Plot Summary:
|
When Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing tinkle and obliterates his opponent, he's a prizefighter. But when he treats his family and friends the same way, he's a ticking time bomb, on the point of to go quiet at any moment. Though LaMotta wants his family's liking, something again seems to meet up between them. Perhaps it's his energetic bouts of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life, he winds up in the re-echo unescorted.

Scorsese employs every trick in the book to make the boxing sequences the most incredible ever to be...

There are some who consider it blasphemous to say anything negative about the epic biopic and there's no disputing the movie's magnificence. Yet the standards of Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader are so high that it's hard to argue that Raging Bull represents the very best of either man's work.
For those who haven't gone 15 rounds with the picture, Raging Bull stars Robert De Niro as middleweight boxer Jake LaMotta. Pound-for-po...
