Bring on the tough stuff. There’s not just one right answer.
- Why is Maggie so crazy about boxing? How would the story change if Maggie's sport of choice wasn't boxing?
- How would you describe Frankie's relationship with God? What do you think he's praying for at all of those services he attends?
- Some critics' reviews of Million Dollar Baby were colored by their personal feelings on assisted suicide. Is that responsible criticism? What's the purpose of art?
- Why does Frankie finally give in and work with Maggie?
- Is Scrap a wizard? Seriously; how does he manage to always be in the right place at the right time? Does it make sense, or is it distracting?
- Where do you think Frankie is, soul-wise, at the end of the movie? Did he lose it, like Father Horvak said? Did he find peace? Lemon pie?
- How does the movie use boxing as a metaphor for life?
- Is Father Horvak a good priest? Does he have more of a duty to his faith or his faithful (Like Frankie)?
- Million Dollar Baby's monstrous plot twist ignited controversy when some critics chose to reveal it in their reviews. Is it ever okay for a critic to spoil a movie in their review?
- If Maggie asked you to do what she asked Frankie to do, what would you do?
