Million Dollar Baby

Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Ending / spoiler

(5 votes)

Maggie becomes paralysed at the big fight. She loses a leg to bedsores, and then asks Frankie to end her life. He hesitates because of his faith and she tries to do it by biting her tongue. He then decides to do it by unplugging her breathing machine and then injecting adrenaline into her IV. After this Morgan Freeman tells Frankie's daughter in a letter (which was also the films narration) that he never saw Frankie again. And the last shot is of Frankie in the diner we saw earlier in the film.

Continuity mistake: When Maggie is talking to Frankie in the gym bleachers, discussing Frankie's daughter, Maggie's ponytail keeps shifting from behind her back, to over her shoulder, and back again.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Boxing is an unnatural act. Cos everything in it is backwards. You wanna move to the left, you don't step left, you push on the right toe. To move right, you use your left toe. Instead of running from the pain - like a sane person would do, you step into it.
