What the director said

Regarding the theme, I think Jake here is a once brilliant, but he has fallen into trouble now, but now he has got peace of mind. In the end, he muttered to himself in the mirror, telling himself to face life and other people in life easily. This is the purpose of our filming. Regarding the Bible quoted because I know that Jake is a character that is difficult to interpret, and I know that shooting Jake’s biographical film will definitely arouse criticism and controversy. People are very biased against him, but I think the Bible says don’t take it to others. The judgment is very reasonable, of course I am not preaching, but I can indeed see through this film the crux of Jake. It should be the problem with this character adapted from the Jake prototype. This allows us to better understand the true meaning of life. This is my intention: to see the price of hatred, the price Jake paid. Everyone can have a clearer understanding of the film and the real Jake. About black and white films Because at that time, color film developed for 6 to 12 years will fade in pink and red. After the filming of "New York, New York" I felt that the film was too artificial, too sophisticated, too sophisticated, especially in terms of art director and costumes. It was a beautiful oil painting-like film. Then I realized that I should be 6 years later. Give the audience another feeling. Michael often visited me in New York from 1977 to 1978. In 1978, we started collecting information on "Angry Bull." Robert began to work out for the characters. There were no video tapes at that time, at least not universal. They brought a section. The 8mm home movie "Fist in the Rain" is actually a shot of Robert and his stuntman punching. My assistant and I projected it on the wall and watched it. Michael sat on the ground and watched the 8mm color movie. At that time, we thought the effect was pretty good. After watching it, Michael and I began to discuss the action of the boxing inside. At this time, we have begun to have the prototype of "Angry Bull". Michael said that there was something wrong, because the gloves are red, the color is too bright, I began to consider removing the color of the film, at that time I did not expect to shoot black and white film, I thought it was better to change the gloves to bull blood The color is as dark as brown. Later, when my friend Jim came to visit me, he said that black and white films were also good and could be a great success. Another reason for making this film black and white is that the tone can be enhanced, the nostalgic sense of the times and the solemn atmosphere, and at the same time there are several boxing-themed movies, including "Matilde" and "The Boxer "Kangaroo" "And "Rocky 2, 3" and these films are all color films, so I want to make a different black and white film so that I can stand out. I think the color application that best reflects the true nature of boxing is "Peace" directed by John Ford. "People", the film is very lifelike. When it comes to black and white films, I want to make this film as rigorous as daily news. About the soundtrack The soundtrack of the film is very special and gives us a lot of inspiration. Martin wanted to reflect the life of Jake’s legend. The film company originally wanted to use another version, but we have heard all the versions and none of them can match this version. Breathtaking. The soundtrack we hear now is "The Dead and Cold Bazaar" by Poem Jones. This song was very popular at the time. I originally wanted to use it as the theme song of the film until I decided to adopt Mascari's "Country Knight". The overture is the theme song. After I asked the producer and the editor to listen to both, they agreed with me, so I used the overture of "Country Knight" by Mascari as the theme song, and the charm of this overture is not false. Moaning without illness, but real sadness derived from struggling to survive. The soundtrack of this film is very special and it gave us a lot of inspiration.

    I personally think that the best work of ms has been seen more than five times, and I still remember the sound of punching at the end of the film. That part of the image conveys a certain power beyond words. The irresistibility of Belle Epoque is even more sad, and it is the spirit of the bull to realize it but still wrestle with it. It is the spirit of the bull to think about it.
