Cinderella Man 4K 2005

This is a biographical film about the difficult life of the great boxer Jim Braddock, a film that evokes emotions and fully justifies its place in the drama genre. It's a good film.

The viewer is transported to the 1930s, a time known in the US as the Great Depression. We experience this period alongside the boxer Braddock and his family—his wife and three young children. Fate is fickle, and the characters' lives will change, but they will always believe in a bright future. They will always be together. Love and family triumph over suffering and hardship.

I was struck by Crowe, whom I always thought of as a good actor, but nothing more. In the scene where he asks his wealthy friends for money, his eyes shine with what he is feeling—humiliation, pain, because he was once like them. It takes skill to play that. And most importantly, he needs this money to pay for electricity and milk so he can bring his children back home. It's touching to the point of tears.

The scenes in the ring look very realistic, harsh, and dynamic.

Russell Crowe and Renée Zellweger, in my opinion, looked perfect in their roles. In principle, they made a good-looking couple, purely in terms of appearance. But beyond that, they didn't just become a photograph—a husband and wife. They managed to convey their feelings.

I admit, I was nervous, worried about the characters, and in the end, I experienced an unprecedented emotional uplift.

A powerful, life-affirming drama.
