On a self-destructive path, he destroys everything that is important to him. Although Rocky depicted some of boxing's gruesome side ("cut me Nick"), Scorsese clearly showcases boxing at its ferocious and canadian film savage worst. Blood spurts, noses get crushed. Between rounds, Jake is sponged off with bloody water. Frank Warner uses animal sounds during punches to accentuate the bestial nature of the sport. Great movie. Nobody can swear as well as DeNiro, and he lets them fly throughout. Gory, graphic and tragic, but somehow lyrical, emotional and deeply provoking, Raging Bull is an all time masterpiece. |

| With respect to the actors, Cathy Moriarty and Joe Pesci provided the most interesting angles. Pesci, a childhood actor, had given up on acting and was working in a restaurant when approached by DeNiro and Scorsese to do buds the film. Obviously, his career was rejuvenated after his role as Jake's brother. Also, Raging Bull took Moriarty from being just a neighborhood girl to buds an Oscar-nominated celebrity for her role as Vickie LaMatta. Previously, she had had some undefined aspirations to be an actress, but had no professional experience; only high buds school and dinner theater. DeNiro does provide interviews, but his comments are the least inspired, despite the entire project being made primarily at his persuasion. As for the movie itself, it is a masterpiece. Made in the enthusiasm for boxing movies in the wake of 1977's "Rocky," Raging Bull puts the sport into a much less glamorous light. |
