Just watched Cinderella Man for the 2nd time. I' sure your family is very proud of yourb father/grandfather....you should be. If the movie is accurate you were blessed with a great fomative example which not all of us can claim. He loved his children and family and was driven by his love for them and theoir love for him.What a great story to be a part of your history.

Reaffirmation. Watching the film for the umpteenth triggered googling and brough me here.
He was a man with values and great heart. It's not just about America; his values resonate across cultures and time.
Well done, mate. Well done.

The raw determination and desperation to survive the day. Not for the fame but to put food on the table. All of us learn something here - he stopped & touched a nation, and today he stops and touches each of us...to give a bit more and take a bit less, yet uphold the same principles in all circumstances. The underdog shines, the honestly strikes!

It's almost 2 am and I'm writing these lines after having seen Cinderalla Man on local Swiss TV. In all perspectives, but above all what a personality James incarnated, towards his family and all others. Such an amazing true story one must love. I deeply respect the grandchildern of keeping up the spirit of your granddad with this web site. I will never forget what I have seen... Matt

This morning I watched Cinderella Man with my kid brother and I couldn't get enough of it. When James was in the final round and won I cried of joy. This is one of the best motivational stories that I've ever heard, James J. Barddock was a true American hero

Cinderella Man is my favorite move! I have always been a fan of Russell Crowe and Boxing...now I am a fan of Jim Braddock. Couldn't have picked a better actor to portray Jim! Great movie

What a story! I just finished watching the movie (again!) and had to look up Jimmy's website. I am a fighter and don't have to look very far for inspiration with this movie in my library.

I loved this mans struggle, the movie was epic. I am opening a boxing gym for at risk youth in my city, Braddock, PA, the poorest city in Pittsburgh.

Been looking for where the heroes have gone.... FOUND one here! James J. Braddock, truly a hero and real man. Thanks to Ron Howard, Russell Crowe and Rene Zellweger for keeping this morsel of strength alive.

Just saw the movie about your grandfather. Really enjoyed it. Not only is it a boxing movie, but it shows the hardship of that time period. Just wanted to say hey and peace be with you and your family.

I was suprised to see how closely the movie follows the true story. I have found the film to be an inspiration.

"Cinderella Man" is thus far an inspiring film. Many scenes are very moving, such as the scene where Braddock's son steals the butcher's meat, which shows how desperate and scared people were at the time. But Braddock kept his honor and pride while having his son promise not to steal anything from then on. That made his later action of going to the Wrestling company to ask for money to bring the children back even more impressive. He was able to put aside his pride to protect his family, something that many people find almost impossible to do. James J. Braddock is an honorable man, and I am sure I will be further impressed with him as we continue watching.

Cinderella Man is an excellent movie and very accurate on the history aspect of the film.
Brian M - Mentor, Ohio United States [2011-05-23 20:53:38]
Cinderella Man has opened my eyes to a very inspiring story and is rather accurate in doing so, this site also gives good, extra information that I was hoping to find.
