I saw this movie this week and can't stop thinking about it. It was tragic, inspiring, sickening, well acted, well directed, and I haven't stopped thinking about since Tuesday. Anyone else see it?

No.

Happy or sad ending?

Ugh. Thought provoking and sad!

Yes! I saw it the day it opened here and again since then. I don't think anyone should give anything away about it - that's probably the best way to see it. I wasn't sure what to expect, though I'd heard many times "It's not a boxing movie." I don't know the best way to explain it. It's not a movie about boxing, but about the people involved in boxing.

It's a very moving picture, and I felt a lot of intense emotion throughout - happiness, grief, repulsion, excitement. It's a real movie about real people, and it really stands up to the hype. Best film of the year if you ask me and, indeed, the best movie in a few years. If I had my way, it'd win Oscars for picture, director, actress, supporting actor and writing. As much as I loved Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry, she was even better in this film. It's also the best role Morgan Freeman's had the opportunity to play in a long while. He's overdue for his award.

Don't give away the ending!

I agree about not telling too much. I don't think I could see it twice though. Did your opinion change after the second time? I agree that it is the best picture. Before seeing it I was leaning towards Sideways. But this movie has more substance.

No, and in fact, it strengthened my opinion. There were a few things I caught that I didn't notice the first time. I'll org note you one in particular.

Please do. Even the comic relief of the Danger character was destroyed in a tough manner.
