neutral · AI labelView post →Really worth watching this deeply evocative reflection by Martin Scorsese on the films of Powell & Pressberger, if only to learn how The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp influenced the fight scenes in Raging Bull www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
neutral · AI labelView post →Tatami is a sports corruption drama in the spirit of old "boxing noir" films and "Raging Bull," about an Iranian women's judo team competing with other national teams while Iran's government uses them as proxies in an ideological war. It's excellent. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/tata...
neutral · AI labelView post →"...And yet, like antihero Rupert Pupkin in a waiting room, The King of Comedy refuses to go away." Yes, a great film. I much prefer it to Scorsese's other movie about a bad comic, Raging Bull.
negative · AI labelView post →Q: If you're on a desert island and had to bury 5 DVDs, which would they be? Con: Jaws, Y tu mamá también, Raging Bull, Life of Brian, Sound of Music is the perfect musical film but Wicked is fucking good guys. It's done the impossible - taken something so theatrical and made it work on film.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was thinking how funny it was that the only sports-related movie Scorsese (who famously dislikes sports) ever made - Raging Bull - deliberately de-emphasizes the 'sport' and presents boxing purely as two men beating each other to death for money, with no fondness or admiration whatsoever

neutral · AI labelView post →Recently? Green Book. Of all time? Dances with Wolves. Everyone gets weird about Ordinary People beating Scorsese's Raging Bull, but Ordinary People was a great movie and deserved it. No one ever bitches about Dances with Wolves beating motherfucking GOODFELLAS tho. Fuck DwW for that.

This classic from Marty is so fun & frothy...it never fails to put a smile on my face. 8 Oscar nods. Well deserved DeNiro win. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1134

I was 18 when I trained on Raging Bull and it was my second film in that capacity so my experience and perspective were still pretty limited. So yes, of course I knew Martin Scorsese

The two fall in love and "hate each other". The best movie about prizefighting, even better than Raging Bull. Why? It's fun and there's Errol.

He made a number of classic films with Robert De Niro, including, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Cape Fear, Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Irishman.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have heard interviews with Martin Scorsese where the reporter tries the “‘Raging Bull’ was robbed” prompt, only to have Marty shut it down with “But ‘Ordinary People’ is a great movie.” And Marty had a key cameo in Redford’s “Quiz Show” in 1994.
neutral · AI labelView post →Because you turn into the weird asshole who talks himself into being a Republican trying to find a "theoretical argument" where 'ROCKY IV' is "actually the objectively superior movie" to 'RAGING BULL' and ...no, it isn't. 'RAGING BULL' is better *even though* 'ROCKY IV' rules and I'd rather watch it
positive · AI labelView post →Been down for various reasons. Went to see The Set-Up. Seen it before but never in the cinema. Christ, what a movie. The best boxing sequence on film other than Raging Bull, & that's only because Raging Bull (admittedly) lifts it. Robert Ryan's best, probably.
positive · AI labelView post →One of the very best. RIP RM Guera suggested I watch True Confessions recently. A largely forgotten 1981 Duvall-De Niro double header. De Niro’s great in it - this is the film he does in between Raging Bull and King of Comedy. Peak of powers. But True Confessions is Duvall’s movie. He’s that good.
positive · AI labelView post →It’s odd (and jarring!) that the publicity shot on Prime Video’s page for Raging Bull is a scene from the movie in color.

neutral · AI labelView post →A favorite scene from Raging Bull (1980) - the seamless collaboration between film editor Thelma Schoonmaker #botd and Scorsese- how every cut to Vicky is in slo mo and every cut back to La Motta is in real time to show how he views her as golden conquest.
neutral · AI labelView post →I really don't like Raging Bull at all. I can appreciate the craft of it and the acting, but it's about a pedophile who spends the whole movie treating people like garbage. I found Jake LaMotta irredeemable in it from the jump, like he's the exact opposite of tragic to me.

negative · AI labelView post →Reading a Cahiers du Cinéma collection of Scorsese essays & interviews & amused to learn Thelma Schoonmaker told him the whole Raging Bull crew hated Jake LaMotta & wondered “pourquoi je perdais mon temps à faire un film sur ce raté” (why I was wasting my time making a film about that loser).

neutral · AI labelView post →Happy 85th Birthday to triple Oscar-winner Thelma Schoonmaker, the nimble, artful editor of every Martin Scorsese movie since 1980's Raging Bull. "Editing is a lot about patience and discipline and just banging away at something until you get it to work."
neutral · AI labelView post →Raging Bull (movie) is arguably more of a biography than Jake La Motta's actual biography (also titled Raging Bull). La Motta cut his own brother out of his life story. Paul Schrader, while doing a rewrite of the script, realized that whatever conflict La Motta had with his brother WAS the story.
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #35 Scorsese features on my page regularly - we all have our favourites, whether that's certain films or directors. Raging Bull I tend to watch annually as a reminder to keep my anger at bay. #4K #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Robert Redford with Mary Tyler Moore on the set of Ordinary People, 1980 The still photographer on the set was Marcia Reed. Redford got remarkable performances from MTM, Donald Sutherland & Timothy Hutton, but I'm still mad his film beat out Raging Bull for Best Picture & Best Director (!) Oscars.

There's a lot of black and white movies I like a lot and that are more "important", but Clerks is probably tied with like RHPS as movie I've seen the most times

neutral · AI labelView post →Yes. Scorsese is a big fan of #TheSetup - he did audio commentary for the film's blu-ray release. IIRC, when doing RAGING BULL he went back and studied this film because he didn't want to simply copy it. #TCMParty www.imdb.com/title/tt0041...
