One of the best movies ever. The character painted at the end is truly devastating and sad. Also, another thing to note, Lamotta uses the ring as a sort of confessional. When he's angry, he beats the guy up. When he feels he's done wrong, he allows himself to get pumbled. Truly a brilliant idea!
When the real Jake Lamotta trained him for the role he said De Niro was one of the top 10 - 15 boxers he had ever seen and he had a real shot at getting a title belt if he took it seriously.
He actually fought 3 fights while making the movie and won 2 of them
No
lol
One of the greatest films ever made
Good but definitely not greatest for me. Greatest is Hitchcock, lord of the rings, Cinema Paradiso.
Fun fact, the guy who talks to Robert De Niro at the end is Martin Scorsese.
Holy crap I had no idea! Thanks for pointing it out!
2001 A Space Odyssey will blow your mind 1968 Stanley Kubrick at his best.
I prefer Paths of Glory, Spartacus and Barry Lyndon ,
One story I love is one from Lamotta himself.He went to the premiere with Vicki,and he didn't like the way he was portrayed.Her turned to Vicki and asked "was I really that bad?".She just looked at him and said "far worse".
Di Niro put on 50lbs. to play Lamotta in the later scenes. They shot the earlier scenes and the film went into hiatus, as De Niro ate his way through Italy. He then returned to the States to complete the movie. He said that at first, he enjoyed being able to indulge himself, but it soon turned into sheer drudgery. It must have been difficult for him to then lose the weight.
abusing your wife wasn't normal in the 40's, heh. But, these brothers were abusive.
I thought it was
@@cov9290 It wasn't
7:22 the color shots are like a 8mm home film, like we have access to their family souvenirs.
The color clips early on are 8mm home movies like the ones shot on actual cheap film bought at a drug store or whatever. That's how we filmed each other back before video tape and phone cameras. Most of the stuff where you ask "was that normal back then?" wasn't generally accepted. It's just that La Motta is an abnormal character.
I knew it was normal in Eastern Cultures but didn't know whether they were commonplace in the West during that time period.
Please react to The Elephant Man (1980) starring Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt. It is an absolutely heartbreaking movie that’s beautifully made.
Can’t deny the greatness of this movie
The story of Jake LaMotta is a tragedy of rage filled self destruction. What the ending is referring to isn’t faith, rather it’s about insight. It’s about how Jake couldn’t see how he was on his own path of self destruction until it was too late. Whether you feel sympathy for him or not is up to you, but I still found the story heartbreaking because I find it really upsetting to see someone ruin their own life.
You know for a lot of people back then Raging Bull was the first time we'd seen a character drama with a character who's totally unsympathetic. Even to the extent that the story is actually sort of ABOUT that. Scorsese and co were gutsy to take it in that direction. They weren't trying to please a mass audience and it was as personal for Scorsese as it was for DeNiro to have the movie break conventions. For me, all of his filmmmaking career themes about Faith, voilent masculinity and redemption are here defined in the most effective way.
Boxing in incredibly corrupt to this day lol (unfortunate for the sport I love the most in this world) the mob was telling him to take a dive
Someone up their likes me is another true boxing movie that was made in the 50's. I remember liking it.
THANK YOU so much for the recommendation! I consider myself a huge sports film fan and I have NEVER heard of this film before, doesn't usually happen to me. Even if I haven't watched a film I'm usually familiar with the name or director. Thank you again for recommending something I've never even heard of before. Just googled it and I'm adding to my Watch List!
@@ShanWatchesMovies Cinderella man is also a great true boxing movie set in the 30's
@@matthewkleber7992 Another film I haven't got around to watching yet. All I know is it's starting Russell Crowe. So many great films to watch, excited for the channel! Do check out Jaws (1975) and Alien (1979) coming out this week!
Unbelievable that this is the only reaction to "Raging Bull" out there. I just came across a rare reaction to "After Hours", all you Scorsese fans. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/As9U7ifp2bU/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! (PS: He also does "Blue Velvet" on that channel, and some other movies you don't see done very often)
Shan, would you watch the elephant man, if you haven’t already?
In college, I actually got credit for a course called Film Appreciation. Suckers. That was before this movie was even made. But, I'll bet a nickel we would have covered many of the points you did so impressively in your reaction. I could easily pile on with movie suggestions for you. I'll be very selective and recommend To Kill a Mockingbird with Gregory Peck and a very young Robert Duvall in his first movie role. It is substantially different from what you have uploaded so far, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Variety being the spice of life and all that. What it does have in common with your reactions to date is it is universally considered an estimable film. Best. Leo.
