Simply put, RAGING BULL is one of American cinema's masterworks. Hard to believe that it has been 30 years since Robert De. Cinematographer Michael Chapman shoots the film with a stylish flair that fills the boxing scenes with boundless energy and adds immediacy to the arguments that erupt whenever Jake is outside the ring. Blu-Ray Review: RAGING BULL 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION - What Classics Should Aspire To. Pesci is just as intense as Joey, who finally realizes that he is unable to tame his animalistic brother. As the out-of-control fighter, De Niro delivers one of the screen's most unforgettable performances. That release was loaded with wonderful extras, not to mention a terrific transfer and decent, though muted, 5.1 DTS-HD audio. Irrational jealousy over Vickie, as well as an insatiable appetite, sends him into a downward spiral that costs him his title, his wife, and his relationship with Joey. Raging Bull actually saw a Blu-ray release in February of 2009.
Jake's inability to express his feelings pours out in the ring and eventually takes over his life in his dealings with his brother, Joey (a brilliant Joe Pesci). As La Motta rises through the ranks to earn his first shot at the middleweight crown, he falls in love with Vickie (Cathy Moriarty), a gorgeous girl from his Bronx neighborhood. Shooting in a crisp black and white, Scorsese tells the story of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, played with incredible intensity by Oscar winner Robert De Niro. With RAGING BULL, Martin Scorsese's personal approach to filmmaking is taken to a whole new level.
