An extraordinary and triumphant masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2014)

Cinderella Man is the film that i consider to be Ron Howard's best work since that of A Beautiful Mind, 2 film starring Russell Crowe with him giving 2 masterful performances. The movie tells the inspiring and emotionally moving story of James Braddock (played by Russell Crowe) a washed up boxer whose family became poor at the time of the great depression and tried so hard to make his family rich again. Ron Howard does it again but not only with his 2 film collaborations with Russell Crowe but making extraordinary films out of them both. This is a boxing movie that hasn't inspired me as much both Rocky, and Million Dollar Baby inspired me.Also not only Crowe gives an excellent performance but and besides Renee Zelweger as his wife, but is Paul Giamatti's great supporting performance that made the film even more inspiring. This is a film that should have been on all film critics lists as one off 2005's greatest films.
