Production and Highlights: This film is adapted from three short stories in the collection of boxing short stories: Monkey Watch, Million Dollars Baby and Frozen Water. The author f·x· Tourre has been engaged in the profession of "swordsman" for many years (a worker who handles injuries for boxers in time), and has experienced countless competitions and witnessed too many boxing matches. Paul haggis, a well-known screenwriter, took a fancy to this novel. He adapted the novel into a play and won the favor of Clint Eastwood.
Why does someone want to be a boxer, stand in the ring and wander back and forth between fighting and not fighting? At the beginning of training for this film, Hilary Swank finally found the answer to his question: "For Maggie, boxing is not only a way out, but also a hobby. I was born in a poor family, and I have been performing since I was 9 years old. This is what I love and what I want to do all my life. Maggie and I have a * * * sound. "
Hilary Swank gained 20 pounds in training. It took only 37 days to shoot the whole film. The shooting cost is only $654.38+0.8 million.
