Score: 10 out of 10 Video and Presentation Raging Bull is presented in 1.85:1 widescreen using the AVC MPEG-4 codec on a dual-layered BD50 disc. CLICK HERE to read the full Raging Bull review by Jeff Otto. From the perspective of a non-pugilist, Scorsese was able to turn La Motta's life story into not just a boxing film, but into a dissection of a complicated and disturbed man, intricately detailing his rise to the top and subsequently meteoric downfall.
Scorsese didn't get the sport, and wasn't terribly interested until a few years later when he discovered the proper angle from which he could approach the story.
Scorsese was not a fan of the boxing genre when De Niro first came to him with La Motta's novel and thoughts of adapting it into film. So what makes Raging Bull such a classic? It's simple - this is a film where everything went right.
