Raging Bull is about violence. It is a graphic film that uses time and space in and out of the boxing ring to full effect. The celebrated 1940s and '50s boxer, Jake LaMotta (Robert DeNiro), is portrayed here as sleazy, jealous, and brutal; he's an ...read the complete Raging Bull movie review at Long Che Chan

The year 1980 was an interesting one for movies.

Considered by many to be the best film of the 1980s, "Raging Bull" falls short of that extremely high standard. Perhaps you can only go so far with a character study of a brutish man, his selfish wife, and his loudmouth brother.
