본 연구는 스포츠영화를 이해하는데 그동안 간과되어왔던 가족의 의미와 스포츠에서의 가족의 역할과 중요성을 이끌어냄으로써 현대 사회에서 약화되고 있는 가족의 역할 강화 등의 담론을 유도하는데 그 목적이 있다. <신데렐라 맨>의 내용분석을 통해 연구자는 권투와 가족중심주의의 의미를 세 가지로 범주화 하였다. 정정당당함의 수단으로서의 권투와 도덕집단으로서의 가족, 좌절된 권투에의 욕망과 융합적 사랑으로서의 부부 그리고 권투를 통한 자아실현과 관계적 존재로서의 가족이 그것이다. 또한 대중매체의 일영역으로서 스포츠영화는 사회적 기능을 수행하고 있는데, <신데렐라 맨>에서는 가족중심주의적 내용을 통해 정보제공기능, 사회화 기능, 오락기능과 사회통합 및 사회조정의 기능을 잘 보여주고 있다.
