Talk:Cinderella Man

message: First of all, the fight between Baer and Braddock was not a "foregone" conclusion. It was Braddock who had the broken hand, not Baer. I removed that sentence.
Second, here is one of the stated reasons for why it the movie didn't do well at the box office: "During the morning of June 6, 2005, Russell Crowe, the lead actor of Cinderella Man, threw a telephone at a clerk at the Mercer Hotel in New York during a dispute. The attack left the hotel employee injured and dealt a blow to both Crowe's and Cinderella Man’s public image, thanks to negative publicity by the entertainment media and the hotel employees' union."
C'mon, are people really cancelling plans to go to the movies because of this? "I don't think I want to see the movie after all, honey. Russell Crowe threw a phone at somebody." Aplomado 01:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A couple things... 

message: There are a couple of phrases in the article that I found confusing, and I suspect could be revised for better clarity, especially considering the international readership of Wikipedia.
Under "Reaction", it is stated:  "...as international releases will then be gravy." and, under "Depiction of Max Baer": "...the fact that he gave purses from his bouts to Campbell's family.".
The first is, I'm sure, a colloquiallism that I'm not too familiar with, so I can't directly translate myself, and the second seems unclear.'Purse' can mean money, I understand, but is much more strongly associated with either a container for money, or a certain type of bag. If Baer gave money from his career to the Campbell family, it would be easier if the article stated so. 
If anyone more informed could rewrite these two phrases, I think the article's clarity might benefit.Chrisbang 23:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

message: In the plot section, I added a parenthetical mention that the movie demonizes Max Baer, but one of us should move it or add more about that inaccuracy into the "reception" section. The inaccuracy was widely covered at the time of the film's release and it's easily found online.David Couch (talk) 19:22, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
