Determination and Integrity

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2005)

My fiancé and I both loved this movie. It's a great movie about hope, determination, love and supporting one's spouse, fighting for one's family, and INTEGRITY. Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger are convincing actors as they portray a couple living through the Great Depression, struggling to feed their three children. Russell Crowe, as Jimmy Braddock (Cinderella Man), beats all odds, including a broken wrist and broken a ribs and losing his boxing license, to make a phenomenal comeback, winning the title. Jimmy's integrity remains intact after he wins the title, as at the end of the movie viewers are informed that he served faithfully in the war, bought a home for his family in NJ, and then owned and operated machines where he used to work the few shifts he could get during the oppression.
