For my second Ron Howard movie, I watched Cinderella Man. I deffinetly liked this movie more than Apollo 13. Although both movies were very suspenseful and exciting, I think Ron Howard made Cinderella Man a better movie by the way he used love, suspense, and passion for boxing. Cinderella Man is a movie based on a true story of a former heavyweight boxing champion, James J Braddock. The story is about Jim Braddock (Russell Crowe) and his wife, Mae (Renee Zellweger) are two very poor people with three young children and their struggle to find work, make money and feed their children. During the Great Depression, Jim works some very low paying jobs, with a passion to get into the ring again. Suddenly, a boxer cancels a fight and Jim gets a shot at his dream once again. After many fights Jim finally meets his toughest match, Max Baer, for the championship. This is where the movie is the most suspenseful due to the fact Baer has killed two people before in the ring. After a brutal fight, Jim wins heavyweight boxing champion. It was really exciting I got shivers. I think he really deserved to win this fight because he had the heart and now his family can live a healthy life. I really enjoyed this movie, and Ron Howard is one of my favorite directors now and I can't wait to watch more movies directed by him.
