This film should be viewed by every person at least once in their lifetime, because the moment we deny and forget that this ever happened; it's the moment we run the risk of allowing such a thing to happen again.

@Fredwilson45 Um no. Martin Scorsese's did Raging bull and that movie sucked. It's wayy overrated. Yes, I am the minority. However, Raging Bull was as boring as hell & it's just about some douche bag boxer.The movie keeps dragging on and never really goes anywhere. I think that most people like it because it's vastly different from anything else. That's true. However it's vastly different in a very BAD way. Schindler's List was WAYYYYY better and not boring even though it was longer.

@09tranm I see what you mean about the cussing, I usually find it funny alot of the time to be honest. Ive still gotta see Internal Affairs

[09tranm]

@EnterTheWuTang1 Well I thought Shutter Island was just pretty good. Anyways, I've never seen any of those. I've seen the Departed though and I'm sorry to say I didn't like it.I mean Martin Scorses has a slight problem of making his characters cuss wayyyy too much. I mean I don't mind if a character cusses alot it makes them bad ass but every 5 seconds makes it annoying. I mean I just didn't get into the departed. I later saw Infernal Affairs(the original) which was much better.

@09tranm Well yea ive seen my fair share of "masterpiece's" which I didn't think were masterpieces but Raging Bull was just so powerful and SHutter Island is his worst film imo lol i'm glad you liked those other two though. Have you seen The King Of Comedy,Mean streets,Alice Doesn't Live here Anymore,The LAst Temptation Of Christ,Casino or The Departed? hopefuly you would like those. I think he's easily one of the top 3 best directors

@EnterTheWuTang1 Sorry but I honestly don't care. If you liked that movie I'm cool with it, but for me it sucked. I hated that movie and found it very overrated. I'm not saying Martin Scorseses is a bad director I really liked Goodfellas,Taxi Driver, and Shutter Island was great too. However, Raging Bull come on a douchebag boxer who gets fat at the end. I paid close attention to that movie & really tried to like it, but if a movies really that good you shouldn't try to like it.

@09tranm Schindler's List is a greater film that's defiinitely true but saying Raging Bull sucked is just stupid. Have you seen it more then once?, because maybe a re-watch could let it sink in it would be brilliant if Raging Bull swaped places with this though but it didn't suck in anyway, i'm suprised your comment actually got some thumb up's....1.The Godfather.2.2001: A Space Odyssey.3.Schindler's List.4.12 Angry Men.5.Citizen Kane imo... Raging Bull is top atleast top 10

@ANOMALY1ate Well that's my opinion. If you want to watch a movie that's seriously is about 1 douchebag who's not even cool like Hannibal, Darth Vader, or even the Zodiac Killer(another true story "Zodiac" was actually quite good) then go ahead. I won't stop you enjoy whatever film you want. However(mild spoiler), I found raging bull to be boring, slow, and it seemed to go nowhere except from a guy beating his wife, accusing his brother, and getting fat & ugly.

@09tranm It didn't suck; you just can't appreciate great filmmaking.
