A psychological drama with strong punches.

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2019)

Intense shots of a sublime technical aspect manage to captivate with more than enough the feeling and the psychological context of this fantastic drama that with strong blows to the liver shows us the crude life of a boxer from its beginnings to its end.
Raging Bull is another of Scorsese's great works, one that, obviously, does not lack the technical and masterful genius of his shots. Beautiful, sincere and direct, the quality of the angles allow to appreciate with great intrigue the psychology of the protagonist. By showing the film in black and white, it manages to capture a different, dark and raw atmosphere through the presentation of a violent and paranoid story.
With the fantastic performances should not say much, each actor manages to deliver their lines and emotions with a unique touch, showing human and defective in front of the cameras. The film can be considered a magnificent work of psychological study, where the main quality is found in the character and the perspective we have of him. Although it has a somewhat slow progress, with scenes that feel longer than they should be, probably because it is a biographical film, this does not present a direct objective, a goal or motivation, which makes the structure of the film feel slightly like a documentary.
Raging Bull is a strong Drama, which is introduced to us with very interesting personalities that let us analyze them with a great passion. That's the reason why I considered it a high quality psychological drama.
