Angry Bull-a video that is a bit unclear

Randy 2022-03-22 09:01:13

Boxer Jack Lamotta is burly and agile, nicknamed the "Bull". After a life-threatening boxing match, he has to be controlled by his boss behind the scenes; he has to eat moderately and keep training in order to maintain his position in boxing. His temperament is getting more and more withdrawn, his temper is getting more and more irritable, and he seems to be forgiven; however, sometimes he simply loses his mind and beats his wife and his brother who is his agent. Although he won the title of boxing champion, he saw through the darkness of boxing, deliberately lost the defending battle and withdrew from boxing. His wife took the child away from him. He was alone as the manager of a club, but he was able to deal with it calmly. He took the initiative to rebuild his relationship with his younger brother, but he remained indifferent for the rest of his life. The film material must be taken from reality. There is such a prototype, and it also has positive meaning to truly expose the dark side of society and the weakness of human nature, but it is not clear what I want to say.

    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.
