Thanks to Robert De Niro's devotion to the art of acting - and his role as an unlikable sports figure - the film became a great contribution to cinema. In fact, the director only understood how to turn LaMotta's story into an interesting and compelling film after a nearly life-ending experience. The film's behind-the-scenes stories are as turbulent as LaMotta's moods, with several different writers drafting rejected scripts and contending with Scorsese's years-long disinterest in the project.
Many years of hard work went into finding the heart of his story, and some believe the film manages to create empathy for a man whose life was full of anger and malice - even outside of the ring.
Considered by many to be Martin Scorsese's best film - and one of the best films of all time - Raging Bull has won multiple Academy Awards for relaying the story of boxer Jake LaMotta. Though Raging Bull is a movie about a boxer, it isn't a boxing movie.
