One of the Most Appropriately Titled Films Ever!!!

Rating: Null/10 (1 March 2003)

What "Raging Bull" is for me stands up right there in the title. I don't dig on boxing and don't really get the whole appeal. Still, however, "Raging Bull" nearly uses the boxing as a subtext for the true story within the film, as I had hoped. It's about the psychological and emotional and physical fights that occur outside of the ring for Jake for his entire career. Robert DeNiro kicks some major butt in one of his best roles. For those folks who have trouble with black and white movies (of any decade, considering "Schindler's List"; "Elephant Man"; "Clerks"; "Stranger Than Paradise", among others)... for them I shall suggest "Raging Bull" to change their mind.
