The entire film is almost entirely black and white, and I think that's where Scorsese's mastery can be seen. As a boxing film, black and white can't fully express the bloody violence and passion, but Scorsese is able to restore the crazy kind of boxing match through clever editing, proper close-ups and lighting. Tension and excitement. In addition, I think the reason why the director went so far in using black and white tones is that he didn't want the intense boxing match to distract the audience too much, because he wanted to present the brilliant and lonely life of a boxer. At the end of the film, I was a little confused when I watched "The Bible", but I was thinking, "A boxer won't die, he will just grow old silently."
