During the filming of, Robert De Niro read a novel Jack La Motta's autobiography. The legendary experience of Jack LaMotta was very attractive to Robert De Niro, hoping to put this story on the screen, and recommended the novel to his friend Martin Scorsese. He refused Robert De Niro's request. I always think boxing is a very boring sport. The novel was subsequently transferred to screenwriter Martic Martin. He also thought that the adaptation of the novel was very difficult, but Robert De Niro never gave up on this project. He went to find a well-known producerAnd, the two of them are happy to make another boxing movie. But the premise is that Martin Scorsese agrees to direct. Time has been in repeated turnover for several years. Then Martin Scorsese suffered a huge setback in his career, and De Niro recommended the novel to him again before he agreed.

The tone of strength, irritability, suspiciousness, struggling not to be overthrown, as well as the old age of the strong man. Scorsese and De Niro need not say much. The sound of the fist falling is extremely lifelike. The little Italian who plays the younger brother is really a golden supporting role. When I was interviewed in a private house after retiring and gaining weight, the background music was Blue Velvet.

Disappointed. The role of Jack LaMotta as a boxer is essentially the same as the superman in "New York, New York". Even the so-called "anger" is cheap and shameless. There is nothing particularly tragic or worthy of sympathy. Robert De Niro's acting skills have not been fully utilized. Maybe I was expecting too much? Personally, I feel that it's hard to get under the prestige. Samsung and a half // 20160813 The big screen of China Film Archive. Still don't like it
