...Limits of Prudence Orman's personal story is an important part of the product she's selling. She grew up in a modest household on the South Side of Chicago, where her father ran a deli. She dropped out of the University of Illinois (she later finished her degree) and spent six years waitressing in Berkeley, Calif. After losing $50,000 she had been lent to a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch, she became a Merrill broker herself.

...just his imposing back, as he trudges through corridors toward another fight. (Martin Scorsese virtually patented that shot in Raging Bull and Goodfellas.) The trope does pay off later in the film, when the camera trails the briefly retired Randy down the stairs to his new job, behind a deli counter. But Aronofsky's main contribution was to lion-tame a jolting performance out of a forgotten hero...
