The film was spectacular

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2014)

Cinderella man, the title has a typical romance movie ring to it, but it's not. Cinderella man (played by Russell Crowe) is a story about the real life boxer James Braddock, and how he made his way from living in the poor neighborhoods with his kids and wife Mae Braddock (Played by Rene Zellweger), to being a famous boxer who has become an inspiration all over the world. The movie has done an excellent job at portraying feelings and emotions. Director Ron Howard and screenwriters Cliff Hollingsworth and Akiva Goldsman did and excellent job at including important history, keeping the audience on their toes and craving more. They captured the human journey by artistically expressing failure and hope. This is not your usual romance/drama movie, it had a great deal of love in it in another way. In my opinion, it was beautifully expressed.
The fact that this movie is based on true events is not groundbreaking, but using real life events is a splendid way of having an interesting movie plot and making the film important. It's sublime. Cinderella man takes us through all of the journeys, it makes us feel the rush at the boxing matches, the unconditional love when Mae and James show each other deep love. It makes us cry with happiness whenever the children feel joy and it makes us laugh with the characters whenever jokes are being made. The actors did a great job at the accents which made it more real. As I have expressed, the movie is filled with joyous moments but I would have wanted the movie to give some of the other characters more personal background. It would have created more pity, if you will, among the audience with some of the characters.
James Braddock, the Cinderella man. He is a hero to his children and his wife. The film was spectacular and I strongly suggest that everyone takes their time to watch it. It is amazingly inspirational and the story is telling everyone that no matter where you come from, how old or rich you are, you can make great success in life. This is an exceptional drama/romance movie.
