ever worked on as a casting assistant. During the casting process, regarding the role of "Maggie", my former boss (Phyllis Huffman) called Clint and suggested he take a look at Hilary Swank. He told us to meet with her in NY and if we liked her, we could set up a meeting for them in LA. When she came in to our office, we fell in love. She was so sweet and down to earth. So we set up a meeting at his office, she flew out to LA and they hit it off immediately. We saw no other actors for that role. One thing I truly admire about Clint is that he trusts his instincts. He doesn't tend overthink things. Thats why many times he only shoots 2 or 3 takes (per setup) and then moves on. At times, Clint has been know to shoot his rehearsals. Some of his best takes have come from them because the actors are relaxed and are in the moment. Mary, I can't wait to see your next Clint Eastwood movie reaction. Best, Geoff Miclat

[@robertreynolds930]

awesome! thanks for the bts.

[@msdarby515]

That's an awesome story. Thank you. I've always imagined Clint is the kind of guy who could be in any setting and be his authentic self.

[@CT-uf4fb]

❤

[@TrojanRabbit521]

Clint Eastwood keeps it so real. He doesn’t sugarcoat his movies some are a tough watch and leaves you thinking about the good, bad and ugly of life. Eastwood is so underrated as director this movie is only time I saw my dad cry. Thanks for watching this movie. Great reaction as always Mary.

[@mugziet8841]

I'm at around the 19:00 mark and you just said "this is such a wholesome movie" and my heart aches knowing what's to come. It's a heartbreaking movie.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

I wanted to add - The fact that Morgan Freeman's narration, though so smooth and seemingly just an aid to help our understanding as we move along, is really a letter to Katie, is such a powerful reveal.

[@bradybimson9106]

"This movie is so wholesome!" Oh no Mary, you sweet summer child. I'm afraid of the end of this reaction, good on you for taking this movie on. Definitely a tear-jerker

[@msdarby515]

I had the same thought. It was excruciating watching her fall in love with them, knowing what was yet to come. 🥺

[@Mrs.Deanna_Ember]

Yes its a tough watch, though I do think her character and the whole premise is wholesome in itself, but we find it hard because we know she is a good girl who is well intended, yet dealing with such awful people in her life, who contradict that innocence,..

[@lulub517]

I remember watching this for the first time on a plane ride back home from a long holiday, I was jet lagged, had the flu and exhausted and I ended up ugly crying in the middle of the flight, my face was drenched with tears and I could NOT keep it together. Bad descision to watch something this heartbreaking on a fifteen hour plane ride.

[@msdarby515]

So was getting on a plane with the flu. 😣😏

[@lulub517]

@@msdarby515 I was flying home for context, so I didn’t really have a choice. I was travel sick and this was before Covid as well. You get sick when you travel to many places at once which is what my family and I did at that time.

[@msdarby515]

@@lulub517 Yeah, that happens to me, as well. The dry air on the plane and, I'm certain, exposure to all the viral load, usually gets me a cold, at minimum.

[@seraphik]

hahaha I've def had that happen too. the first hunger games of all things. that scene where rue dies, i had tears running down my face.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

This story is so powerful. Clint's character is trying so hard to reconcile with his Catholic faith's dogma, when he is forced, out of love, to choose to commit that faith's most rigidly unforgivable act. A self-sacrifice he'll never be able to live with having made, and could not have done otherwise. I don't know of another film that is this heart-wrenching.

[@NBLP7001]

"My darling. My blood" crushed me. The only other time I experienced a similar feeling in a movie theater was during 'Schindler's List.' When the cart full of dead bodies goes by and I saw the sleeve of that red coat sticking out.........

[@kjek1]

Clint Eastwood, amazing actor, master filmmaker. A complete legend

[@axr7149]

interesting Fact: The piano score you hear in the movie was composed by Clint Eastwood himself. Also, this movie resulted in the ONLY Oscar win for Morgan Freeman (he won Best Supporting Actor for this). Coincidentally, his win only came one year after his SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION co-star Tim Robbins (who won Supporting Actor for MYSTIC RIVER, another Eastwood film).

[@icemav5740]

The more I see (and hear) of Clint, the more I realise that he is probably the greatest talent that has ever worked in the film industry. Not only is he one of the greatest and most iconic actors of all time with some the most iconic films of all time, but he has consistently directed some of the best movies I’ve ever seen

I didn't know Clint Eastwood composed that piece. 😱

[@axr7149]

@ If you check the credits, he is listed as the film's score composer.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

@ Clint is a pianist and an avid jazz enthusiast. I purchased this score and have it in my phone. Minimalistic beauty. Thanks, Clint Eastwood -

[@andreabruson5558]

Behind that tough look, Clint Eastwood is a very sensible man who can dive deeply into human feelings and emotions and tell them without being silly or pathetic. Every movie of his as a director has a multiple layers meaning. I hope you're gonna step into Changeling for your next reaction, I promise it's gonna be a great experience! Love ya! ❤

[@msdarby515]

This movie ripped my heart out so horribly that I never watched it a second time. This is my first time seeing any scene in 18 years and it was hard.

