Nice work AMC, ringing in the first review of Raging Bull. Perfect indeed.

Regarding Wick’s Review
Yep, that’s right. I couldn’t see fit to give the legendary Raging Bull five full beams. Couldn’t get over my disappointment with Cathy Moriarty, so had to apply a half beam haircut.

Perfect Film though, and Perfect Lead Acting by De Niro, no fucking doubt.

But Perfect Movie? Nope.

Regarding MetalJunky5000’s Review
Interesting take, MJ, especially your observation about Scorsese’s rescue from drug dependency as a result of making Raging Bull.

Given that Scorsese’s demons were enabled by the fact that he was a show biz success, perhaps he was using Jake La Motta’s celebrity indulgences as a partial metaphor for his own life.
