I 've been touched with the movie "Cinderella Man". Braddock's life is an example for nowdays. Fight, fight and fight. Never give up.

Inspirational, a man to be admired. After watching the film Cinderella Man, I had to find out more about James J Braddock. A man who's story I will never forget.

I loved the movie Cinderella Man and I thought that it was very educational and entertaining. I think that James J. Braddock was a wonderful man and that this world Would be a whole lot better if most of us were like him today.

the movie was a very good movie and it was inspiring to see what jim Braddock went through to only come out on top. the movie was good but after visiting this site i dont think that it does Jim Braddock justice to the person he was

This is by far the best movie I have ever seen. I am truly inspired by this movie. James Braddock was an incredible man and a true hero to his fans and especially to his family. Just like Braddock, always keep your head up, never give up, and keep on fighting.

Just watched the film .........What an inspiration to people to never loose sight of your dreams and hopes and just go out there and make them come true. James J. you were a remarkable and good man !

After watchinzg the film Cindarella Man we thought that James Braadock is a caring and compassionate man.

I watched the movie "Cinderella Man" in my class History through Film. I thought he was very courageous and did a lot to get his family out of such a rough time. Eventually he beat Max Baer to become the new Heavy Weight Champion and inspired many Americans to get out of their debt in the Great Depression.

When I first saw the film, Cinderella Man, it got me to think about to how bad life was back then. In the film, James J. Braddock had a terrible life after he broke his hand. His luck was all changed when Joe Gould came to offer him a fight for 250 dollars. It was because of this fight that James J. Braddock's life was changed. This film inspired me to do my best even in the worst of times.

Wil and I enjoyed this movie. We like boxing and boxing movies. Also, we liked how James beat the odds and became a real cinderella man. This movie showed greatly how Americans suffered through the Great Depression and how people's lifestyles changed because of it. James J Braddock is a great inspiration.

I have just watched the movie Cinderalla Man. When I watched this I was amazed with the amount of courage that James had to start a career of boxing. I was inspired when he faced his opponents with a lot of courage and never was afraid. Watching this movie inspired me to face my fears and become more brave.

Hi, I am a Grand Avenue Middle School student and I saw the movie "Cinderella Man". I liked it alot and it was my favorite movie we watched in History - Film so far. I would be proud of my grandpa if he fought while in the depression and beat Max Baer.

I am in 8th grade and I am currently taking a class called History-Film. In this class we watched Cinderella Man. I really enjoyed this movie, it was my favorite in this class so far. I liked this movie because it was a true story and it really showed what it was like to live in the 1930's. I can't believe how so many people lost their money. I was amazed by how desperate James Braddock was to get money for his family and to keep them healthy. I can't believe how good he was at boxing after not boxing for so long. Mae was also a great person, she was very caring, and even though it may be a tough decision she always knew what was best for her family. I think this movie was one of the best that I have seen.

For the past few weeks, in our History through Film class, we've been watching the movie Cinderella Man. We thought it was an amazing movie because it was very inspirational. It showed that you can't give up when times are hard. James J. Braddock showed courage, determination and compassion for his family, friends and neighbors. He showed America that even in the worst of times there is hope. No matter what hardships he went through, he always pulled through, and thats how he became the Heavyweight Champion of the world. James J. Braddock was an amazing father, husband, boxer and person, and thats why he inspired thousands of people to try harder and be successful during the Great Depression.

We had seen the movie Cinderella Man, which was about your hard times in life and how you prevailed over many obstacles. Your bravery in risking your life for the ones you love has been very inspirational. We have seen how you were believed to be "fighting for the people" and how many prayed for you in your fight against Max Baer. I admire your courage through facing many mental and physical challenges. Because of your story, you have inspired me to go against my fears and for that I thank you.

Hi, my name is Matt and my name is Joe and we have finished watching Cinderella Man in school. I think that even though Jim was down on his luck, he was able to make a bounce back. It is amazing that he went from being poor to being heavyweight champion. The story of Jim Braddock is heatwarming and has a happy ending.

Hi. I am a student at Grand Avenue Middle School. I have recently watched "Cinderella Man" in my History Through Film class. I thought this movie was awesome. I liked the part when you defeated Max Baer and when you became the heavy weight champion. With you in this movie it was like you can't wait to see what was going to happen next. Overall this movie was a thumbs up!

I just watched the movie Cinderella Man. I loved it. It is my favorite movie of all times. It was so good that I
keep on watching it. James was a good man and nevr gave up. He would keep on fighting and never give up. If he was still alive and boxing I would go and see every one of his matches. Did his kids box like their dad? I admire how he made it through his hard times, trying to keep his kids and never giving up.

The movie Cinderella Man was really good and we enjoyed watching it and we thought that John Braddock was a good person.=]

Sir - this is a wonderful site, full of nostalgia, but not sentimentalised at all. Thank you for enlightening us all on the life and times of a great family man, an inspiration to all.

His life is a lesson we can all learn from... stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

A man that would do what it takes to win, has alot of class how he fought his way to the top to feed his kids and loved ones. What I liked best was when he repaid the relief fund back that showed alot of courage and heart