[@stephenjohnson8617]

[@msdarby515]

[@sonyawasmer2344]

I sobbed in a full theater watching this with my husband. Then scolded him in the car leaving that he didn’t tell me it was going to be that sad.

[@mcentepede]

One movie that caught me by surprise was Here On Earth with LeeLee Sobieski, who was supposed to be the next teen sensation. She was popular, pretty, and winning. All the guys in the movies wanted her. Not to spoil this one, but it is one of those terminal romance-type movies. It reminds me of Million Dollars Baby. Mary Cherry should check that one out. Be prepared with alot of tissues.

[@bretr7327]

This is my favorite Clint Eastwood movie. As you said, the writing and acting are on such a high level that few other movies compare. They don’t rely on special effects or CGI to wow the viewer because the story is just so damn good. Thanks for reviewing this movie.

[@doctor_del]

I like to imagine Clint Eastwood laughing maniacly at ALL of his later in life movies and muttering, "muahaha this'll make'm cry!"

[@darrenl3289]

Am I the only one that found it adorable when Mary started crawling up and over her chair when she got excited about the boxing? lol

[@MaryCherryOfficial]

haha! who knew-- a sports movie huh

[@GregDaGoblin]

Great movie I don't think I'll ever watch a second time. It was stuck in my brain for days. You think it's gonna be a "she wins and everybody lives happily ever after" movie....and then it goes super dark.

[@Metamorfeus]

"Mo Chuisle" is an Irish Gaelic endearment that actually translates to "my pulse". It is a diminution of a longer phrase, "A chuisle mo chroí", literally The Pulse of My Heart.

[@halosandheroes]

This movie, the gritty hopeless feel, and the accurate portrayal by all the actors was well done. I appreciate your honesty reactions.

[@msmilie]

Clint is awesome. I've been a fan since my father introduced me to his films when I was a young'un. Not every film he's been involved with has been a homerun, but they're all worth a watch because of the presence he brings. This film of course benefits by the stellar supporting cast. Definitely one of Clint's better latter-day efforts. Looking forward to seeing your reactions to some of his other films.

[@Chamomileable]

Clint's directorial abilities are very underrated mostly because of how known he is as an actor. His stories rarely have happy endings or involve people with conventional morals, but he draws a raw humanity out of his actors that makes what you see bypass your mind and go straight to the heart.

[@cliffchristie5865]

Quite a powerful film and you were bound to respond to it the way audiences everywhere did. Parenthetically, I think this was the first film I worked on as an extra - I even spotted myself as one of the ringside judges at the title fight. And through working on four more Eastwood films discovered he's a very economical director, wasting no time and often getting exactly what he wanted in one or two takes.

[@DaSaltyCracka]

This movie made me love Clint Eastwood as an actor and even more as a director. Thank you for this reaction Mary. ❤ For more of the Eastwood/Freeman tandem, you must see Unforgiven.

[@stevenspringer1599]

I've been watching Clint since 'Rawhide' and I think this is his dramatic masterpiece. 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' is still my favorite of his but this technically excellent production had more emotional impact than any of his others.

[@cristhianbecerra5458]

Seeing Mary laughing at the first quarter of the video not knowing what's coming is funny 🤭

[@fntmwulf8760]

I remember the first time I watched this film... And DAMN.!!! I was hit by a roller coaster 🎢 of emotions that truly overwhelmed me ... the acting by all the main characters was superb... Hilary Swank played Maggie better than anyone ever could... And watching u react knowing the sadness that was yet to be experienced by u brought all that back for me ... This film was truly a masterpiece... Hilary Swank is 1 Damn fine actress

[@PaulC-Drums]

I remember all my feelings I had when I first watched this movie. That piece of music, the main theme done on the piano when the credits roll, killed me. It summed up the film so well. The perfect melancholy that works when something is simple but very true. Glad Mary enjoyed it.

[@gsf23]

This is on a short list of movies that I am only every watching once because of just how emotionally draining they are. Pay It Forward is another just utterly heart-breaking film that I would never be able to get through again.

Good job on getting thru this one Mary. This movie BROKE ME ALL THE WAY DOWN, I mean literally, it f##ked me up good. I cried for days thinking about this movie and it took a long time to get this damn movie out of my system, even thou it stayed with me forever. It was hard for me to watch this reaction with you but I felt it was something I needed to do at this point in my life. Still so thought provoking and heart breaking to watch but I get a better understanding of it now in my older years. Truly deserved all the awards it won and then some, a true masterpiece of film making. Great reaction to a great film, well done.

[@queegs73]

Thank you for reacting to this video. I think you’re the first to react to this movie. A very heavy movie. This movie doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. An inspirational beginning but a gut wrenching conclusion. Really makes you think about the morale dilemma at the end. The end scene at the restaurant and the fogged out windows but you can make out and elderly person eating (a piece of pie perhaps?) was a sad poignant ending.

