Raging Bull

(1980)

Hit me. Harder. Harder!

Bobby DeNiro takes a star turn as the ultimate man who could take a punch, “The Bronx Bull,” boxing legend Jake LaMotta. Martin Scorsese is behind the lens. The result is raw, violent, and powerful. It’s Scorsese’s highest film on the AFI’s list. But, IS it his best? We debate that very question and exactly what we’re supposed to take away from a very flawed hero, this week!
