just came back from J8, watched Cinderella Man. truly inspirational, touching, motivating and heart warming story.
True, it has a very typical storyline. Man gets success, Man falls, Man gets second chance, Man makes it good again.
But so what? it's the kind of story that almost everyone loves. the kind of story that every one wants to identify with. when you watch the guy, Jimmy, get up time and time again after getting knocked down, you can't help but feel for him. suddenly, i feel some of how the wife feels. the pain and anguish that sears through him when he gets punched, i feel it too. but each time he got a punch back at his opponent, despite how weak or strong that punch was, you feel the adrenalin rush through you once again, pumping you up, giving you hope to hold on that jimmy WILL WIN!!!!! true, some parts of me expected him to win. But being actually brought through the journey with jimmy, you feel his determination. You think of the times when you yourself got given the second chance-did you treasure it?? did you give it the attention it was worth? jimmy did. and he won.
i will wake up early and go jogging tomorrow. =) i hope.
anyway, Cinderella Man is a really good show that you should catch not only for the fighting. But for the courage of a man to set aside his ego for the moment, and ask for help, to the extent of begging from people who knew him as a former boxing champion, people who saw him in his better days, just to pay his electrical bills and to keep his family together. his determination and love is truly amazing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST BESTIE ANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
life's is always brighter after talking to you =)
