This movie SUCKED!! I'm sorry I'm totally going against the crowd on this one. Scorsese and DeNiro both did an astounding work to bring LaMotta's career into the spotlight and make it interesting for many audiences alike, (also featuring Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty in their major screen debuts as brother and wife who are treated as heels) its a beautiful film with awesome film editing, graceful score, and a favorable lush cinematography of pure black and white that makes it climatic, suspenseful, dramatic, overpowering and exhilarating and remarkably one of the greatest pictures in motion picture history and a certified classic, not to be missed … Expand However even the final outcome still shows us that behind every boxing story is a legendary story about confronting reality with whats left of your guts. Jake LaMotta is at the height of his boxing career in the early 1940s as he pits himself against the toughest boxers to ever hit the boxing ring of New York, however his rage-filled ambition and lack of focus to be the frontline contender is held back when his personal and private life begins to be driven into the battlefield of his inner rage and everything that is his life takes a massive down turn for the worst. Robert De Niro's tough to the core lightning worthy performance is cinematic history as this epic depicts the rise and fall of the controversial heavyweight boxing champ Jake LaMotta also know as the Bronx Bull.

Raging Bull can definitely be the best film from the 1980s and one undeniably triumphant biography drama ever made.

Scorsese's beautifully shot masterpiece is still an electrifying moment that is almost as grand as Citizen Kane itself. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
