Commitment - I will have to start trying something in English because I ever comfirmed someone. Maybe this is first one.

This is a story of heavyweight boxer Jim J. Braddock -- <Cinderella Man>. The background begins in New York City between the late 1920s and the end of 1930s.

The Great Depression in the United States came suddenly in October 1929, when the whole system crashed. The economy failed, banks closed, families around the country lost their money, and millions of people lost their jobs and their homes.

The story of Jim Braddock was similar to the story of many Amercians. He is a rich man because he made a lot of money in the 1920s as a successful boxer, and he and his family had everything they wanted.

But he lost all of his money in the Great Depression, and he experienced bad luck in his professional life when he began to lose fights. He had to fight just to put food on the table for his family. Most people believed that his life as a professional heavyweight boxer had ended.

Finally, he is one of the greatest champion throughout he hardly work, and handled his second chance.
