Maggie, a 31 year old waitress, shows up in the gym Hit Pit to convince Frankie Dunn (a boxing trainer) to train her.
She is from a poor, lower class family but she has a great dream of making something of herself, and provide her family with all the comforts they never had.
Maggie is determined to her best, this is evident from the fact that in-spite of denying for training by Frankie she is back to the gym with all her enthusiasm and hopes.
She inspires the audience in many ways. The fact that her age doesn't matter (even after being 31) is just superb to see. The believe Maggie had in her BOSS, is the same what a child has for his father.
Now when she is nurtured by Frankie, she hit the spot in the very first time. She knocked out each and every contender who came in her way, except for the one who punched her even when the bell was called. And the slap of the fate was so hard that her neck was broken, leaving her a quadriplegic.
These are the lines which will explain what she was feeling at that time-
"i cannot be like this Frankie. Not after what I have done. I have seen the world. They chanted my name....... Don't let me lie here till I can't hear those people chanting no more"
Just after telling her the meaning of name he gave her, Fankie freed her from the infinite pain by giving a fatal injection of adrenaline.
The name was Mo Chuisle (spelled incorrectly in the film as "mo cuishle"): "my darling, and my blood"
P.S.
I saw this movie only because of Hillary's acting. She received many awards (Best Actress) for her performance as Maggie Fitzgerald
