this one has it all

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2009)

The photography in this film is just triple A+ , for example the intro scene, in the ring... wow stuff like that makes me quiet.. so beautiful... The overall attention to detail, and the fantastic b/w contrast ... pff visual orgasm for me!
I think also the fact that movies today rely to much on f/x and million-dollar camera moves, that sometimes the story ( or message as you will ) doesn't come through like it should. That's definitely not the case with Raging Bull. I heard some great stories on how Scorsese filmed the boxing scenes, apparently they literally took days to shoot just 1 scene, because in those days, filming POV from the opponent was never seen before ( or so they say ; )
Also, it's just a great film, with a great de Niro!!
