¿Question #5337?
ssmooth: Wasn't Million-Dollar Baby kind of incongruently reminiscent of The Shawshank Redemption because of the Morgan Freeman voiceover in both?

Woelf: Sure, go with that.
ocdspectrum: No. Not at all.
aleo09: nah
Randy Cox: What makes you think I've seen such a recent movie?
rseater: Someone will give me a million dollars for my baby??!?!?!?!
xofour: I think when you analyze the substructure of the poetic context and the actual accomodational parameters of the shawshank contract you will realize that i have not seen either one of these movies.
kathleenryan: Yes. Also "The Bucket List."
hob69: Wouldn't that make March of the Penguins reminiscent too?
2amp: never saw
PseudoPserious: No. Stop talking crazy.
KrisVerbeeck: No
albers: No
puffinge: yes, but only slightly
le_cygne: The real question is: why have you left out March of the Penguins?
DHEK: I haven't seen Million-Dollar Baby, so I don't know.
Penguin_Hatcher: WHOAH ive been talking about morgan freeman and the shawshank redemption lately (i thought it was a great movie) by asking questions abou it. havent seen million dollar baby, but he also narrarated march of the penguins to.
powwowdancer: I never really thought about it, even though I loved both movies.
Brentoon: funny you mention that, the whole while watching Million-Dollar baby I thought it was the EXACT same plotline as another movie Morgan Freeman narrated.....March of the Penguins! Can't he find a different type of story to narate?
onky: Yup.
Beyak: no
arkibet: no
bwildrick: Not especially.
MisterCranky: It was not incongruently reminiscent--it was just reminiscent.
ZiggyZambo: No
prolifekilledmywife: I thought that was Jamie Foxx.
dietevil: Didn't see MDB
vampywife: um, i'm not sure that's a good way to compare movies, but whatever works for you
FrozenHoHos: Interesting parallel.
scriptorum: No, merely sharing a voiceover by Morgan Freeman isn't enough for me to reminisce.
Helenoftroy: I never thought about it that way. They are vastly different though.
Stephen Glenn: Didn't notice
TheBoch: Never saw either movie so I don't know
brainrob: No
drsingle: Only saw Shawshank.
LemonyFresh: Not really
jellospike: I'm sick of Morgan Freeman always playing "wise old guy"! I hope in the next Batman, his character will become ROBIN!
chockle: ...like in the Penguin movie?
djlg: Nope.
Loquutus: MDB was every boxing cliche piled like a mound of elephant droppings. Did anyone not see the end coming halfway through the opening credits?
RoSKoMaNTe: no
darthcliff: Prison Movies = Boxing Movies = Yuck.
ssmooth: Yes. He does make a convincing "voice of reason," I must admit.
jttm: Nope.
skelebone: I don't know, because I haven't seen MDB.
Lord_Prussian: Haven't seen it yet, but that seems possible
chaddyboy_2000: Ummm, sure.
CDRodeffer: I haven't seen either.
