Comments on: Raging Bull http://www.artofthetitle.com/2008/12/12/raging-bull/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:03:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Frame Films http://www.artofthetitle.com/2008/12/12/raging-bull/comment-page-1/#comment-453 Frame Films Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:31:33 +0000 http://www.artofthetitle.com/?p=829#comment-453 hmm lets see, it's obvious that "Raging Bull" is the story and the life journeys of Jake LaMotta, an entertainer. I think this does not relate to the fight, or the event thats happening, or the calm before the match, or how he feels before the fight, it's the understanding of the fighter, through what is acceptable to us, I mean he is accepted, to put on a show, to go in rage, to fight and hurt another man. the movie truly shows and analyzes a LaMotta that we can not accept, we can not agree with, he is a "nut-case", a "woman hitter", self destructive mess, but when he steps into the ring, he has all the characteristics of a fighter, the insane man looks pleasing to the eye, sort of like the music that matches with his movements, he is the man the hour, his portraits valuable. in this shadow sparing, he fights not the opponent but himself, his demons, and his ready to put on a show for us. :) hope that makes some sense hmm lets see, it’s obvious that “Raging Bull” is the story and the life journeys of Jake LaMotta, an entertainer.

The comparison with To Kill A Mockingbird is an interesting one. Very stark. And I had never thought about the flashbulbs. It would be interesting to see those photos. And yet, it's more interesting not to see them. Excellent write-up. The comparison with To Kill A Mockingbird is an interesting one. Very stark. And I had never thought about the flashbulbs.

[side note: my brother found a curious link to this sequence in the godfather part iii, with the camera flashes, the cavalleria rusticana intermezzo, the "dance" and all. look for it just after the death of sofia coppola.] thnx also for the audio files. this is my single favourite title sequence of all time. watching it almost along with the set-up’s makes it even more beautiful.
