-Blu-ray Feature Presentation
-Two New Features Introduced In this 10th Anniversary Edition:
•Million Dollar Baby: On the Ropes (1080p; 1.78:1; 26:04): In this retrospective documentary, Producer Albert Ruddy, screenwriter Paul Haggis, Producer & Star Clint Eastwood, Stars Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman and producer Tom Rosenberg recall the experience of making "Million Dollar Baby."
•Commentary with Producer Albert Ruddy: After some initial words on the difficulty of getting the film made (a subject addressed in more detail in the "On the Ropes" documentary), Ruddy settles into an enthusiastic explication of the film's action. He is the film's ultimate fan, analyzing the characters' motivations, discussing the world of boxing, and praising the quality of the performances and the general excellence of the work.
Features Held Over From the Previous Blu-ray Release:
-"Takes on Three" (480p, 24:45). This is a candid discussion between Oscar winners Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Hillary Swank with James Lipton, host of the television series "Inside the Actor's Studio." The questions are direct and definitely not of the variety we generally see where the interviewer throws the cast and crew softballs to be hit out of the park. These questions are genuine and sometimes hard, a breath of fresh air in a world of pre-fabricated and generic making-of pieces.
-Born to Fight (480p, 19:13), a lesser piece that looks at the world of boxing and why people around the globe are drawn to the sport with the primary cast discussing the topic at hand and how it integrates into the film
-Producers Round 15 (480p, 13:05), an interesting and captivating look at the origins and development of Million Dollar Baby from conception to script to shooting to its release to critical acclaim. |
