Best sports movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2006)

Hollywood has shown it's true colors. By not even nominating the movie that should have been the best picture of the year, we can really see that it's all politics. This movie was so unbelievably good, the acting was more than first rate, everyone in it should have won academy awards! Watching this movie, you really see what it was like to live during the depression, but you see the determination of this boxer, and the love he and his family members had for each other. It's a real feel-good movie, whether you like boxing or not (and I never did before.) There isn't a moment in the movie where my attention wasn't held. I couldn't turn away for a second. It made me want to watch it again as soon as it was over! The only thing I didn't like is that it makes Max Baer out to be a monster, and I know from older people who actually lived through this time and followed his career, that he wasn't. But that was it, the only thing about the movie that wasn't good. It was absolutely the best, and I would recommend it to anyone.
