I didn't dare to comment on "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas" by Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro before. Although I think the works are very good, I obviously can't say how. It's a good idea, a bit intriguing and vague, so I went to see "Raging Bull" today, and I learned a little about the generality and purpose of Martin Scorsese's films. Let's talk about this movie first. The first is the shooting technique. The footage of punching to the flesh is very shocking under his quick editing, and in 1980, a large number of shots were placed in the ring to watch the melee combat at close range. In this digital age, I feel that relying solely on computer effects They can't completely make such a shocking force, and the pinching is quite in place! It is no exaggeration that this film can be regarded as a filmmaker's bible just by the way of shooting. The sound effects in this film are also god-level. It is only after sufficient research on psychology. Look carefully at Robinson for the second time: The sound effect before the hero is preparing to counterattack or ring the bell to start the battle is to slowly reduce the audience in the arena. The screams and cheers, then the camera sound, for a few seconds and then back to normal, the effect is obviously to activate the mind of our audience at this moment, and our directed concentration continues at 100% for the next few minutes , but also focus on highlighting the climax part of the film and deepen the audience's impression. Actors, I think I have a unique idea of ​​my own when I write about actors. I don't know if anyone agrees. The combination of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro has a very unique taste. First of all, both are With the pursuit of the ultimate as a common goal, Robert De Niro's interpretation of the loner is really unparalleled. He doesn't talk much but has a surly temperament. It is difficult for you to guess what he wants to do next, and his expression will not spoil at all. You can't even find people similar to him or similar things in daily life. In one sentence, the role played by Robert De Niro can be summed up: 'In extreme loneliness, a psychological imbalance occurs, and actions that go beyond the norm' I currently see This is the case in all the films that have had Robert De Niro as the protagonist. Before this film, DeRoney recommended the book "Jack LaMotta" to Martin Scorsese twice, and he was right This biography is of interest, and in addition to lobbying Scorsese, he also met and talked with LaMotta and got LaMotta to start training himself to the standards of a real boxer - LaMotta and De Niro The two played against each other for more than a thousand games. Then in the second half of the film, in order to play the protagonist getting fat in middle age, De Niro went to Italy to gain weight immediately after filming the scenes of La Motta's glory days, so that he could play the middle-aged and fat La Motta from 150 pounds. gain weight to 21 0 pounds, just gave birth to a bloated pot belly. Robert De Niro still won the Oscar for "Raging Bull". Finally: The reason why the film was shot in black and white was because the color of the glove would cause the negative to fade, so I decided to use black and white.

    One of the classic boxing movies. As a realist director, biopics must be one of Scorsese’s passions. However, in his movies, he never used chicken soup. The reality is like this, so he shoots. , The film describes a boxer who is against him all over the world, and exposes some shady scenes in the boxing world. He is not selfish, but just insecure. De Niro did a great job gaining weight for this film, and he almost didn't recognize it.

    The tone of strength, irritability, suspiciousness, struggling not to be overthrown, as well as the old age of the strong man. Scorsese and De Niro need not say much. The sound of the fist falling is extremely lifelike. The little Italian who plays the younger brother is really a golden supporting role. When I was interviewed in a private house after retiring and gaining weight, the background music was Blue Velvet.

    Vicki LaMotta: Yeah, I sucked his cock. And everybody else on the fuckin' street too. What do you want? You're nothin' but a fat pig, selfish fool!

    [as Jake slaps Vicki and leaves]

    Vicki LaMotta: His fuckin' cock's bigger than yours too!

  • [first lines]

    Jake La Motta: I remember those cheers / They still ring in my ears / After years, they remain in my thoughts. / Go to one night / I took off my robe, and what'd I do? I forgot to wear shorts. / I recall every fall / Every hook, every jab / The worst way a guy can get rid of his flab. / As you know, my life wasn't drab. / Though I'd much... Though I'd rather hear you cheer / When you delve... Though I'd rather hear you cheer / When I delve into Shakespeare / "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse", I haven't had a winner in six months.

    [he lights a cigar]

    Jake La Motta: Though I'm no Olivier / I would much rather... And though I'm no Olivier / If he fought Sugar Ray / He would say / That the thing ain't the ring, it's the play. / So give me a... stage / Where this bull here can rage / And though I could fight / I'd much rather recite /... that's entertainment.
