The Best Movie of the 80's

This 1980 classic has the best screen performance ever given by any actor in any movie. Robert DeNiro doesn't act in this movie. He becomes the character. Its a movie about sexual frustations, jealousy, lonliness, and alienation. This is Scorsese's best movie. In his earlier film "Taxi Driver", Scorsese examined lonliness and alienation and he does the same here. The main character in Raging Bull, Jake LaMotta alienates himself from everyone, including his own family. He distances himself from his loyal brother(Played brilliantly by Joe Pesci)and his wife(Cathy Moriarty) Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin get writing credits for the movie, and not to take anything away from them, but I know Raging Bull was created by none other than Scorsese and DeNiro. The camera moves brilliantly and it has the best fight sequences ever filmed. All in all, a terrific movie that was denied many Oscars that it truly deserved. |
