When life is underestimated, it may be another high point

Another inspirational film based on a true story. This kind of movie is Russell Crowe's specialty. When I saw him starring, I was very relieved about this movie, knowing that I would not be disappointed! Facts have proven this!

The film is roughly about: an out-of-date boxer, during the Great Depression, stood on the ring again in order to feed his family. Typical American inspirational film.

I've never found a boxing match so exciting! At the beginning of the film, Jim Braddock was rewarded more than 3,000 yuan after he easily defeated the player, and went home happily to live a happy life... But four years later, everything changed. In a game, he insisted on playing because of a fractured right hand. In addition to being hungry, he was coaxed off the stage by the audience after his poor performance during the game. Later, there was no job, no money to pay electricity bills, milk...


Every time JIM's assistants used some words to encourage JIM before the game. For example, whoever did not fall in 80 consecutive games, JIM started to say "It's Jim Braddock"; then he asked who defeated XXX, and JIM went on to say that it was Jim Braddock. It's a good way to motivate. At that time I started to think what are my strengths?

Who stayed up all night to produce the graduation project and thesis of the whole group? When my

teacher can't teach because the computer is broken, who will step up and solve the computer problem?

Who am I to work hard after failing math and then be the only one in my class to take part in a provincial math competition?

Who am I in my junior year of high school, I never listen to lectures in class, and I only start studying a week before the exam. The average score of the exam is over 90? What



impresses me the most is not his boxing but the fact that he, as a father and husband of three children, always puts his family first. Teach children how to behave, keep their promises, and be responsible. It's definitely a hit by now!


Human life is like a sine curve. When we reach an underestimate, it may be the coming of a climax...
