The movie Cinderella Man is the one which impressed me the most recently. The class required us to read the book and to watch the movie. And the background of story takes place in New York and New Jersey during the Great Depression, a time that people experienced the worst economic hardship in U.S. history. James J. Braddock (Russell Crowe) was a light heavyweight boxer who was forced to retired from the ring after breaking his hand in his last fight. And the whole story described how he fought for himself and his family. He gave the hope to those people were suffered from the Great depression. I was able to understand the whole movie completely due to the preview of the book. For me, I think the story is touching when it describes the interaction between him and his family.
