Reconcile with yourself

Raging Bull

I think I will always remember this film, as I remember "The Graduate". This is not a happy movie, the protagonist "Mad Cow" La Mota is a hostile guy. In the ring he is the nightmare of all boxers; in the ring he is like a simple kid talking to you happily, but he may knock you to the ground in a blink of an eye. His stubborn resistance to the authority of the gang boss, his all kinds of unreasonable suspicions about his wife, his preferences for beauty and food, all his misfortunes, and the departure of his relatives and friends. Even the audience would not have the slightest pity for him.
This reminds me of Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate", the rigid college student. They all have obvious shortcomings, and they are destined to be defeated by this shortcoming, and they themselves are aware of this. But they did not have the courage to change and restrain themselves. Only when everything was lost did they gain new strength and reached a reconciliation with their relatives and friends (the lover of the graduate, the younger brother of Mad Cow) and themselves (the last scene, La Mota speaking in the mirror).
When we are angry, when we betray others, they become our mirror. What is reflected is our same expression of fear and helplessness. Are we able to reconcile with ourselves?

    I have a deep understanding of what it means to be a director who "cannot talk about myself without mentioning ten other directors". Each shot is carefully designed, and you can see dozens of other directors... and they are fusion very well. Xicosese really made me very helpless: Although it felt like he was holding a knife on his neck and making me love his movie as a fan, I just looked at him with sincere eyes. I think, yes, I still love your movie~

    When the struggle becomes flesh and blood, life is so cruel that it is impossible to face it. Robert De Niro is as unruly as this proud bull. Martin Scorsese's processing of black and white films emphasizes the essence of the whole film.