To be honest, that is my ultimate goal. But to do that, I feel like I need to grow my audience first. I will be doing more reactions to lesser known Great films soon. I have watched To Kill a Mockingbird, it is an absolute classic! Any recommendations would help though! Thank you again for the compliments and the comments!
@@ShanWatchesMovies I'll have to think a bit about further recommendations taking into consideration your interests, what will please present and potential viewers, and movies you haven't already seen. In the meantime, you should check into Top this or that lists for ideas. You can't swing a metaphor without hitting one online. Start with the AFI website. Haven't looked there lately, but they had top 10 lists for top 10 different genres. Best. Leo.
To Kill A Mockingbird - 💪🏾
12 Angry Men (1957)
Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957)
Nice commentary. Editors often don't get much credit outside the industry. Thelma Schoonmaker won an Oscar for this film. Her work is outstanding. IMO Tarantino's films with his longtime editor Sally Menke are better than the ones he did after her passing.
First off, thank you for the comment! I thought I wasnt familiar with Shchoonmaker's work till I googled her and oh my goodness, turns out I've seen at least a dozen of her movies, so thank you for introducing me to her. I'll be surely checking out more of her work.
Sally Menke on the other hand was a genius. Her quick cuts are what made Tarantino's style so unique. I completely agree with you on her work but I think Quinten made one great film after she passed away, Django. But you can definitely feel the change in style from there on out!
Also, my reaction to Taxi Driver is being uploaded today, do check it out!
@@ShanWatchesMovies Cool! 😊👍
@@ShanWatchesMovies yeah if I'm correct, Shoonmaker has edited every single Scorsese film since Mean Streets (1973)
I literally had no idea! Now that I know a little more about her I'm impressed how much she must have had influenced and impacted Scorsese's filmmaking over the years!
I'm a movie buff and I never got to see this picture until now. DeNiro was impressive! Thanks, Shan for your insight.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You didn't see it
Jake La Motta was a real boxer and a real person. He died some years ago. This was a lacerating biography of his life.
The ending scene of Boogie Nights was taken from this film !
He lived to about 90 and I think his brother is still alive
Glad you do this. Recomendation that no reactor does: Sunset Boulevard 1950. Trust me: you'll be the coolest reactor on TH-cam
Or Double Indemnity 1944
Probably Martin's best film: stunning!
no it wasn't considered normal anytime. La Motta was a monster
Jakes brother was a pro fighter too.
14:05 Filmmaker Samual Fuller suggested to Marty Scorsese that shot putting the camera on the edge of the glove.
Great Movie and great commentary!!!
That age difference happened back then, both of my grandmothers were significantly younger than my grandfathers, however, my one grandmother was around 15 while my grandfather was around 35 and that was very much frowned upon back in the 50's
In the Godfather as Vito is picking oranges and just before being shot there is a poster in the background announcing a fight with Jake Lamatta. Pretty cool 😎 because Deniro was up for the part of Michael Corleone. I wonder if that was a little nod to Deniro. Deniro did Mean streets instead.
Love that this was your first reaction (I just got into the channel). Roger Ebert wrote a "Great Movies" review of it that is fantastic, and provides whatever insights I could give here.
The last fight was called The Saint Valentine's Massacre. The was fought at Comisky Park (White Sox) in Chicago
I don’t feel like Joey actually contacts Jake at the end. I think he just says he will so Jake leaves him the fuck alone.
I wish they thought up the idea of a Stallone Deniro boxing movie fight for Rocky 5. That would have made that movie better. We don’t get a movie like that until Grudge Match when both actors are in t(sir 70s which is way too late. What was Hollywood thinking?
Scorcese's most beautiful film.
For me it's between this and Goodfellas!
@@ShanWatchesMovies Goodfellas is probably the most entertaining, but from a pure visual sense it's gotta be Raging Bull. Maybe it's the black and white film. The slow mo intro. Best shot is the blood dripping off the ring rope after the 3rd Sugar Ray Robinson fight. And the music by Italian classical composers.
@Andrew Reisinger I think you might be right. I confused "most beautiful film" with "most entertaining film"!
Taxi Driver
I think the only other time I've seen Cathy Moriarty.....was when she played Dan Akroyd's hot & flirtatious wife in 'Neighbors'. John Belushi & Akroyd were the stars. A nice dark comedy....Belushi more or less played the straight man. THIS was the original 'Neighbors.....made in 1981. I know there's been another more recent film with the same title, but not sure if it was supposed to be a remake.
Sooo.... this movie takes place mostly in the 1940's...... Sugar Ray Robinson did not appear in this movie playing himself as he was an old man when this was filmed in 1980.
