      Raging Bull: The Redemption of Martin Scorsese

      This scene aptly points to LaMotta's life.

      An adventurous, slightly neurotic, sensitive man who enjoys everyone's attention. But beneath the spectacle lies a lot of potential danger: jealousy, anger, and unbridled indulgence, all of which can easily bring the fragile goblet down one by one, leaving it all in shambles.

      "Raging Bull"--LaMotta's Boxing Road

      Raging Bull is another masterpiece by Martin Scorsese after Taxi Driver, which perfectly interprets the status quo of American society in the 1940s and brings its unique black thinking. At the time of filming, Martin was at a low point in his career and life. It was an autobiography that De Niro strongly recommended to him. Scorsese, who read the original book on the hospital bed, felt that La Motta was very similar...

      The impact of uncontrollable growth environment on life

      Is it a little neurotic, selfish (all self) who likes to be violent and likes to be violent, but they don't feel it. There is also a good side and a softening side: crying bitterly after punching fake punches, consoling your opponent when you win a championship, letting you fight but not falling down (you can destroy but never defeat) knowing that you did something wrong to your brother is atonement ( Behaviors, methods and characters may be related to the growth environment), the...

      I was blind, now I can see

      I don't know why Americans love making biographical films so much.
      Angry bull, this boxer Jack has nothing to admire, arrogant, narrow-minded, selfish, suspicious and, in his own words, animal. Yuan Liang, my ignorance, do not understand what such a person has to make into a movie. You say he is a boxing genius, but can a genius act recklessly and cause harm to others or even relatives with his own emotions without reason? To be honest, I despised him, and even when it seemed that I...

      I am kind

      A boxer with a prosperous career, a happy family and a good wife. However, for a championship challenge, he cheated once and deliberately lost. This time he has heartfelt remorse, and the man's tears are also touching. However, a fall in human nature will result in a lifelong irreversibility. So even if he wins the boxing championship belt, his life's fortunes are getting worse and worse. Coupled with the inherent selfishness, jealousy, greed and greed of human nature, he ends up in prison....

      It is said that this is the best boxing movie, but in my opinion, it is a self-salvation among people who are told by boxing. I don't know who is good and who is bad, all I know is that I used to be blind, but I can see now....

      Great anti-genre. Every punch is not a catharsis but a repression. Only the violence under the boxing ring can truly face the dark demons of the...

      I thought it would be a powerful movie full of male hormones, but I didn't expect the pace to be so slow, and Balabala's lines were endless. Is it necessary to make it so long? I really have no patience to watch...

      I don't think anyone sympathizes with Jake, his arrogance, suspicion, and brutality have made him a complete self-destructor who won't be recognized under any perspective. After reading this film, I really realized the loneliness, suspicion, and hesitation carried by the spiritual world of the people Martin wanted to write, which seems to have become the new original sin in the modern world. The Gospel of John that finally appeared was like a ghostly shadow approaching the depths of my soul...

    Behind the scenes gags

    For the role Robert De Niro went through a lot of physical training. Then in the real Brooklyn boxing match, he participated in three games and won two of them.
    Although there were only a few minutes of boxing scenes in the film, in order to design precise fighting movements, they took 6 weeks to shoot.
    During the preparation for the role of Jack Lamot, Robert De Niro often met with Lamot in reality, and the two became very close...

    Creative process

    During the filming of "The Godfather 2" , Robert De Niro read a novel Jack La Motta's autobiography "Angry Bull: My Story" . The legendary experience of Jack LaMotta was very attractive to Robert De Niro, hoping to put this story on the screen, and recommended the novel to his friend Martin Scorsese. He refused Robert De Niro's request. I always think boxing is a very boring sport. The novel was subsequently transferred to screenwriter...

    Evaluation action

    The boxing scenes in the film are full of claustrophobic, rugged and terrifying colors, and are known as the best boxing scenes in the history of the film. The film’s photography skills are superb, especially the boxing scenes, which fully express the characters' brave posture and mad cow-like personality. , Is also very good in using music to set off the picture and picture editing, tightly grasping the heartstrings of the audience,...
