Review of Raging Bull (1980) by Brian L — 07 Aug 2013
"Raging Bull" is my fifth favorite film of all-time! It is also, in my opinion, the best sports film of all-time! Robert De Niro gives one of his finest performances in this movie, in fact, maybe his best performance.
I always like it when a sports movie, like "Cinderella Man" and "The Fighter", focus more on the individual than the sport, and that element definitely shines in this movie. Here, we watch the life of Jack La Motta, as he goes through fights, marriages, being rough on his brother, played excellently by Joe Pesci, and gain 60 pounds.
"Raging Bull" changed the way I watched sports movies. As I've said, "Raging Bull" is my fifth favorite film of all-time!
