About the "over-emotional" character of the movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2009)

I'm not going to comment about the movie itself, i think it has been said enough, also the revenues, the critics' reviews and the number of people who went to see the movies in cinemas says all about the quality of this beautiful movie. I can't agree with those who complain about the fact that this film was "over-emotional". If the life of a man who got from working on the docks and not being able sometimes to provide food for his children to winning the heavyweight crown doesn't strike you as extraordinarily emotional, then you must be as sensitive as a kitchen knife. Come on, dudes, this was the only way to put Braddock's life on camera on a realistic way.
