Today i watched a movie called cinderella man at PVR gurgaon...a well made movie..i did like it...The story line is good...everything is so perfect about this movie...the last boxing scene made me hold my hands tightly for the result...such a nice flick...recommend all to see this...in between its slow..but gradually picks up and covers it up...by the way Russel crowe was wonderful and has acted well.
Well this movie is based on a true story, the story of a boxer James Braddock: A man's extraordinary fight to save the family he loved
Born Dec. 6, 1905 in New York CIty
Died Nov. 29, 1974 in North Bergen,N.J.
In 1935, he defeated Max Baer in 15 rounds to become heavyweight champion. Braddock, who was an 11-2 underdog before the fight, was responsible for one of boxing's greatest upsets. His reign wasn't long, however; he lost the title to Joe Louis in 1937.
Summary: Dont read if u havent watched the movie
During the Great Depression, a common-man hero, James J. Braddock--a.k.a. the Cinderella Man--was to become one of the most surprising sports legends in history. By the early 1930s, the impoverished ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down, beaten-up and out-of-luck as much of the rest of the American populace who had hit rock bottom.
His career appeared to be finished, he was unable to pay the bills, the only thing that mattered to him--his family--was in danger, and he was even forced to go on Public Relief. But deep inside, Jim Braddock never relinquished his determination. Driven by love, honor and an incredible dose of grit, he willed an impossible dream to come true. In a last-chance bid to help his family, Braddock returned to the ring. No one thought he had a shot. However Braddock, fueled by something beyond mere competition, kept winning. Suddenly, the ordinary working man became the mythic athlete. Carrying the hopes and dreams of the disenfranchised on his shoulders, Braddock rocketed through the ranks, until this underdog chose to do the unthinkable: take on the heavyweight champ of the world, the unstoppable Max Baer, renowned for having killed two men in the ring.
His wife (Renee Zellweger) would prefer he quit boxing, but knows how badly they need the money to get by with their three kids. His amazing comeback becomes the source of inspiration of many down-on-their-luck Americans.
