Scorsese is a master at putting these stories onscreen, as many of his movies explore the lives of people that aren’t exactly role models. Jake LaMotta is one of those people and Raging Bull is one of those movies. While it may not be the most “rewatchable” work in Scorsese’s filmography, the black and white film about a man’s capacity to self-destruct acted as one of the filmmaker’s most important statements of what film could ultimately aspire to. Raging Bull is not a boxing movie; it’s a film about a man’s inability to cope with his jealousy and anger, completely blinded by his sexual insecurities. The ring is his confession room, the punches he receives his punishment. The best stories are intimate and Raging Bull is no exception. Today we’ll analyze the techniques used to make this classic film so effective and how a movie about self-destructive brutality saved Martin Scorsese’s career and maybe even his own life.
