Fredericka Mathewes-Green notes the significance of this important movie: “Cinderella Man is not really a movie about boxing, it’s a movie about what it means to be a man. In the character of Jim Braddock, we can read what today’s audiences are wistful for: a man who works hard to support his wife and kids, who teaches his kids to be honest, who communicates his delight in his wife with every glance.” Read the whole essay here.
As you watch the film, notice how often the Kingdom of God breaks into Jim Braddock’s life with power, to the wonder of all around him. Also notice his faith.
