The Christmas film release, Million Dollar Baby, starring Clint Eastwood and lauded by critics as a “love story” — as a ploy to ensnare unsuspecting viewers — is, in fact, a film championing assisted suicide.
The film is about Eastwood, as boxing manager Frankie Dunn, coaching boxing wannabe, 33-year-old Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank). The two fall in love, while Fitzgerald ascends her boxing career ladder.
In one fight, taking a dirty hit to the back of the head, Fitzgerald suffers an obviously severe injury. “Next scene: Maggie is hospitalized as a quadriplegic on a life-support respirator, with no hope of ever moving again, but with Dunn sitting faithfully by her side day after day, week after week — significantly missing the daily Mass he has attended for 23 years,” as described by NewsMax.com columnist Joan Swirsky. In the end, Eastwood's character ends Fitzgerald's life by lethal injection.
Swirsky summarizes that Million Dollar Baby is really, “a film about a failed Catholic who is such a moral weakling that he vanishes after he commits murder. A film that both Hollywood and the media have knowingly lied about in order to entice people into movie theaters so they can cringe at its unending blood and gore and experience not enlightenment but pity at the heroine's fate and disgust at her trainer's cowardice.”
The Catholic Tidings-Online critic Harry Forbes wrote: “What starts out as a formulaic, Rockyesque fight film takes a disturbingly downbeat turn, becoming a somber meditation on assisted suicide with a morally problematic ending which…will leave Catholic viewers emotionally against the ropes.”
“This is the Christmas 'gift' that the secularist, anti-Christian powers-that-be in Hollywood and the media decided to foist on the public during the Christmas holiday season!” Swirsky warns. “If you want to have a very Merry Christmas, miss this faulty-inspired hoax!”
