Raging Bull
Directed by Martin ScorseseWhen Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing ring and obliterates his opponent, he's a prizefighter. But when he treats his family and friends the same way, he's a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment. Though LaMotta wants his family's love, something always seems to come between them. Perhaps it's his violent bouts of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life he winds up in the ring alone.

- mickerdooJuly 10, 2025Almost hard to watch tragedy. Jealousy enveloped him to the point of self destruction. De Niro, Moriarty and Pesci are great.
- cultfilmlikerJuly 8, 2025I’m too high for this level of paranoia I forgot he even had a brother by the end! Also the overlap with On The Waterfront is odd! Budd Schulberg (the traitor) had to have known who Jake La Motta was when writing the story! All of the parallels / coincidences / ironies of De Niro giving the On The Waterfront speech are fucking with me hard. Him and Brando both won TWO Oscars for playing the same characters!? 🤯 He was truly following in Brando’s footsteps! So strange and funny! Oldest 15 year old I’ve ever seen! 40 years later and Marty still refuses to cast two people for the same character e.g. The Irishman Paul Schrader is such a romantic!
