At mere mention, "Raging Bull" instantly conjures these images in our minds. However, each return visit to Martin Scorsese's masterpiece always triggers new insights, new feelings towards the unflinching character study he and star Robert De Niro created so memorably 30 years ago.

As soon as you start to sympathize with him, he'll abuse his wife; as soon as you think you hate his guts, he'll show his tender side. And you can't help but admire such a Job-like figure, absorbing the worst punishment, refusing to accept defeat. Get More »
