There is no way back for boxing movies to be made like this. A boxer's victory on the field will not convey any excitement to the audience. It does the opposite, making you feel that every victory on the court is a failure in life. The boxer played by De Niro is only violent. He will only be violent. Compared with his softer brother, Jack the Bull is a beast. The reason for his sorrow is that victory in the game cannot bring him a sense of security. The Bulls know that everything on the field is just on the field. The fist thrown out can knock down the opponent. But when it hits his wife's face, he is the one who knocks down. Scorsese made the Bulls a sharp self-contradictory body. He weakened boxing and focused on portraying the hopeless life of boxers. It seems that success is just the other side of failure for boxers. When he became the stand-up comedian he once spurned, the boxer's soul was enclosed in the self-motivation of the mirror when preparing for the backstage. He punched the air in the background, and after the fist went out, he still hit himself. This is really desperate.
