Creed?

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2018)

This movie was really good. I didn't get to watch the whole film but from the part that I saw (the end) I really enjoyed it. It's such a good story of the underdog making a comeback and taking everyone by surprise but it also really represents how the Great Depression took a toll on people. The movie shows Braddock's family go through the typical trials of the Great Depression and hitting rock bottom after all his success fails him, then we see his claim to fame and how all his friends and family rallied around him as he did so, however, it took a toll on his wife who didn't want him to fight in fear he would be killed during the championship match against Baer. I really liked the good feeling of the movie when the person everyone wants to win (the underdog) finally does, instead of dying. I don't like watching fighting but it's a key scene in this movie so I watched it anyways. I've seen a few movies by this director and I've loved them all, they're all very appealing and have good story lines. I would definitely watch more movies by this director.
