I originally came here for boxing because I have been crazy about boxing recently, but this movie is more about the love and hatred of the protagonist La Mota, but these love and hatred made me think deeply. Seeing La Mota's extremely sensitive and capricious temperament, it seems that I have seen some of my own shadow. I think that I am also a little sensitive and impermanent, so I want to stroke how the protagonist La Mota died, and use the negative textbook to wake up myself. Bar. In La Mota's world, apart from Vicki who has always loved him, it seems that there is only Joey, his own brother, they are La Mota's family, the most important people to La Mota. La Motta is too sensitive and often suspects that Vicky is unfaithful. Although Vicky has never done anything to apologize to him, it is that Vicky has always endured La Mota's many bad things to him. When La Motta sat at home with Joey, Vicky returned home, and she and Joey greeted each other. At this time, La Motta knew that Vicky had been out drinking with other men before. It happened to be seen by Joey and stopped, and Joey beat the man violently. He asked Joey why he didn’t tell himself the truth. Joey just wanted to let La Mota focus on the game because he didn’t want this to affect him, so he told La Mota that it was their private. Grievances, and La Mota has never understood others. After the two quarreled, La Motta had a ridiculous suspicion that Joey and his wife had gotten together. Joey couldn’t accept his brother’s doubts about him. After a meal of accusations, he left. Joey criticized La Mota for being right. La Mota was totally unable to get along with him. All the problems were with La Mota. At that time, La Mota was just a mental patient, and staying with him was like being abused in a mental hospital. After Joey left, La Mota turned around and replaced the victim of her abuse with Vicki who was upstairs. At this time, Vicki never expected that La Mota would be so ridiculous, and she would suspect that she was engaged with his brother. On it. Vicky knew that she and La Motta couldn't tell, and she didn't want to explain such unfounded suspicion, simply said that she had slept with everyone, and the whole street below. , This La Mota was also angry, and went to his brother's house without thinking about it, and then he beat poor Joey to fat, and even beat Vicky. Since then, he has lost his brother and almost lost his wife. This Vicky really loves him too. Facing such a capricious La Mota, La Mota has a meal to save him, and Vicky still chooses to stay. Without the company of his younger brother, La Motta still had a brief period of highlight in his boxing career, and then he was more and more depressed until he reluctantly chose to retire. After retirement Thinking of living a happy family life with Vicki and her children, but was caught in the feasting and feasting again, La Motta’s romantic history outside made Vicki really leave him with her children and give it back to herself. Brought to prison. He became a homeless person. In the dark cell, La Mota collapsed. He was regarded as a dangerous beast by everyone. He cried and screamed while slamming the wall with his fist and forehead. Why. Yes, from success to nothing, all of this was done by himself.

    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

    9/10. Revisiting, the first act alludes to the source of anger. Jack warms up alone on the court, waving his fists and moving his pace. The thick rope in the foreground is extremely powerful and symbolizes the Mafia behind the scenes. This unfair order implies Jack's dictatorship. Violent personality, after being unfairly judged, chairs thrown under the boxing ring, popcorn flying all over the sky, exclamation, stampede, the American national anthem hurriedly sounded, and when the throne of boxing was lost, the fog surrounding Robinson's image became terrifying. The clip vividly accesses the slow motion of Jack being hit on the head and dripping with blood and sweat. Contradictions and chaos affect Jack’s life. When his wife says hello to other men, he will be questioned. Scorsese uses the inequality of composition. Relationships, mirrors that expand the space, broken TV props, and the characters' restless emotions, to interpret the family quarrel scene where Jack asks his brother to slap him in the face, suspects his wife's infidelity, and misunderstands his brother, showing the family’s helplessness and Jack’s self-destruction and loss of faith. Jack asked himself in pain, and slammed desperately against the wall in prison. The once strong boxing champion was forced to live in the club to flatter him. The bull who did not want to bow his head finally learned to ask for forgiveness.