You Might Like The Bronx tale With Chaz Palementari and Robert Deniro
Love this movie. It’s really interesting seeing Wolf of Wall Street after Raging Bull as well, because Wolf of Wall Street is very similar to Raging Bull, almost to the point of being an extremely loose remake. Both are made by Scorsese, both are based off of a true story, they’re both epics that switch through the different years and decades, both focus on morally corrupt characters, and both have a bitter sweet ending where the characters hit an all time low, then try to come back from it, and trying to move on with their lives. Both are outstanding films, and it’s crazy how Scorsese can reuse so many themes and ideas, and create different masterpieces. Although, I kind of like Raging Bull a little bit more.
If u think Cathy was young here, c Great Balls / Fire!
Great Reaction . Raging Bull Was Revolutionary In Terms Of Film Editing . It’s One Of My Favourite Movies Of All Time!!!
Thank you for your comment! It really is a masterpiece in editing and the deliberate choice of Black & White really makes it a timeless film!
Not saying it's right, but the age of consent was puberty from the dawn of man until the late 19th century. In Canada it's still 14.
It was, but it's 16 now.
Hi Shan. In my opinion you are excelent in your apreciations. I strongly recommend you This movies where an actor named Daniel Day Lewis plays My left foot and There will be blood. Excelent movies.
thanks! I've already watched There will be Blood but not My Left Foot. Im aware its the first film for which Lewis won an oscar so I'll definitely be watching it at some point!
Great. I will be pending.
Awsome reaction, I subbed 👍🏼 I’m working on reactions myself
Jake Lamotta G.O.A.T.
You will be one of the best reaction channels just have better instincts on when not to talk, like the montage with LaMotta winning the fights mixed with scenes with him and his family
Shah, just found your channel - great job. If your interested in another movie showing the dirtier side of boxing during its "Golden Age", check out "The Harder They Fall" with Humphrey Bogart. Also, DeNiro didn't wear a fat suit, he really gained like 65 lbs to portray a retired Jake LaMotta.
You're not supposed to sympathize with Lamotta in jail. You're supposed to pity him. Not the same thing. He belongs there, but it's pathetic, so don't feel bad about disliking him at that stage.
Color = home movies...
Deniro gained 30 lbs for this role. Method actors, go figure 🤔 🙄 😏.
Wonderful!
You talk over a lot of the dialogue
Watch Heat By Michael Mann
I've actually watched Heat about 10 years ago. The exchange between Pachino and DeNiro is one of the best written scenes ever. Since its been a decade I've watched the film, will it still count as a 'reaction' if I watch it again? I could do a commentary on the film though. What do you think?
@@ShanWatchesMovies No Because It Wouldn't Give You The Thrills, Try Watching One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
@@srigugansivasubramani4121 great suggestion! I remember watching it with my dad when I was very young. All I remember is Jack Nicholson is a psychiatric patient and a bad orderly called Nurse Ratchet. I don't remember the plot or anything. Adding it to the list, and thanks again!
Shan Watches Movies Eagerly Waiting for reaction 😊
@@srigugansivasubramani4121 this week I have Jaws and Alien lined up. Hopefully next week I can fit it in! I'm currently doing 2 videos a week but I want it to increase it to three once I have my workflow perfected!
You need to watch and react to Sicario.
@@hefdzsyz yo
First Joe Pesci movie.
Wasn't his first. He was retired and was about 30. Scorcese convinced him to come out of retired.
Reaction videos don't get ad revenue?? Is that right? You only make money through Patrons doing react vids?
Honestly, I have no idea. Did a little searching and couldn't find a definite answer. I just crossed 1000 subs and I applied for monetization... We'll find out soon enough. Regardless, I started this channel is to try and document me watching classic films and not for money. Money is a nice bonus to have but it shouldn't be expected from a new youtube channel :)
Shan Watches Movies were you able to get paid?
Why do u talk so much ......u dhould pay atention 2 the movie
Checkout apocalypto!
Wow how could tht be sugarey robinson....hed be an old man. .......u dnt know movies....actors star in movies. ACTORS
I think you're being a bit harsh.
Perhaps Shan should have checked the credits, but it was an honest mistake, and it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that Robinson could have played himself in the film. When "Raging Bull" was made, it had only been 15 years since Sugar Ray retired. Mike Tyson's last bout was in 2005, but with makeup, he could certainly still play himself in a boxing movie.
@@MrVvulf well his career was 1940 to 1965.. .the film came out in 1980..Sugar Ray Robinson was 60 years old....SO HOW WOULD HE BE IN THE MOVIE.......
@@MrVvulf Jonny Barnes plays Sugar Ray Robonson....Hes an actor. .ITS A MOVIE.. .SUGAR RAY died in 89.....
