Review of Raging Bull (1980) by Erg1008 — 23 Aug 2010
Martin Scorsese's biopic of boxing champion Jake La Motta.
Robert De Niro is outstanding playing the insecure, paranoid & not particularly pleasant La Motta. With the later scenes after La Motta had retired, it's hard to believe this is still De Niro playing the same character as the transformation is so good.
Joe Pesci is very good for his portrayal of Joey La Motta, Jake's brother.
The fantastic music is also definitely worth an extra point for the great way in which it was used.
