Cinderella Man

**Sean P Kelly** · 06-08-2005, 04:05 PM

I saw Cinderella Man last night.

It's a very good movie and that's all I can say. Paul Giamatti was very good, and would be a crime if doesn't get a supporting actor nod at the Oscars.

I would also like to point out that this film was filmed last year, right here in my hometown of Toronto. I remember walking along Yonge St. (the main street downtown) and I turned my head and was surprised to see Madison Square Garden (the set was built on the side of the Hudson's Bay Company department store). Based on what I saw in the movie, they also took advantage of the TTC streetcar tracks right by the store.

It can be a good movie, but it's still a terrible title.

^ "Cinderella Man" was the real nickname given to Jim Braddock. Apparently he didn't like it much either.

So then why dishonor the man by sticking a name he hated on a movie about him?
...Especially so soon after the Cinderella name was tainted by Hilary Duff?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^ It's not dishonouring him. The nickname was given to Braddock because he went from being totally down on his luck with no money to being a heavyweight contender. The thing was, all Braddock really cared about was providing for his family.
