Directed by the genius Martin Scorsese, Raging Bull is a 1980 biopic of the Italian Amerian boxer Jake La Motta. Shot in Black and white, the film was based on the autiobiography of La Motta, titled ‘Raging Bull: My Story’. It stars Roberto De Niro in the central role, with a boxer with a number of self destructive traits. Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty are the other major actors. It is particularly known for its visual style and on-screen violence. De Niro’s performance was sidely praised and he won an Oscar for it. He gained 27 kg weight to portray La Motta in his post-boxing years, which was an extreme dimension of method acting that time.
