Review of Raging Bull (1980) by Shane S — 17 Mar 2017
My opinion---.
Raging Bull, is an extraordinary film and biography on the life of the great boxing champion Jake LaMotta, carried out masterfully by the brilliant Martin Scorsese. In this incredible film about the life of this great American boxer of Italian origin nicknamed "the bull of the Bronx". He came from a modest background and reached the heights thanks to mythical fights, notably against Sugar Ray Robinson and Marcel Cerdan, who will lead him to the title of world middleweight champion. But then he knows the failure of his private life (divorce, reconversion as manager of nightclub ...).
A magnificent film full of truth and emotion, I remember the incredible effort that Robert De Niro had to make by growing 27 kilos to play the role of Jake LaMotta after his career as a boxer. An exceptional achievement by Martin Scorsese and such an exceptional performance by Robert De Niro. This great biographical film retraces the life of Jake LaMotta. In 1990, American critics chose him as the best film of the decade. It is true that this film is incredibly good.
