Review of Cinderella Man (2005) by Monster . — 16 Aug 2009
An excellent movie, with emotions so strong as the punches Russell Crowe gets. I'm not a fan of boxing, but this movie got through me with all its soulfulness. A powerful, yet very sensible movie, inspired by a true story. Wonderfully played, great actors.
Jim Braddock: Max, my wife Mae.
Max Baer: You are far too pretty to be a widow.
Jim Braddock: That's not nice, Max. Not nice. Come on.
[starts to leave].
Max Baer: On second thought, maybe I can comfort you after he's gone.
Joe Gould: Hey, I said shut your goddamn mouth, you punk!
Mae Braddock: [Mae throws her drink in Max's face].
Jim Braddock: Sorry. Send me the cleaning bill.
Max Baer: Get that boys? Now he's got his wife doing his fighting for him!
Jim Braddock: Yeah.
[pause].
Jim Braddock: Ain't she something?
