Million Dollar Baby

Please respond to at least one question below and reply to at least one other person's comments by Monday, May 21st.

We just finished watching Million Dollar Baby, starring Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Hillary Swank.  At the end of the movie, Frankie abides by Maggie's wish to help her die.  Did he make the right decision?  Why or why not?

Frankie goes to church every day, yet he doesn't exactly live the life of someone who is a practicing Catholic.  In what ways is religion a conflict and/or a comfort in his life?  Why do you think he goes to church every day?

Frankie and Maggie have a special relationship that changes throughout the movie.  What does each one get out of the relationship?
