This scene aptly points to LaMotta's life.
An adventurous, slightly neurotic, sensitive man who enjoys everyone's attention. But beneath the spectacle lies a lot of potential danger: jealousy, anger, and unbridled indulgence, all of which can easily bring the fragile goblet down one by one, leaving it all in shambles.
"Raging Bull" (1980) is based on the biography of boxer Jack LaMotta. At first, Scorsese didn't want to direct the film. First of all, he was not interested in sports, and he had read the biography before, and it was not at all. I don't understand what the author is trying to say, so I can't resonate with the character, until he also experiences the low point of his life and finally understands that, on the surface, this is a review of a boxer's career, but boxing is just an introduction. It's a story of repentance. "Scorsese's reading from the book about the meaning of Christ's atonement gave him a boost, so he lifted his spirits, got his strength back, and incorporated his remorse and unwillingness into the film."
