6. (edited) pick: Best Picture
In addition to this year’s stable of sin-soaked pictures, there were also tails of heroism, inspiration and death-defying adventure. While the obvious favorite here, the Passion of the Christ, was cruelly left off the list, Swift did find one flick we’d give our right eye to see again: Ray. “If only Ray Charles had lived long enough to see this powerful portrayal of his life,” says Todd. Deanna calls the film inspirational, noting that “the movie shows that even if you are differently-abled, a drug addict, or just black, if you work hard enough, you too can overcome.”
A final note on Million Dollar Baby: while conservatives have blasted this film for sexing up euthanasia, (edit) was actually split on the flick. Todd enjoyed the fight sequences, especially the convincing portrayal of female German fighters as hardened, ruthless prostitutes, but felt the film gave enough mixed gender signals (notable example, the casting of Hilary "Boys Don't Cry" Swank) to warrant a thumbs-down. Deanna felt MDB gave a million-dollar lesson to feminists: if you can't survive in the ring, best stay to the kitchen.
