I think I must have a defective gene that makes me look at spoilers. Why, oh why couldn't it have malfunctioned in this instance? Of all the interviews, previews, etc. I've seen, not one gave me an inkling of this happening in the movie. Now I have to bite my tongue so as not to blow it for Hubby.
I've been under the impression that this film is about overcoming adversity and reaching for your dreams (which is obviously a theme in the movie). Yeah, the whole "Rocky" thing, and even though I don't really care for boxing movies, I was looking forward to seeing it because I love just about anything Clint does. I still want to see it, just kicking myself for reading beyond the spoiler warning. That twist also doesn't seem to mesh with the impressions I've gotten from interviews about the spunk and drive of Hillary Swanks character. It seems to me she would be one to push through the injury and persevere, not want to kill herself. I'll just have to see it though to understand I suppose.
