	Jake LaMotta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LaMotta met two challengers (Tiberio Mitri and Laurent Dauthuille) and beat them, and then he was challenged by Robinson on their rivalry's sixth fight.
		In 1953, LaMotta shocked the sports world when he was called to testify by the FBI in the hearings they were holding against some mafia groups.
		LaMotta said during the hearing, perhaps not realizing that he was also harming his own image, that he had thrown the fight in 1948 with Billy Fox in exchange for a shot against world champion Cerdan.

	Raging Bull (1980)
		This is fertile territory for LaMotta, as portrayed in this semi-faithful biography, for he is as violent outside of the ring as he is within it.
		A thoroughly dangerous and undisciplined man, LaMotta is not someone you'd generally wish to approach yet De Niro draws you in by the sheer power of his acting.
		LaMotta remains a void, an enigma fuelled by a passionate rage.

	TNMC Movie Reviews by SportsRant.net: Raging Bull
		LaMotta narrates his own story from a modern day perspective, and the movie plays out as a series of flashbacks, beginning at a time when LaMotta ended his first marriage and re-married the local babe Vickie, played by Cathy Moriarty.
		He and Joey are a part of the Little Italy that the director Scorsese grew up with, and with that as a back drop and Jake and Joey's verbal sparring, you can understand easily how the stereotypes of the region are made.
		While Joey isn't afraid to stand up to Jake because he is his brother, Jake's wife Vickie also has no fear facing the fighter, and the conflict that the two experience is one of the most uneasy relationships I've witnessed in film.

	Raging Bull
		For Scorsese, the life of LaMotta was like an illustration of a theme always present in his work, the inability of his characters to trust and relate with women.
		From the time he first sees her, as a girl of 15, LaMotta is mesmerized by the cool, distant blond goddess, who seems so much older than her age, and in many shots seems taller and even stronger than the boxer.
		Blows are underlined by thudding impacts on the soundtrack, and Scorsese uses sponges concealed in the gloves and tiny tubes in the boxers' hair to deliver spurts and sprays of sweat and blood; this is the wettest of boxing pictures, drenched in the fluids of battle.

		Joey does so, repeatedly, and leaves his ring on thereby cutting Jake with each new punch.
		Throughout the film, he beats his wife (played expertly and convincingly by the 19-year-old Cathy Moriarty), convinced that she is cheating on him, and that is more or less what the film is truly about.
		LaMotta has a close relationship with Joey, his brother, and their interaction is often what elevates the film above others of its genre.

		Giacobbe La Motta (born July 10, 1921), better known as Jake LaMotta, aka 'The Bronx Bull', is a former boxer who was world middleweight champion and whose life was as controversial outside the ring as it was inside it.
		De Niro gained about 60 pounds during the shooting of the film, to play the older, corpulent, broken-down LaMotta in the scenes of LaMotta's later life.
		Another plane crash would affect LaMotta's life in 1998, when his son, Joseph LaMotta, a noted chef, died in the Swissair flight that crashed in Nova Scotia, Canada.

		The film shows how LaMotta turned his fears into the physical energy needed to become a champion, while destroying his private life.
		When Jake asks Joey, “Did you f*my wife?” Scorsese didn’t think that Pesci’s reaction was strong enough so he asked DeNiro to say, “Did you f* your mother?” Scorsese also did not tell Pesci that the script called from him to be attacked.
		Although only a few minutes of boxing scenes appear in the movie, they were so precisely choreographed that they took six weeks to film.

	Astro-Noetics.com :: The Uranus Film
		As reviewer Michael Thomas comments, Raging Bull is a film "with imagination and life, revealing the thunder, sensitivity, and artistry of a director on a continuous creative high."(7) Indeed, as the natal chart suggests, Martin Scorsese was experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime Uranus transit conjuncting his natal Sun.
		As Scorsese was receiving the powerful conjunction from Uranus to his Sun, De Niro was receiving a square transit from Uranus to his natal Sun.
		The complexity, subtly, and searing intensity that De Niro brings to the role of LaMotta was truly a once-in-a-lifetime performace, mirrored by his once-in-a-lifetime Uranus square Sun transit.

	Raging Bull
		In examining the rise and fall of Jake LaMotta, boxing's middleweight champ from 1949-1951, Scorsese, De Niro and their collaborators subverted the long-standing conventions of the sports biopic that a great athlete has to be depicted as a good person.
		His brother/handler Joey (Joe Pesci) essentially has his hands full keeping the volatile Jake in line, while keeping the local mob that wants to be guiding Jake's career at bay.
		With Joey no longer in his corner, Jake loses his title to Robinson in 1951, and is out of the sport within three years.

	Anne Carlini - Exclusive Magazine - DVD Reviews
		Overview: Martin Scorsese's brutal fl-and-white biography of self-destructive boxer Jake LaMotta was chosen as the best film of the 1980s in a major critics' poll at the end of the decade, and it's a knockout piece of filmmaking.
		In fact he would probably add that the film pales in comparison to the sort of lunk-headed jerk he was with his first wife, Vickie (Cathy Moriarty).
		Joe Pesci, who at this point in his career had almost decided that acting was not for him, establishes an indelible light as Joey LaMotta that would continue to burn in his many works since this one - both with and without Scorsese.

		Opening with the spectacle of the over-the-hill La Motta (Robert De Niro) practicing his 1960s night-club act, the film flashes back to 1940s New York, when Jake's career is on the rise.
		Despite pressure from the local mobsters, Jake trusts his brother Joey (Joe Pesci) to help him make it to a title bout against Sugar Ray Robinson the honest way; the Mob, however, will not cave in.
		Jake gets the title bout, and blonde teenage second wife Vickie (Cathy Moriarity), but success does nothing to exorcise his demons, even as he channels his rage into boxing.

		Playing the life of boxer Jake LaMotta forced actor Robert DeNiro ("Meet the Fokkers") to gain 60 lbs.
		This film is one of the most visceral cinematic boxing experiences you'll ever get and should be seen on the BIG SCREEN if at all possible (shot in glorious Black and White).
		Director Martin Scorsese ("The Aviator") raised the bar for boxing films and showed that Irwin Winkler's 'colorful' "Rocky" movie four years earlier was an 'entertainment' piece compared to boxer LaMotta's brutal defiance to never take a fall while never winning a championship.
