The movie is about a lady boxer who wants to be trained by a professional trainer. The trainer tells her that he doesn't trains girls. The movie is a good one which involves high class drama, ending is a bit weird, I do not like the ending somehow, but rest of the movie was good. The movie won 4 academy awards:Best Picture — Clint Eastwood, Albert S. Ruddy, Tom Rosenberg, Best Director — Clint Eastwood, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role — Hilary Swank and Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role — Morgan Freeman.
