	Description

	With RAGING BULL, Martin Scorsese's personal approach to filmmaking is taken to a whole new level. Shooting in a crisp black and white, Scorsese tells the story of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, played with incredible intensity by Oscar winner Robert De Niro. As La Motta rises through the ranks to earn his first shot at the middleweight crown, he falls in love with Vickie (Cathy Moriarty), a gorgeous girl from his Bronx neighborhood. Jake's inability to express his feelings pours out in the ring and eventually takes over his life in his dealings with his brother, Joey (a brilliant Joe Pesci). Irrational jealousy over Vickie, as well as an insatiable appetite, sends him into a downward spiral that costs him his title, his wife, and his relationship with Joey. As the out-of-control fighter, De Niro delivers one of the screen's most unforgettable performances. Pesci is just as intense as Joey, who finally realizes that he is unable to tame his animalistic brother. Cinematographer Michael Chapman shoots the film with a stylish flair that fills the boxing scenes with boundless energy and adds immediacy to the arguments that erupt whenever Jake is outside the ring. Simply put, RAGING BULL is one of American cinema's masterworks.

I first saw "Raging Bull" a few years ago at a friend's house. And so began my admiration for Martin Scorcese. What i love best about this film is the way that Scorcese shot the film. First, the...

Long, slow, excruciating, heartbreaking self-destruction. With boxing. I don't know what took me so long to see this movie, but I jumped at the chance last night. I know it was nominated for a slew...

A classic for its bold style, editing and performances. A pull no punches (no pun intended) look at the world of boxing and the story of Jake LaMotta. I gotta admit I am a big fan of boxing movies,...
