In addition to his great gangster masterpieces like GoodFellas – Three Decades in the Mafia and Casino, Martin Scorsese also shone in the sports film sector. The best example of this is his boxing drama Raging Bull, released in 1980 and starring Robert De Niro. If you don’t know the film yet or want to watch it again, you can stream it now on Prime.
Scorsese highlight on Prime: This is the plot of Raging Bull
The story of Scorsese’s film is based on the real life story of boxer Jake La Motta, who is played by De Niro. The director shows the rise of the Italian-American, who was world middleweight boxing champion from 1949 to 1951. In the plot of Raging Bull, La Motta not only has to fight in the ring, but also increasingly gets involved in crime through the machinations of the boxing mafia.
Scorsese’s film once again touches on the gangster film genre, but is also captivating as a thrilling sports biopic full of intense, extremely realistic boxing scenes. Any Rocky fan will also love Raging Bull. At the 1981 Academy Awards, Robert De Niro won Best Actor for his performance in the film.
