Boxer's Doubt

From "Sunny Day" to "Country Rider," and then from "Country Rider" to "Raging Bull." Second time watching. When I watch it for the first time, it is more likely that I want to fall into self-movement, and it also brings strong self-doubt. Before the second reading, I have read some interpretations and comments. Therefore, it's not really original and it's all my own ideas. It's more of what others say, and the main reference comes from Jiang Wen. Jack LaMotta's boxing is not the focus of attention, but more about his doubts about the people around him, his doubts about his wife, his younger brother, and his unruly life. Feeling this kind of doubt, being sensitive and skeptical, that's my characteristic. The brutality behind this suspicion also resonates in my experience. The unruly and violent towards life caused him to be abandoned by the people around him; I am also very injustice, why should I abandon him? Ultimately reconciling with life, with yourself, and being a little more tactful is the best way to solve problems. This is the answer given by the movie. It seems to be faintly felt. The more withdrawn and unruly, the easier it is to hurt those close to you, and it is also yourself who is hurt. But it seems to be another process. do not know.

    An angry, paranoid, and worldly bull. When the whole world stood on the right, he kept to the left, becoming a lunatic who refused to kitsch in the world. With regard to love, he is too narrow and irrational, doubts everything, despise everything, but I dominate. At the end, the years have accumulated, and the dust has settled before I understand, once I was blind but now I can see, see through the truth...

    This is the best boxing movie I've ever seen. Or rather, the film is about a person and a portrayal of that era.
