Blog Pick Week #31
Some directors come along and make great movies. Some come along and make movies that last forever and become classics. Most people have seen or at least heard of this film. Our pick is the 1980 Academy Award winning film by Martin Scorsese, "Raging Bull".
"Raging Bull" tells the tumultuous story of boxer Jake La Motta. From his illustrious boxing beginnings and all the way down to his fall from grace. Jake La Motta (played by Robert De Niro) not only battled in the ring, but had struggles at home. Marital issues and tension with his own brother and friends, made a recipe for disaster.
Robert De Niro gives one of the greatest acting performances, not only in his career, but in cinema history. In addition "Raging Bull" is considered one of the greatest movies of all time. According to The American Film Institute it came in at #4. An amazing bit of film making, Martin Scorsese proves with "Raging Bull" why he is one of the best directors ever.
"Raging Bull" is a triumph and a movie that every person should see. Whether you have seen it before or not, watch "Raging Bull". Until next time happy viewing.
