Another attempt to make the jew seem like a heathen. Overall a good movie, a safe movie with all the popular cliches that the academy eats up. Crowe gives a really good performance though, renee zelwegger is really stale and paul giamati is awesome.
Historically its rubbish, it makes Braddock look like a saint and Baer the jew look like the devil which is completely untrue but it's hollywood. Also makes it too much of a come from behind story by making it look like Braddock couldnt get a fight for years due to injury which is also untrue. Though it was true that no one gave Braddock a chance and pretty much figured that it was certain death. It's very similar to how people viewed the Foreman Ali fight, it wasnt a question of will ali win, it was a question of will ali leave the ring alive, of course Braddock wasn't in the same universe as Ali.
