During an unexpected trip, he met the beautiful girl Vicky (Kathy Moratti), his soul was deeply attracted by this 15-year-old girl, after experiencing some things, he finally won a beautiful love with a simple and even a little violent personality, and began a happy and sweet life.

Love is sweet, but the constant setbacks and disasters in his career make Jack LaMotta miserable. Helplessly, Jack LaMotta bowed his head, he agreed to the arrangement of the ** party, and deliberately lost a match, this compromise allowed him to finally fulfill his dream of becoming a boxing champion, and also ushered in the peak of his career and love.

Speaking of Martin Scorsese, his first successful work should be "Taxi Driver", for Lao Ma, the biographical film "Raging Bull" still has not departed from the "Citizen Kane" model, and still adopts the method of "sandwiching and discussing" to structure the film, using time as the skeleton of the film, taking the boxing match in which the boxing champion Mota participated as the "meat", and using Mota's emotional experience as the marrow to tell people the real Mota in the boxing arena, thus extending the complexity of human life. At the same time, the film also tells us not to just think about work, because that's not all you have.

Documentary mode – a biographical film with realistic techniques.

Documentary is a film mode with real recording as the main means, which is to look at the world, the people around us, and the development of society from an angle similar to people's eyes. Since it reflects a situational problem, it is inevitable to use a third-party perspective to excavate.

Whether it is Lao Ma's "Raging Bull" or "The King of Comedy" or even his early work "The Last Waltz", it shows a strong third-person perspective observation, that is to say, in this kind of film, the objective lens is dominant, and the subjective lens is very rare, and it is not judged from the perspective of the protagonist, but is quietly observed from the sidelines, and tracked and determined with the development of events. <>

Of course, De Niro's performance is also the highlight of this film, the seemingly real boxing match is completely the true reproduction of the boxer, and the complex character has made the boxing champion Motta, and also made De Niro, because he knows that only by fully entering Mota's world can he complete Lao Ma's movie, and he pursues a real film performance style, which makes Lao Ma's biographical film more vivid. In terms of editing, montage editing, and fast editing are used in boxing to enhance the intense and tense atmosphere, and to restore the reality as much as possible, in fact, this method can be found in the documentaries produced by Discovery, National Geographic Channel and the BBC. In the BBC's "History of Britain" and "Roman Empire", there are many ways to reproduce the scenes, which have extremely high requirements for the set and actors' costumes, and sometimes the quality of these documentaries may be more complex and cumbersome than these famous films.

Journalism requires a true reflection of facts, and realistic movies require a true reflection of people and life. The former is not allowed to create, and the latter can add its own things, because the director's choice of the plot and the grasp of the scene are a kind of creation.
