Nicknamed "The Bronx Bull," Jack LaMotta was an extremely offensive, gifted boxer who claimed he would never be knocked out. Almost all boxers have their own nicknames, and they are generally associated with animals. Just like the sport of boxing, there is always a desire to stimulate the boxer's animal instincts to fight savage, bloody and brutal matches.
Although Jack once played invincible all over the world, his road to the boxing championship was not smooth. The boxing ring also has unspoken rules of the boxing ring. In order to participate in the championship game, Jack finally compromised with reality, obeyed the arrangement of the behind-the-scenes boss, and deliberately lost a game. In that game, he let his opponent smack on the stage without resisting at all. After the game, he cried in the locker room and questioned himself why he did that. He used to only want to rely on himself, but he had to bow his head to reality.
Later, Jack participated in the championship and became the world champion as he wished, winning the gold belt. Despite the fame and fortune, his family life became worse and worse. His impulsive and irritable nature is a double-edged sword, which made La Motta the champion of boxing, but devoured La Motta as her husband and brother. He is sensitive and suspicious, vexatious, and fights at every turn. After repeated repetitions, his younger brother, who has been helping his boxing career, finally breaks up with him.
The last boxing match in the movie is La Motta against his old enemy Robinson. This match seems to be a repeat of history. After the match, La Motta no longer resists, let Robinson beat him to death and blood spray everywhere. Both are. How heroic is it, commentators say "no one can take such a pounding, I really don't know how he stays on his feet." LaMotta lost his title in this match, and maybe at the same time he Also gave up on the boxing industry.
After retiring, LaMotta once showed off his mansion, beautiful wife and three children in front of reporters' cameras. He even started to run a hotel and started his entertainment life by saying some not-so-funny jokes in bars. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the wife couldn't bear him to file for divorce without caring for the family and took custody of the children. LaMotta was later charged with "indecent assault" and faced jail time. At that time, his daughter was gone, and he had no real friends to ask for help, so he had to sell the championship gold belt to raise funds. It is a pity that he lacked basic common sense, smashed the gold belt recklessly, and sold only the jewelry on the belt, which greatly reduced its value, resulting in his final imprisonment.
In prison, he was out of control, punching the wall like a vent, and complaining, "Idiot, Idiot, Idiot. Why? Why? Why? Why did they do this to me? I'm not that bad, I'm not that bad." After all, the boxing champion still has his very weak side, just like when he kept his wife and begged "Sweetheart, I will never be like this again", and also like many years later when he met his brother who had not been in touch for a long time and asked his brother for forgiveness, Kiss his brother without hesitation and expect him to call him.
Boxing is a brutal sport, it destroys the body and to a large extent the spirit. Boxing inspires the animal instincts and savage nature of the fighters, betting their entire lives. As a boxer, Jack LaMotta's career turned from prosperity to decline is inevitable, but because of his irritability, sensitivity and arrogance, his life slipped into the abyss of tragedy and was not spared. If there is anything other than the widely praised merits of this movie that can scatter thinking, I think it should be educated no matter what way it is, to become a person of self-cultivation, to be able to resolve life with great wisdom Distressed people. Some things are unavoidable, but perhaps can be avoided.
