Raging Bull (Opening)

[Honeybowtie]

This is all thank to Roberts De Niro, for convincing Scorsese to make this beautiful piece of work.

[Mikefreed9241]

Absolute perfection...introduces the main theme (a man fighting himself) and lets the audience feel some sympathy for him.

[emptyleonardo]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING INTRO

[hardnessofthisworld]

DeNiro/Scorcese ....greatest actor/director combination in cinema  history....easily

[reconmart]

the most beautiful piece of music ever writen...and what a film.

[hardnessofthisworld]

Have you ever seen a one legged man tryin' to dance his way free

If you've ever seen a one legged man then you've seen me

[reconmart]

@hardnessofthisworld Hay buddie, love these words and all the poems you have posted, thank you.

[hardnessofthisworld]

I always leave with less than I had before

bet I can make you smile when the blood it hits the floor

Tell me can you ask for anything more

These things that have comforted me I drive away

This place that is my home I cannot stay

My only faith is in the broken bones and bruises I display

[hardnessofthisworld]

Tell me friend can you ask for anything more

Tell me can you ask for anything more

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and weeds

If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one armed man punchin' at nothing but the breeze

If you've ever seen a one armed man then you've seen meI come and stand at every door

[hardnessofthisworld]

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free

If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one legged dog makin' his way down the street

If you've ever seen a one legged dog then you've seen me

I come and stand at every door I always leave with less than I had before

bet I can make you smile when the blood it hits the floor

Tell me friend can you ask for anything more

Zack Snyder used another arrangement (I think Tyler Bates did it) of this for a scene in Watchmen. Absolutely breathtaking. So glad I finally found its origin.

[Ricky42791]

I love how he's shadow boxing alone in the ring, kind of symbolizes the warriors true fight is w/in himself

[victorspell1]

Rocky's got nothin' on Raging Bull!

[Powerhousezz]

robert deniro is sexy in this movie except when he gains more weight lol

[glassessn]

@Powerhousezz I STILL THOUGHT HE WAS SEXY!!!!!!!

[SamShpaid]

the opening makes me goosebomps. great movie i love it! De Niro at his best!

[Giannebegood]

una delle più belle colonne sonore di sempre...da pelle d'oca!!!

[SamanthaNewton14]

One of the best pieces of music I have ever heard. One the the best movies ever made also. The 2 just go hand in hand.

[tombomb50]

what a beautiful movie. really is cinematic history. The godfather andraging bull are my 2 favourite movies ever.

[iceborn999]

Wow... What an intro. Best intro to a movie ever.

[george4mon]

its by Cavalleria Rusticana and its called Intermezzo a great atomospheric opening

[victorspell1]

one of my favorite movies of all times.

[Sowina]

What's the name of the song??

[Giannebegood]

cavalleria rusticana

[danmarino1970]

Now that's Italian! Bravo Roberto..

[NicktheBarber31]

if this ain't scorsese's best film, taxi driver surely is

[reconmart]

One of the most beautiful tunes ever written, as for the film one of a kind, one of a kind.

[Imran500]

LaMotta is a jealous guy.

[wisetough]

DeNiro's 2nd best movie.

[donsuccone]

and his 1st? Goodfelas?

[frenchmen88]

Taxi driver.

[dazza5266]

is his first the godfather by any chance

[ilubsnickerz]

the godfather was francis ford coppola, pretty sure if youve seen a lot of scorsese's work you can pretty much tell by just watching the godfather that its not scorsese

[dazza5266]

no i was on about de niros best being the godfather

[victorspell1]

ilubsnickerz , the godfather was scorsese's work but coppola said his directing was garbage and gave martin Mean Streets instead. Look it up on wiki.

[trish6]

@victorspell1 I've looked on wiki and can't find anything about The Godfather being Scorsese's work, are you sure?

[victorspell1]

@trish6 now, they must've took it off because it was on for 2 years. try to look it up.

[cam123cha]

@trish6 francis ford coppella did the godfather lol

[crisinthenight5]

This opening synthesizes much of Scorsese's directing skills. It's pure poetry.

[thecoymistress]

Fighting an enemy that doesn't exist...

[Joreddog]

Godfather Part 3 uses this theme for its ending

[number3210]

1 of the greatest films of all time

[radicalahndrea]

This is so beautiful!!!

[whatoopswoops]

best opening in a movie

[onorats]

this theme song rocks!
