Review of Raging Bull (1980) by Stefan N — 08 Jun 2013
Not your average boxing melodrama.Scorsese gloriously represents a paranoid and jealous man's inner struggles outside of the ring which essentially isolate him from his loved ones. "Raging Bull" is an emotional ride through the life of a despicable character who we feel sorry for in the end.
From the cinematography to the editing, every part of this film is crafted masterfully. The performances, notably from DeNiro, are some of the finest in cinema. The black and white is actually used well instead of just being thrown at the audience claiming it is artistically valuable.
The credit is largely due to the writers since they dug deeper into an ordinary life of a boxer to make one of the most captivating stories. One of the few movies everyone must watch.
