Jake Lamotta Punches CB Out

Saturday night rolls around and I ask my best Gal what she’d like to watch?  “Raging Bull” she says.  I love that Gal!  So we spent the night with a certified wack job, basket case, fucking screwball. CB has seen this film a couple times and watching it again didn’t diminish his love for this movie.

Violent, abusive, realistic, uncensored and beautifully made.  It’s a tough subject because Jake Lamotta was a tough guy.  This was when CB was digging Scorsese’s work.  DeNiro, Pesci and Moriarty are a winning trifecta if you like messed up relationships.

This movie was made for black and white cinematography. This is not just a great boxing film but a great film period.  Right from the top with Lamotta dancing in the ring you know this is going to be a good one.  No punches pulled in this film.  Man do I love that Gal of mine.  No romantic comedy’s for her.  Well this kinda is a love story…..

See y’all in a couple weeks at the Drive In.
