Review of Raging Bull (1980) by Alex H — 21 Apr 2013
Martin Scorsese's beautifully filmed biopic of boxer Jake La Matta is absolutely flawless. De Niro and Pesci give absolutely perfect. I never knew just how good Robert De Niro was of an actor until seeing this.
Okay, yes, he was good in the Godfather: Part II, but he's not really in it that much compared to Al Pacino. this film also enhances my belief of black and white being much more mysterious and stylized than color.
it really makes the story much more intense and makes the boxing scenes completely unforgettable. I don't see how anyone could forget De Niro questioning Pesci about if he slept with De Niro's wife.
Please, if you have not seen this masterpiece from Scorcese, then you need to see it.
