Million Dollar Baby (Eastwood, 2004)

Million Dollar Baby brings an emotional twist to it, along with the usual boxing theme and conventions. The idea of an underdog building up through the ranks to the top, is an idea we can relate to, especially with the films good use of montage editing to portray the time difference, which we could integrate in to our sequence.Furthermore Million Dollar Baby approaches the sport genre from a slightly different angle using a woman as the main protagonist. In doing so it breaks the stereotypical mould of only male actors playing the main role in a boxing related film.
