James J. Braddock - Cinderella Man
It's been a while since I last wrote anything about movies in here. (And well yes I couldn't update my "watched" list on the right hand... Anyway, I keep on watching anyway. Last night I watched Ron Howard's Cinderella man with great performances of Russell Crowe, Renée Zellweger and Paul Giamatti.
Then when I searched I found James J. Braddock's official web site, surprisingly I found the web site satisfactory with the story of the man and lots of original photos of Braddock and his family. (So check out his gallery to see if Crowe and Zelweger are right choices for the cast ;)
In the middle of the Great Depression, when an America in the grips of a devastating economic downturn was nearly brought to its knees, there came along a most unlikely hero who had crowds cheering on their feet-as he proved just how hard a man would fight to win a second chance for his family and himself.
