          I am still amazed by Crowe's performance. Not just the boxing. Although his boxing was the BEST I've ever seen portrayed on film. A lot of ppl love Raging Bull, and I too like that movie, but the boxing was ridiculous and way over the top. It was the same in Rocky, although I loved it, the boxing was so unrealistic.........if ppl fought like that and got hit like that, half the matches would end in death.

          In "Cinderella Man", you would swear, although the matches were brutal (and they were far more brutal back then as they rarely stopped fights as fast as they do today), that you were watching something real. It was fantastic.

          As for the acting outside the ring? Well what can you say? Both Crowe and Giamatti will be up for Academy awards; its a certainty. Crowe may not win as he has won already, but Giamatti was over-looked for Sideways and others. He'll be nominated for Best Supporting Actor and may win. Too hard to say a win though as its early in the season.

          Geesh............classic and quality movies like Cinderella Man usually only come out in December. Lets hope this one is a summer sleeper box office hit. I can see it doing $200 Million domestically once word gets around how good it is.

            yep they sat and studied the boxing tapes for hours upon hours..but the training involved is ridiculous..not to mention the dedication..

            Acting in this case was not an easy task..he had to become the person in the movie!

              so you're with me when I say this will become an instant classic? It'll be interesting to watch how the word spreads on this one. if its anything like the audience's reaction in the theater when i went to the sneak preview, it'll be a sleeper hit.

                    lol thats EXACTLY what I did last Sunday when they had the sneak preview to Cinderella Man...........as much as I liked the SW3, it looked pretty lame following on the heels of watching Cinderella Man.

                    I hope other GFY'ers get as much out of CM as I got. Well worth the time. You'll get a lot of enjoyment going to both those flicks.

                            Excellent on every level

                              good to hear. it was fantastic!

                              This from freezedriedmovies.com:

                              "In one of the more pivotal scenes, the boxing commissioner notes, ?My heart is for my family ? my head and balls are for business.? And Braddock is a man who lives this credo to the limit ? watching him shelter his family with his kindness as he puts food on their table with his rage is more than inspiring ? it?s awesome. His rise to glory is entirely deserved and entirely unexpected by everyone around him ? a potent combination with a thrilling, gut-clenching payoff. I doubt we?ll see more invigorating, crowd-pleasing cinema this year."

                              __________________________________________________ _______


                              Amen to that brother.

                                    Was Russell Crowe good in it? Think he'll get a oscar nomination???

                                                yes he will. will he win? probably not as he has won already. the one who will likely win is paul giamatti for best supporting actor, as its well known he was stiffed by the academy for his role in "Sideways"........they'll make it up to him by perhaps giving him this year's best supporting actor award

                                                  because here's a man, Braddock, who rises from the ashes or cinders, like Cinderella, and resurrects his career and his life........but the question remains, will his carriage turn into a pumpkin and everything fall apart or will he continue to rise? so he mirrors the fairy tale Cinderella that way.......hence the name

                                                          the last one there's somewhat of a spoiler in it, movie clip-wise, so you may want to avoid it before going to the flick.
