Robert De Niro and the art of film making

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2011)

Martin Scorsese,what can one say after watching this.Terrific direction and just terrific character build up.Scorsese always is a director who leaves his mark.Robert De Niro is just like god in acting.What performances he shows.Not to forget Jo Pesci who is totally special.The movie revolves around a professional middleweight boxer who wins everything professionally but on the personal front his life is a struggle.The movie shows as he wins by aggression in the ring,the same aggression outside it leads to his contemplation and isolation.The movie shows the life events of his first fights till his last.Kepping in loop the sequences in his personal life.The name Raging Bull just fits De Niro or rather the role Jake La Motta.Jake who actually tells his life struggle in the ring & outside it.Fabulous.Someone wrote that all young film makers should see this to learn flawless direction.One think i know from Scorsese after watching this,he is a great filmmaker who is flawless....both in direction as well as in thinking........great work....
