I don't know why Americans love making biographical films so much.
Angry bull, this boxer Jack has nothing to admire, arrogant, narrow-minded, selfish, suspicious and, in his own words, animal. Yuan Liang, my ignorance, do not understand what such a person has to make into a movie. You say he is a boxing genius, but can a genius act recklessly and cause harm to others or even relatives with his own emotions without reason? To be honest, I despised him, and even when it seemed that I finally woke up, I still despised him. Maybe Scorsese made the man too real, too real for the screen.
No one around a genius suffers more than his loved ones and loved ones. Jack's younger brother beat up and seduced his sister-in-law in the nightclub, which made people's blood boil. If there is no younger brother, it can be said that Jack can only be a puddle of mud. And his unreasonable suspicions about his wife, I really want to punch him with a combo.
De Niro, there is nothing to say about his acting skills. More importantly, he is responsible. He gained more than 50 pounds for the role. In my impression, Christian Bale was thin and terrifying for the filming. It is the dedication of these actors that has created so many classic roles.

    Shang Yilian Masters Exhibition@影城巨幕重看 Scorsese said that this movie was made for himself, which once again shows that setting aside unnecessary external factors, it is possible to burst into the true color of the individual artistic energy is the kingly way, this is far It’s not a boxing movie, but a biopic of a man in an Italian immigration area in New York. The angry boxer and the angry husband are intertwined with each other. The typical characterization is almost condensed and abstract, mixed with the blood and sweat of classical music, just like Shakespeare's tragedy in black and white
