The movie Cinderella Man starts off with a boxing match which James J. Braddock is in. The boxing match is held at Madison Square Garden in New York City. James wins the boxing match and after the match he takes a taxi home with his agent or friend. He earns a lot of money that night which is need because of the great depression. This movie is set 4 years into the great depression. When he gets home his wife and kids are there to congratulated him on his victory. That morning there is no milk at the front door and not much food to go around. James gives up his meat for his son. Breakfast is small because times are hard. He goes to see if he gets picked for work today since they don't need that many people helping at the dock. He is not picked but his friend is. Only 7 out of around 30 are picked for jobs in the great depression period. When he gets home his son has brought home a big piece of meat and not saying where he got it from. So James takes him back to the butcher store and gives the butcher the meet back. He promises his son he will never have to leave his home because of the great depression. The next day a boxing match. Into the match fans start to boo as it is not entertaining enough. James hits hard with his right and breaks his hand. Fans boo and after the match James license to fight is revoked as he is injured. A quote from the movie as his agent tells him to go home James says "Go home with what". No money and James hand broken in two places. This time at the dock 5 get picked. James is one of them, he is doing good at the job until a worker asks what's wrong with your hand. He says nothing and goes to have a drink with his new friend at the bar, they talk about stocks. December 1933 electric gets turned off in the apartment or house. James gets wood for the fire and kids are sick. They have to be sent away. James is very sad and angry at himself for breaking his promise. Next day he gets a boat to the City and walks into Madison Square Garden, a lot of rich men talking, smoking and drinking. James makes a speech and begs for money to turn his power back on. He gets it and goes home very happy. Family is back and family is happy again. Birthday party next day and gets in a fight with his friend for fighting with his wife. Agent calls up and says you have a one deal fight for $250 he takes it. This is on June 14, 1934 Braddock vs Griffin. Everyone says he is going to get beat. He wins the fight and shocks the world. After this James starts to train again and gets back into fighting. He wins the next couple of fights and due to me being absent i did not see the last part of the movie. Im guessing he wins the heavy weight championship and makes history. Making his family very proud and very rich.
