Good movie

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2005)

This movie was so good. I had no idea that Max Bear was so mean and liked to kill people. I am glad the Ron Howard portrayed Max Bear as the evil beast he is. There is no better fighter than John Braddock. Russell Crowe is good. Russell Crowe, as always, delivered the goods. There are few Russell Crowes in this world. Russell Crowe can really fight!! I liked that part when Russell Crowe was almost challenged to a fight with Mike in the street. Russell Crowe should do more of these kinds of movies. Russell Crowe and Ron Howard and the John Wayne and Jack Ford of this century.
Rush said it best:
A modest man from Mandrake Travelled rich to the city He had a need to discover A use for his newly-found wealth
Because he was human Because he had goodness Because he was moral They called him insane Delusions of grandeur Visions of splendor A manic depressive He walks in the rain
Eyes wide open Heart undefended Innocence untarnished...
Cinderella Man Doing what you can They can't understand What it means Cinderella Man Hang on to your plans Try as they might They cannot steal your dreams
In the betrayal of his love he awakened To face a world of cold reality And a look in the eyes of the hungry Awakened him to what he could do
He held up his riches To challenge the hungry Purposeful motion For one so insane They tried to fight him Just couldn't beat him This manic depressive Who walks in the rain
