Some viewers on station B thought that "Kiss of the Killer" gave birth to "Angry Bull", but it was not the case. The characters and the subject of the shooting are completely different between the two.
David Corden, played by the little-known Jamie Smith, is just an ordinary boxer, not a middleweight boxing champion, nor a special Italian, but an "old" white boxer who has played 88 boxing games. hand. In 88 games, he was in poor physical and mental condition, and he would be knocked to the ground by his opponents and insulted during boxing. This is completely different from Jack Lamotta. De Niro’s La Mota will never fall, and she will stubbornly say: "Do you think you knocked me down?" The champion and boxer are perfect mirror images.
But David Corden still has the atmosphere of a family atmosphere. Although he is depressed in the boxing field, his uncle and aunt in other states still kindly look forward to his return. David Corden himself also intends to give up his fist and return home. . However, Jack Lamotta regarded boxing as everything, he was self-sufficient, did not know how to tolerate and understood, and eventually lost his family and his wife, and ended up miserable and pitiful. David Corden attaches importance to family and Jack La Motta attaches importance to boxing. Where are the two the same?
The scenes of running on the empty and high streets and running on the roof in the film are full of surrealism. I think these scenes, as well as the scenes of fighting in a room full of statues of women, all show the deepest and unexpressed sense of loneliness among the bottom Americans in the 1950s, similar to Kafka's loneliness and Camus's loneliness. "Angry Bull" is full of strength in a faint sadness, whether it is a fight alone in the dark and mad boxing ring at the beginning of the movie, or a speech at a nightclub at the end of the movie, it is full of compassion from beginning to end.
