Raging Bull (Scorcese, 1980)
- Raging bull was first screened in 1980 in black and white; it follows the stock plot of a working class masculine man becoming extremely successful inside the ring; however it also covers issues outside the ring where he struggles to control his emotions when it comes to relationships and his family.
- I feel as though Raging Bull started a long list of films that follows a similar plot of the protagonist prevailing at the end of the film. The genre appeals to a large audience and I feel must have influenced the creation of other successful boxing related films such as the rocky series.
- I feel Robert De Nero plays a very good role through out the film of being a tough American/Italian fighter in which the general public can relate to as he portrays certain heroic characteristics whilst boxing.
