His rise in the 40s was mirrored by his decline in the 50s, as his wealth was wasted away, his friends and family were pushed away, leaving him, and his regrets, managing a nightclub in Florida.īased in part on LaMotta’s autobiographical novel, the film paints a portrait of America, as much as this deeply flawed man. Battling out of the slums of his New York borough, to taking down the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson, and soon after claiming the middleweight champion crown. A man who pummeled his way to the top, and then saw his anger and aggression lead to his fall. A heavyweight of cinema, thanks to the one-two punch of Scorsese and De Niro.
