Always Protect Yourself
A viewing of the film “Million Dollar Baby”; delving into thoughts on body limitations and the pursuit of perfection.
As Lennard Davis himself has written, “what is universal in life, if there are universals, is the experience of the limitations of the body”. Yet in films like Million Dollar Baby, and seemingly in every other ideological corner, we confront what Davis calls a “fantasy…of the perfection of the body and its activities”. We cannot step into this ring alone.
