I just got back from seeing the movie Cinderella Man. I had heard good things about this movie, but it far surpassed any expectations I had. I mean, who would’ve thought a movie centered around two men hitting each other could say so much about people in general. Of course, it’s not actually about the boxing. It’s about the strength of the human spirit; it’s about family relationships; it’s about succeeding in the world against all odds. It’s about a family fighting to survive the Great Depression. Saying that Cinderella Man is just a movie about boxing is like saying Seabiscuit was just another movie about a horse. In fact, Cinderella Man and Seabiscuit ought to be sold as a set. If you’ve seen one, that’ll tell you something about the other. If you haven’t seen either, you will need to fix that. And I will help you. ;)
I guess I really don’t have anything else to say tonight, I just wanted to put in a plug for an awesome movie.
