1. I thought Cinderella Man was an adequate movie. I am personally not a fan of boxing, but I thought this movie was a good take on an interesting boxer. Cinderella Man is an inspirational movie about James Braddock, a legendary boxer. I find it very amusing that this film was based on a real story and how James Braddock, an ordinary boxer, overcame obstacles and became a rememberable boxer. The actual boxing fights were interesting to watch, but seemed excessive and exaggerated. I also wish the ending was done differently because in my opinion, the movie ends too quickly right after the last fight. I just felt like there was more to the end of the film and his career in general. Overall, this is my favorite boxing film by far, but when compared to other sports film I have seen, I only consider it only "okay".
2. A Cinderella man is someone who enjoys a quick rise to greatness. Braddock is a great example of someone who became great under difficult circumstances and pressure. Braddock's career was almost finished until he found something deep inside and persevered to become a heavyweight champion.
3. I believe Braddock was doing all he could to take care of his family, regardless if he stole food. Braddock had to take extreme measures to ensure his family survived and had a meal to eat. Under these circumstances, what Braddock did can be justified. Personally, I would do whatever I had to, to ensure that my family had a meal to eat, even if that meant resorting to illegal activities.
