The photography, editing, and sound effects are all perfect. Martin Scorsese downplays the causal logic and linear narrative of conventional narratives, and uses successive life fragments to piece together Jack Morata's neurotic and restless personality.
He used talent and paranoia to win the glory in the boxing ring, and after retiring, he numbly accepted the downfall and loneliness of everyone. He was morbidly sensitive, tearing up everyone who came close to him with twisted suspicion and control in his life. The only person he loves the most is himself, no matter who the other party is, as long as it does not meet his wishes, he will vent his anger with extreme violence.
He once loved boxing, refused to compromise with the power groups, and stubbornly maintained a posture of not being knocked down. But when he stares alone in the mirror after a loss, when he bursts into tears after his first fake punch, when he voluntarily gives up his resistance in the final fight, when he is hysterical in a prison cell, and recites his lines attentively in the backstage of a bar. At the time, he did not have any exact, secular vision, nor did he have too much joy and sorrow for the ups and downs of life. When he didn't beat his beautiful and innocent wife, he didn't question his loyal younger brother inexplicably, and he didn't kill the Quartet in the ring, when you looked into his eyes, there was only confusion.
