Wait if I am remembering correctly, Jake wasn’t suspicious of anyone or angry until he lost that fight on purpose. He blamed himself for making the wrong choice and it was eating him up inside, and it wasn’t until he realized he wasn’t all in fault for making that decision that he was able to forgive himself and move on. The ending is supposed to tell us that we need to give ourselves a break and realize that we are not perfect, but sinners. But if we are all sinners, then who has any moral authority in life? We are all fucked up, so what is the point in all of this pain if we are all human and no one has any authority to judge us? We can try to be good but at the end of the day we have all sinned. The only way to stay sane is repent and move on. What a powerful ending and message that we need in this messed up and beautiful world.
When it fades to black and distant sounds can be heard it’s like a peaceful breeze letting you know, you’ve finally figured it out. We’re so lost as people sometimes we’ve been stumbling through the dark for many years of our lives with our questions while looking for the answers. Sometimes it’s that ugly thing that pops up in your mind that isn’t what you want to be the truth, so you push it back into the dark. Eventually, you’ll dig deeper into one of those ugly things you couldn’t even consider in the past, and you learn the real meaning of being “ honest “ with yourself.
Once again here for watching this just before an important interview. "I'm the boss, I'm the boss, I'm the boss" ringing in my ears as I click on 'join the online meeting'
The real Wladislaw was actually incredibly disgusting and feckless: He abandoned his family when they were sent to a concentration camp in order to save himself, then he joined the Jewish resistance but also abandoned them when they staged an uprising and it was time to fight; finally, he also coldly abandoned the kind German officer who discovered him when he was hiding in the ruins of Warsaw like a rat but didn't report him (as he had been ordered) and on top of that helped him hide and fed and clothed him, but when the officer was caught by the Soviets and sent to a gulag to die (where he died) he asked for help from Wladislaw who simply did nothing (he said later he wasn't sure whether to help him and claimed that he did try to help but it was too late and he had already been shipped off to a gulag).
I think it’s important to note that Scorsese films 🎥 a scene 🎬 of reflection from the reflection in the mirror. I don’t remember another director doing this in the summation of a movie. Marty’s just brilliant. 😎
Endings in movies use to hit different. This is so layered and highlighted with an immense amount of grief and loss and regret yet still trying to pull yourself forward. Beautiful ending. Beautiful film.
What makes this film a sheer masterpiece, is the fact it shows us LaMotta's opponents in life weren't just in the ring where he has success, but his most important opponents were outside the ring, and he lost every battle he faced.
Can I get your instagram id or any other contact details??? Because I am a filmmaker and my next script is on theatre optique And I want to know more about this place
Кто-нибудь объясните мне, что сейчас происходит в Европе, почему фашизм поднимает голову, почему внуки фашистов руководят Европой???? Почему мозги европейцев засраны пропагандой ненависти к России, которая, огромной ценой освободила Европу
I hate how movies always have fake happy endings, in real life, most people don't have a happy ending. For most people, redemption isn't achieved. The bully wins, the bad guy gets the girl, you die an unknown NPC only because you couldn't overcome your fear and you fell in line with the rest of the crowd. I guess the silver lining is that if you're young enough and you come to the same conclusion as me, you still have time to turn it all around if you could overcome your fear, sloth, pride & lack of faith. I'm not advocating a Nietzschean will to power, just set the bar higher.
The real Jake La Motta once said no one could hurt him in the ring and the only person who could hurt him was himself, this emphasises how basically he and only he screwed up how life he didn't fear anyone not even the American Mafia who he testified against over the Boxing rackets the mob did with fight fixing egg and has a kid he fought for pennies to entertain mobsters from his neighbourhood.
It’s funny to think that despite boxing sort of being the movie’s subject matter, it’s more of a film about a man’s simmering violence and anger that spills into his life and destroys the relationships with his family. I agree though, this is Scorsese’s magnum opus and a masterclass in filmmaking!