[@The-Underbaker]

"This movie took a turn" was exactly my feeling when I first watched this. All I knew about the movie was that it starred Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank and that it was about a female boxer. I thought it was going to be a female Rocky movie but I was certainly wrong!

[@williamlarson8589]

Thank you, Mary, for watching this film. Your reaction is priceless, and I hold it in my heart that you understand the beauty of this movie. Bless you and your understanding, you are so special among the KZbin reactors.

When this came out nobody knew what was going to happen. I remember thinking oh she'll have to fight hard and come back from the injury. It caused quite a stir and conversation about euthanasia. Not to mention the commentary about how horrible her family was.

[@Faraboutthemind]

I highly recommend Warrior (2011), not an Eastwood flick, but it's as emotionally impactful and features great performances by the cast (specifically Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte). I think you'll love it.

"My darling, my blood." - One of my favorite moments in all of cinema. Clint is my favorite director next to Christopher Nolan. You've got 2 great ones done and I think Flags of our Fathers is his other masterpiece. I loved it so much that I devoured the book it was based on.

[@amberjavadi4643]

Oh my what u was saying right at the end of Ur video made me cry very emotional . Great film .

[@michaelm6948]

Clint has been with me as an actor, as a little kid I first saw him in 1966 on Rawhide reruns on TV. He's been with me as a director since 1971 with his first direction, Play Misty for Me. He's been a presence my entire life, and I was aware of him each step of the way. His films have always meant so much. I adore the man! (Imagine, he completed this movie in 37 days!)

[@erivera700]

I saw this at a movie theatre when it came out. I almost didn't go because I thought 'Shit... Clint Eastwood has SOLD OUT, and has done a FEEL GOOD GIRL BOXING MOVIE!', but... HOLY SHIT! That was the single greatest TWIST I have ever seen in a movie! This film deserved the OSCAR it got for BEST PICTURE that year... AMAZING!!

[@_ThinAir_]

Hillary also played a lead in amazing Boys don`t cry. Million dollar baby is definitely one of a greatest Clint Eastwood movies for me.

[@GreenJeepAdventures]

I went to see Clint's directing resume, thinking it would have encompassed the later part of his career. But I was shocked that he started in '71 with "Play Misty for Me," at that he is actually one of the more prolific ones. My favorite one is "Unforgiven," which is a very subdued movie-almost novel like, which is fitting, as the Western genre was originally explored on the written page.

[@marcusbetancourt3760]

Great show. I really enjoyed watching it once again. If you haven't already seen these other four movies with Clint Eastwood please watch them. I'm sure that you will be glad that you did. "The Beguiled", "Play Misty for Me", "Dirty Harry" and "The Gauntlet". Have a Blessed Day. Goodbye.

[@benlewis1927]

The “Dirty Harry” series starring a younger Clint Eastwood is well worth the watch. Another great movie of his is “Heartbreak Ridge”.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hi Mary Cherry, this is the last movie that I saw in a theater. I liked your reaction. I almost switched channels before the last half. I glad I stayed with you. It hurt to see you get hurt one after the other of the events. Your reaction was worth it. I own this movie but hardly watch it. It seems the laptop I have doesn't like dvd movies anyways. A long time ago, Clint Eastwood made " Kelly's Heroes ". All but a very few of the " Heroes " are still living. I hope that you will watch it before they all have passed away. I know they will like seeing your reaction should you like the movie. Thank you.

I remember when this came out I was reluctan to see it, I beleaved it was just a "female Rocky" story and for the first while it kindof was but it was actually better, but hen well the twist is one of the most hauting moments in cinema history for me. I held out hope that he was coming back from the injury right up until they took her leg, its a story about horrible stuff but I've watched it many times and it hurts everytime but it's worth it 100%

Hilary won her second Best Actress Oscar for this film. She won her first for my friend Kimberly's film BOYS DON'T CRY, which you should see as well.

[@spikeysnack]

Boys Don't Cry is hard to take -- but probably the best movie ever about the struggle of trans people to get by in a world scared of anything different. Of course it shadows the real-life story of Mathew Sheppard, but still hits you in the heart. Totally worth a watch and a cry.

1) Someone probably has mentioned this already, but Hilary Swank's breakout movie is the 1999 film "Boy's Don't Cry" for which she won an Oscar/Academy Award. It's based on a true story and very thought provoking. 2) If you want to see another Clint Eastwood film that won a Best Picture Oscar and he won an Oscar for Best Director, see his western film "Unforgiven". He also acts in in along with Morgan Freeman; Gene Hackman won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. NOTE: Both of these films were selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"

Fantastic, i would say, kind of "old style" (no CGI, effects, just a story, great acting etc. :) ) movie. It should receive so much more attention. Truly great movie (with that mind-blowing "twist" you really don't expect as viewer - it makes this movie soo deep).
