  • Million Dollar Baby"
    2020 International Conference on Economics, Education and Social Research (ICEESR 2020) Appreciate the Shaping of Female Images in Sports Films Based on the "Million Dollar Baby" Du Huanran Macau University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Humanities and Arts Macau 999078 China Keywords: Sports film; "Million Dollar Baby"; Female images; Shaping Abstract: Typical characters are indispensable aesthetic elements in film and television texts. The persistent and tough-girl image makes the movie "Million Dollar Baby" win the 77th Academy Award for Best Picture. The warm story between Maggie and Frankie is different from the general sports film, but interprets a new type of teacher-student relationship. As the director of the film said, "This is not a real boxing story, but a story about love. An old man, devastated by the loss of his father-daughter relationship, finds a young girl who makes him feel like a father again". Maggie's appearance broke the perfect female image in the traditional American film and overturned the weak appearance of women. The confidence and persistence revealed between Maggie's words and deeds won the unanimous praise of the audience, thus making an excellent sports film. 1. Introduction The Oscar-winning movie, "Million Dollar Baby", has been labelled "sports film", "violence", "inspirational", "love" and "chasing dreams". The film expresses multi-level and multi-faceted contents, including sports competition, belief, dignity, dream, family affection, friendship and other diversified contents. The main line of the story tells the story of Maggie, a young female boxer in her early 30s, who overcomes many difficulties and obstacles, realizes her boxing dream with the careful guidance of the coach Frankie and her own talent and continuous efforts, but finally chooses the euthanasia due to the serious injury [1].

  • Fighters and Fathers: Managing Masculinity in Contemporary Boxing Cinema
    Fighters and Fathers: Managing Masculinity in Contemporary Boxing Cinema JOSH SOPIARZ In Antoine Fuqua’s film Southpaw (2015), just as Jake Gyllenhaal’s character Billy Hope attempts suicide by crashing his luxury sedan into a tree in the front yard, his ten-year-old daughter, Leila, sends him a text message asking: “Daddy. Where are you?” (00:46:04). Her answer comes seconds later when, upon hearing a crash, she finds her father in a heap concussed and bleeding badly on the white marble floor of their home’s entryway. Upon waking, Billy’s first and only concern is Leila. Hospital workers, in an effort to calm him, tell Billy that Leila is safe “with child services” (00:48:08-00:48:10) This news does not comfort Billy. Instead, upon learning that Leila is in the state’s custody, the former light heavyweight champion of the world, with face bloodied and muscles rippling, makes his most concerted effort to get up and leave—presumably, to find his daughter. Before he can rise, however, a doctor administers a large dose of sedative and the heretofore unrestrainable Billy fades into unconsciousness as the scene ends. Leila’s simple question—“Daddy. Where are you?”—is central not only to Southpaw but is also relevant for most major boxing films of the 21st century.1 This includes Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby (2004), David O. Russell’s The Fighter (2010), Ryan Coogler’s Creed (2015), Jonathan Jakubowic’s Hands of Stone (2016), and Stephen Caple, Jr.’s Creed II (2018). These films establish fighter/trainer relationships as alternatives to otherwise biological or “traditional” father/son relationships.

  • May 1, 2020 Grace and Peace to You, Scattered Saints of FPC, As We
    May 1, 2020 Grace and peace to you, scattered saints of FPC, As we enter Week 7 of our Covid Quarantine, the word of the week around our house is food. Food has become our most frequent topic of conversation. “What shall I make for dinner? What do we have? Let’s find a new recipe. What do we need? How can we get it? Where shall we shop? What time shall we go? What restaurants wear masks and glove and practice social distancing for takeout -- and how far ahead do we need to order if we want to eat before 10:00? How can I avoid chocolate? (answer: by grabbing the popcorn. Excuse me a minute, I’ll be right back…) Food. It’s what we are all thinking about, we suspect. John Krasinski was thinking about food on this week’s episode of SGN, “Some Good News” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1zIgTwENPg ). And when we aren’t thinking about our own food, many of us are thinking about neighbors who don’t have the choices and resources to get food that we do. Or the workers in the food chain who labor night and day to keep us supplied with food. Or the ministries which strain to offer food to hungry folks under strange constraints: if you have a hankering for a miracle, look into stories of the efforts in every part of the world to bring food to hungry strangers. Here is news from Dr. Reeta and Hari Rao, our mission partners in SNEHA mission in Dehradun, India: Over the last few weeks, SNEHA has actively involved in distributing basic food necessities (Rice, Lentils, Flour, Cooking Oil, Salt, Potatoes, Soya), to more than 550 adults & children through our personal contribution as a family.

    screenwritersmonthly.com | Screenwriter’s Monthly Give ‘em some credit! Johnny Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is amazing. As film critic after film critic stumbled over Screenwriter’s Monthly can be found themselves to call his performance everything from "original" to at the following fine locations: "eccentric," they forgot one thing: the screenwriters, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who did one heck of a job creating Sparrow on paper first. Sure, some critics mentioned the writers when they declared the film "cliché" and attacked it. Since the previous Walt Disney Los Angeles film based on one of its theme park attractions was the unbear- able The Country Bears, Pirates of the Caribbean is surprisingly Above The Fold 370 N.

Recently the USA Today ran an article asking, basically, “What’s wrong with Hollywood?” Blockbusters are failing because Above The Fold 1257 3rd St. Promenade Santa Monica, CA attendance is down 3.3% from last year.
