Raging bull-Memorable movie moments

Raging bull remains a masterpiece of cinemotagraphy,style and acting. Director martin scorsese believed it to be his last film and so he spent overtime editing it and getting every minute right. It really shows.

In this memorable moment, Jake la motta is facing his long time rival Sugar ray robinson for the title. While he begins to fight well at first, troubles in his personal life begin to haunt him and he allows sugar ray robinson to pummel him with no regard for his health or his title. The most memorable parts of this moment is Jake defiance towards the end as he mocks sugar ray for not being able to knock him down, the short sharp shots that almost represent the different punches and the pace of the fight and the imagery as the blood pours from the ropes right at the end.

Special mention should also go to both robert de niro and joe pesci who gave amazing performances, especially de niro who put on vasts amounts of weight to become the older overweight la motta towards the end of the film.
