Fantastic Film!

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2012)

Raging Bull is one of the best movies Martin Scorcese has made. This is also one of the best dramas I have ever seen. I think it deserved more than the two Oscars it won. At least Robert DeNiro got his well-deserved Oscar. Despite this film being about a boxer and that there were boxing scenes in this movie, this movie is not a sports movie.
This movie is very much about a guy, Jake La Motta, who is one of the best boxers out there. Despite the unrealistic boxing, this movie shows what kind of character Jake is. It shows how he is emotionally unstable and how he destroys the lives of the ones he loves including his brother and wife.
The acting is just out-of-this-world. This is the finest acting performance I have ever seen Robert DeNiro do. Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty deliver very strong performances as well.
This movie shows why Martin Scorcese is one of the greatest directors ever in cinema. He proves that by making movies such as this and Taxi Driver.
Overall, I really loved this film even though I am not a fan of black and white. I rate this film 10/10.
