Raging Bull is a movie that’s really grown on me over the years. I saw
it first at about eleven, and being a Rocky fan it was a bit different to what
I expected. It was about seven-eight years till I saw it again and was fully
convinced of its greatness. There was a time when I saw a lot of my own
self-destructive tendencies in Robert De Niro’s Jake La Motta, and the movie as
a whole was important in me gaining a greater understanding of myself and my
anger management. Notwithstanding that personal connection, you have an artist
in Martin Scorsese who put his whole heart and soul into this movie, which in it’s
architecture, from acting to cinematography to editing to writing to all the
many many different things it does to you, hits every single point to absolute
perfection.
