Cinderella Man

Coming into this film I had no idea of what the story was. I have always enjoyed history and big events of history but I never heard of the story of James J Braddock (Cinderella man). This movie was a great visual representation of a hard time in American history in the early 1930's in the time of the Great Depression, it is amazing seeing the journey of a professional boxer that is paid handsomely and when the depression strikes he looses his career and begs for a job at the harbor gates. Life for everyone was tough during the depression and the film really showed how much suffering people went through and how they would have to send their kids away because they could not support them to keep on living. Braddock got a second chance and was lucky to get it in such hard times and throughout his second chance people started doing better economically as the time of the great depression began to lift and people enjoyed life once again.
