Hi guys, I am sorry for making this blog inactive for the past few months. As i’ve said, I have been very busy with my career. The more it is when I finally have a new boyfriend. Hehehehehe… I went to their boarding house last week. We’ve already decided to spend time with each other only on weekends because we both have careers to take care of and of course our responsibilities with our families. We’re both breadwinners by the way. When I am there, I usually bring food. I love it when we will eat together, watch movies together and more importantly sleep together. (Hehehehe.. naughty me)..
Anyways, since this is a movie blog I am sharing to you one of the movies we’ve watched on Cable. It is entitled Cinderella Man. Main characters are Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger, Paul Giamatti and Craig Bierko. Just from the title itself one can say that it is really related to the story of Cinderella but there’s a difference of course. He is a guy, this is a true story showing what he had been through in life more importantly on his career as a boxer.
Here is the plot summary:
During the Great Depression, a common-man hero, James J. Braddock–a.k.a. the Cinderella Man–was to become one of the most surprising sports legends in history. By the early 1930s, the impoverished ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down, beaten-up and out-of-luck as much of the rest of the American populace who had hit rock bottom. His career appeared to be finished, he was unable to pay the bills, the only thing that mattered to him–his family–was in danger, and he was even forced to go on Public Relief. But deep inside, Jim Braddock never relinquished his determination. Driven by love, honor and an incredible dose of grit, he willed an impossible dream to come true. In a last-chance bid to help his family, Braddock returned to the ring. No one thought he had a shot. However Braddock, fueled by something beyond mere competition, kept winning. Suddenly, the ordinary working man became the mythic athlete. Carrying the hopes and dreams of the disenfranchised on his shoulders, Braddock rocketed through the ranks, until this underdog chose to do the unthinkable: take on the heavyweight champ of the world, the unstoppable Max Baer, renowned for having killed two men in the ring.
