Raging Bull








Raging Bull




Talk about sports movies we can not miss Raging Bull. It is a great a movie talk about World middleweight boxing champion Jake La Motta’s life, Raging Bull is a 1980 American movie directed by Martin Scorsese. This is Martin Scorsese’s representative. Its great reputation, so we think of sports movies, you think of it. It is no exaggeration to say that: it is a landmark there, after making all sports movies are overshadowed.
Raging bull is a 1980’s movie, but they used black and white film, this is the magic of the film. It shows the 50’s social, show a man how self-destruction and self-redemption. Sports film common theme, but in this film is not old-fashioned.
This is a biographical film, black and white film, flashback, some boring, but extraordinary blood. Contradiction has always been kind of beautiful. To some extent: this is not a movie, because it goes beyond the film, it can go beyond the emotional film, in-depth heart.


Jake La Motta tempestuous, after he yield Mafia and lose a game, his life start changes. After twice divorce, fight with his brother, poor and lonely, from a great boxer become a club talk show clown, the story is simple but cruel.
From start, movie become grey, violence around whole movie. Jake start fight with his rival on the ring and audience start fight; Jake’s brother punch his son and wife; Jake always punch his wife and almost kill his brother. Always is violence.
“Raging Bull” inexplicable anger. So use punch to solute.





And Jake become old.
Young Jake warm-up on the boxing ring and he is supercilious. He is shouting:“You can’t take me down, you never take me down.” Old and fat Jake get ready to do talk show, and he said:“give me a ring, I can still fight, but I’d like to recite poems.”.

Jake always punch his wife, keep telling her kill her and then apologize, ask her to stay. He is vent, Raging bull is roar. But except roar, bull can’t fight any more.
At the end Jake sell his gold belt to pay his recognizance. This is his most important things, for his own life he have to sell it.
Young Jake is a bastard, a violence bastard, everything use fist to solute. And when his is old, he knows everything, as the end of the movie finally Jake found his brother, finally he knows he was a monster before, so he repent.
A happy ending, isn’t it?

There are some lines are very good.
Jake La Motta: Go get 'em, champ Jake La Motta: I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss... I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss.
When movie finished there are two lines.
So, for the second time, the Pharisees summoned the man who had been blind and said: "Speak the truth before God.We know this fellow is a sinner." "Whether or not he is a sinner, I do not know," The man replied. "All I know is this: Once I was blind and now I can see."
