A new Rocky for the ages!

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2006)

I wasn't really too interested in seeing Cinderella man, I'm not too into Russell Crowe movies, but my friend convinced me to take a peek at it and just give it a shot, so I figured why not? Over all, I'd have to say that I have to thank my friend tomorrow, because this was a wonderful and inspiring movie to go the distance.
Set during the depression, this movie takes a dark tone to the story, I think that's the thing about this movie that I loved and most others did too. Almost all of the people on IMDb have not lived during the depression, we know that they were hard times, and Cinderella man got to take a glimpse at what it was like to live back then. It was so touching to see this family struggle but stick together. I can't imagine what Renee's character was going through every night not knowing if her husband was going to come back alive or not.
This is a beautifully acted and sublimely directed filmed movie with magnificent sets and a terrific and inspiring story. I think anyone could get into this movie, even if you're not too into the boxing flicks, but believe me when I say if you enjoyed Rocky, there's no way in heck that you could not enjoy Cinderella Man, a new inspiring tale for generations to come.
10/10
