Moving and Inspiring

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2006)

I had wanted to watch this film for a long a while and finally did last night. I loved it this film had a snowball effect it just got better and more moving and more inspiring as the film went on .
Russell Crowe turns in yet another great performance he always does,as a man who is courageous loving and humble plus a loving family man . Braddocks trainer is also performed brilliantly but the name of the actor escapes me I'm sorry . Renne Zellweeger is also very stoical as his loving devoted life .
I just really loved the way that this film did not pull punches it showed how Braddock fell but never gave up hope and belief in himself or his family . and then finally he begins his remarkable rise back to the top of his boxing profession . The final bout between Baer and Braddock was one of the best shot film fights I think I have ever seen to me the whole film was a sort of symphony with the final fight being a crescendo and what a crescendo I was moved to tears at the end.
A wonderful film
