Comparative essay 1st paragraph
Martin Scorsese’s 1980 film Raging Bull and Clint Eastwood 2004 Million Dollar Baby are both distinctive boxing movies. I have chosen them as Raging Bull is a deconstruction of boxing movies, and arguably one of the most famous, and Million Dollar Baby is a reinvention of the genre and focuses on a female protagonist. Both films are American and address the topic of gender in boxing, however, in different ways. In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting how these films contribute to the evolution of the genre and its portrayal in gender.
question
To what extent do the films Raging Bull (1980) and Million-Dollar Baby (2004) demonstrate how the boxing sub-genre has evolved over time in its exploration of gender.
Million Dollar Baby 2004 Dir. Clint Eastwood
