Raging Bull

[mank!]

There are some absolutely beautiful shots in this film. Fucking brilliant.

Not a bad film either tbh!

Yes a classic.

Am watching Ali right now and am pleasantly suprised at Will Smith's performance.

Although I am still bored.

Shame Ali was a cheating cunt.

Hey mank!, if you like Raging Bull, make sure you watch 'The King of Comedy', another Scorcese/DeNiro film. Very much underrated, really good film, lots of political stuff going on behind the scenes, which only makes the film better.

Raging Bull was a box office flop, which helped put Scorcese in the frame of mind he was in while directing tKoC.

 

[mank!]

I'm going to try and get hold of all the Scorsese/De Niro films.

I have to say I didn't like this film. Not because of the quality of the acting or direction, just I was totally turned off by the main characters who seemed so utterly loathsome and stupid I wasn't sure how to respond to it. Are you supposed to be supportive of Robert DeNiro's character or what? Because it seemed impossible.

When he was fighting (umm can't remember his name white english boxer) and was loosing quite badly his coach ripped his glove with a razor blade to give ali time to recover. The other boxer (cooper someone?) always maintained he 'wus robbed' so much so that it became his catch-phrase.

Henry Cooper MBE.

I can't believe you don't know him?

His catchphrase in the 1970's was "Splash it all over" from a series of piss poor adverts for Brut 33, the aftershave of pikeys.

Heh erm...thanks

I quite enjoyed Ali btw but couldn't stop thinking about Michael Mann (director) and bloody Miami Vice - soundtrack was too obtusive and a few too many "gaze into the beyond to look thoughtful shots".

When We Were Kings is pure class, totally recommend that if you want to see a boxing flick (documentary of the Rumble in the Jungle in Zaire '74, Foreman vs Ali).

I liked this film a lot, Pesci has a habit of spazzing out on people.

And slamming their head in car doors :E
