"Angry Bull" is a biographical film in which the protagonist is the famous American middleweight boxing champion Jack LaMotta in the 1940s-a fearless tough guy and a very suspicious extreme maniac. The beginning of the film has a masculine tragic sentiment: in the black and white tones that make people feel that history is truly reproduced, La Motta, played by De Niro, is wearing a boxing jersey with a pointed cap and a pair of long boxing boots under her feet. , He leaped to warm up on the empty ring around him. In the slow motion, La Motta's skillful punches and footsteps show that he is worthy of being a boxing champion. When he is at his peak, no opponent can resist the attack of the "angry bull". In this way, La Mota dances solo in the long and long music. His lonely and tragic life portrayal has been revealed in the film's excellent film language within a few minutes of the opening of the film. La Mota's sports career is undoubtedly tragic, his champion gold belt was exchanged for blood and sweat. In a cruel game like boxing, beating and beating is all about it, and the smell of blood and sweat is the taste of it. Who else can experience the bitterness besides the boxer himself? Xikoses said that La Motta's simple and paranoid character is fascinating. What other more true and primitive way of earning a living than knocking down others in the world? Tyson said, "Boxing is a game of killing." However, the victory of the La Mota champion is more painful than the blood and sweat is the surrender of dignity. In order to get a chance to compete for the champion, La Motta had to succumb to the underworld forces in a match with a third-rate boxer to pretend to lose. Look at that dull opponent. La Mota almost stopped him with a punch, but then she had to pretend that she lost the game. After the game, La Mota shed tears in the lounge. . In the match for the boxing champion's gold belt, La Mota had a clear upper hand, and his opponent gave up the game halfway through. After winning the title of boxing champion, La Mota became a glutton. One of the shots is impressive: La Motta is holding a big hamburger in his hand while enjoying a big mouth while spinning around a TV without image signal like a headless fly. His appearance of gluttony and gluttony The falling fat belly made the brother on the side feel upset. He impatiently told La Mota not to use the fat belly to cover the TV. At the same time, he reminded him that there will be a defending game soon, don’t just remember to eat regardless of your body. But La Motta turned a deaf ear. In this way, I remembered the old man in "Gunfire" who tried to murder the boss and was ordered to kill by Ren Dahua. Before he died, while enjoying his last supper calmly, he said to Ren Dahua: "What is the purpose of working hard before? Isn't it for a good meal?...
In the film, La Motta has a beautiful wife, Vigie, sexy and plump, who fascinates De Niro just like the secretary in "Taxi Driver", but she also leaves him in the end. Travis loves female secretaries, and La Mota loves Vigie, but the way they treat their lover is unacceptable-the driver takes people to watch porn, and the boxing champion always suspects Vigie and Others have an affair, even the brother can't believe it, and the basis of this unfounded suspicion is that Vigie said a few words with his brother. In the film, La Motta kept questioning whether Vigie had anything to do with it. At first, Vigie didn't want to bother about this kind of unfounded suspicion, but under La Motta's unsuspecting extra questioning, Vigie said in a fit of anger, except for things that were against his will. La Motta, irritated and ashamed, rushed to his brother's house, ignoring Vigie's obstruction, and swollen his flat face in front of his wife and children. For this reason, La Mota's brotherhood was suspicious, paranoid, and paranoid. And violence ruthlessly obliterated. Even though after a long time, La Motta mustered up the courage to call his brother to apologize under the persuasion of Vigie, who had already reunited with him, but before he could speak, a rough call came from the phone. The dull boxing champion hung up the phone speechlessly. Originally, my brother was not targeting La Mota. He thought it was the unlucky guy who hit his head with the car door at the entrance of the bar, and the reason for his beating was just because he thought his brother's wife was taken advantage of by that guy. La Mota's compromise ended in failure because of his brother's misunderstanding. The brothers in the film did not finally resolve the resentment caused by the violence. In addition to brotherhood, La Motta also lost love later. Although he loved Vigie, his love was too extreme and too big for a man, and no woman could bear this kind of love. In that misunderstanding, La Mota not only beat her brother, and Vigie was not spared, but then Vigie temporarily forgave him at La Mota's pleading, but La Mota, who was hard to change, finally lost her. Monzon, the famous Argentine middleweight boxing champion in the 1980s who was also boxing with La Mota, was also a guy who treated his lover violently. He killed his wife after drunk because he suspected of cheating on her. Monzon, like La Mota, is a man who brings violence from the ring to life. They are accustomed to solving things with their fists, just like trying to solve their opponents in a game, but we know that violence often means harm. In the film, when La Mota and Vigie are married in love, the shots are in color, and Sicoses's intention is self-evident. La Mota’s ending is destined, he can only guard his shadow alone in the end, he has lost the person he loves most, the title of boxing champion, the dignity and the joy of life, even though he was once The invincible champion.
As a boxing movie, boxing scenes have naturally become an important part of it. The boxing scenes in the film are fluent and realistic, far beyond the "Rocky"-style falsity can compare. Xikoses invited La Mota himself as a guide, thus reproducing the truth of history and characters. De Niro even spared no effort to practice boxing, showing extraordinary boxing skills, even the boxing king himself believes that he can participate in the highest level of competition. What I personally appreciate most is the match with the boxer with a "PRETTY FACE". La Mota threatened to "him bloodly" on the stage because of the triad’s praise and persuasion to his opponents before the game. Later, because Vigie called him "have a pretty face", he was afraid of being burned. So later The match of "Crazy Bull" almost turned into a game. "Crazy Bull" approached with low stride, and his angry fists struck out frequently. The opponent had no strength to fight back in front of his impenetrable iron fist. Soon after, he was knocked down like a wood. on the ground. Ramota put his teeth on top, and then walked around the stage with his hands up in a victor's posture, in which he threw a cruel and triumphant smile at the expressionless Vigie under the stage with a sense of pleasure. At this moment, we can clearly see what is the power of anger and what is the perfect acting skills, De Niro has made the best demonstration. Don’t think that De Niro’s smile always makes you feel kind, and the unbearable De Niro is terrifying: the godfather cut open the snake’s belly, the driver killed a bunch of pimps, and De Niro himself was even more hands-on. Bladed two robbers. In the last boxing scene of the film, La Motta played against another famous boxing champion Hugh Ray Robinson. La Motta lost the game and lost the champion gold belt. In the film, the two were exhausted from the battle. Robinson's final full blow made him the winner of the game, but La Motta clung to the rope and did not fall, even though he had been beaten to blood. He walked over and smiled to Robinson who was victorious and said: "Hey, Ray, you never beat me down." At this moment, I feel tears are about to fall out. What kind of tough guy is this? As a male, I admire such a tragic and unyielding loser. Even if there is helplessness in it, there is no eternal king in everything.
The lover has left, and the glory is no longer there. The frustrated boxing champion went to the nightclub as the emcee, but at the moment, his bloated body could not find the shadow of the boxing champion. You took the microphone and made a noise on the woman to have some fun to entertain others, you muttered to yourself in the mirror, telling yourself that you were once a boxing champion, who you are talking to? In addition to your own shadow, there are people who will Pay attention to you, a rough and paranoid man? Besides Vigie, who else would forgive your violence because of your hug? Didn’t the girl who let you kiss in the nightclub put you in jail? Your brother doesn't recognize you anymore, Vigie doesn't belong to you anymore, and the child also followed his mother. Although you miss them, all of this is caused by your fault. Now you can do more than remember and blame yourself. What?
"Angry Bull" became Robert De Niro's name as the actor. It interprets the life of a man who is far from perfect. This is a frustrated legend about self-saving.
