Raging Bull

Raging Bull
When Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing ring and obliterates his opponent, however he also treats his family and friends the same way, and he has a short temper and can go crazy at any moment. Though LaMotta wants his family's love, something always seems to come between them. It’s because of his violent bouts of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life, he is loosing his family and friends.
Raging bull wouldn’t be the first contemporary noir film but it still uses examples of film noir characteristics. The plot is similar to Body and Soul (1947) and is considered as one of the greatest boxing films ever made.
