Thousands Of Messages and Tributes to Cinderella Man Himself, James J. Braddock A hero to his country and an Inspiration to us all! I have seen many Films, Many insirational, but none compare to Cinderella Man! Words are not enough to Describe the Man Himself, A true legend and an idol to us all. Looking at his life and what he achieved is a Benchmark to myself, i look up to him, even at the hardest times in life, Saying the name James J Braddock is enough to inspire me to achieve anything! Words cannot descrive what the man has done, An Era of a True Great and wonderful Man!

Saw the film today. Not normally into boxing but this one was more of an inspirational event than a 'slug-fest'.
Well done Russell and even better done Jim.

saw the movie yesterday and thought it was an inspirational tribute to a great man and boxer!!!!.

Just finished the movie and I don't really know how to explain how inspirational it was. James Braddock was an amazing man, with an incredible life story.

i saw the film last night and im not into boxing but it was a great movie and he seemed to be a fantastic man and boxer

Hey J from NJ ... read the site. He pased away On November 29th 1974, after eighty-five fights with fifty-one victories.

A great man and I like the site. Good work guys.

I don't understand. He would be 100 years old now, is the man still alive?????!!!! Why doesn't it say in big letters on here that he is still alive? And why didn't the movie tell us he's still alive? Or show real pictures of him? In fact it should show a pic of Russell Crowe with him, that would be nice. Wow... talk about confusion. Ron Howard you should have done better!

Thanks for the information provided in this site..Watched the movie yesterday..really a good one..Russell fits to the character well.

A great movie, but an even better story......saw it with my wife and both of us were immpresed...right now our country is pasing a verf dificult political an economic period...but we haven't lost our hope, and stories like this helps everyone to keep their heads up and keep fighting...

I've just watched the film and if it is a true reflection of the man and his values then he is truly an inspiration to us all. You must be so proud to be related to such a great man.

James Braddock's life sound like a faire tale, but what's amazing,. he was real. What a great man, after watching the film I can honestly say that he is my hero and idol. I would like to have such a strength and courage to achieve my goals as he had.

I have always had an interest in boxing, but James J Braddock was not a name that would leap quickly into my mind. After watching this magnificent film he will be forever more at the forefront of my mind. What courage! In a point in time, when there was very little hope of anything, people would be wise not to forget those times. This movie made you think, about your own life and how easily it could change. It was a wonderful film and he was a great boxer to come such a long journey to win the world heavyweight title. I could feel every punch and every emotion. What passion, what a movie! Thank you for letting me know something of James J Braddock.

Una vida excepcional. He visto la película y me ha dejado francamente impresionado la fuerza de voluntad y el espíritu de lucha de de Braddock. Un auténtico ejemplo para todos

what a great man he was and had the guts to fight for his family to live great film tribute to a great man and boxer

Our whole family has seen the film Cinderella Man and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. At one stage my wife and I were both in tears. My dad is 87 and he remembers the greats of that era including Max Baer, Max Schmeling, Joe Louis and James J. Braddock himself. He loved the film too. God bless you all!

I'll never forget this brave man after I saw the film, furthermore it makes me also know some history of that depress era.
I admire those person for their fortitude.

great movie one of the best ive ever seen...what makes it great is that it is based on a true story on a true champion..i also wonder if there any old fighting footage on jimmy

When We find ourselves in that times of trouble, pain or darkness theres always something that refuses to die or give up, this man was full of "that feeling", he wasnt an Cartoon hero, he was real, and so, you cannot avoid the impulse of shout or cry when you see the movie, you feel like never is imposible when you love and believe in something, there is still a chance for us, even in our darkest hours, you get on your feet, as a taekwon do trainer, is so emotive to see this kind of example of real man, altought he has come to past he is alive in every heart that says "never give up"

What can I say that hasn't been said yet? Think nothing i guess. Great man, gaved me inspiration as well. I enjoyed the movie too. But I was woundering about something, are there annny video materiaals of his fights?

I am honored to be singing this guestbook. When I was a young man I was given the nickname J J Braddock because of my ability to 'lick' everyone I fought. If your dad had not been given arthueric medication he might well have retained his championship.

I really enjoyed the movie. Great Depression era was really bad, but he had a chance and he got it. Allll for his family...

What a great movie, all the better when sport / life inspirational type movies seem to be accurate portrayal. Will be reading more about James Braddock .

Truly inspirational......a must see for anyone who think they are down and out......great story of a comeback with little chance given.......

Good film :] And very good man. And i dont speak english very well :D:D:D
