The re-match would have been interesting but Cerdan died in a plane crash. In this fight he slipped, landed on his arm and dislocated his shoulder. He had to quit in the tenth round.
The movie is pure vision of the inner soul. This whole sequence is like a big dream, yet the fighting sequences were done so realistically. However that's just one of the many things I love about this film. I'm always taken by the girl at 1:14, haha. Somehow Scorsese or someone knew to put her right in that spot. She is so pretty with a big smile, and it takes you off guard at first.....maybe because she's in this sea of men. Just Genius filmmaking.
To me, this steady cam shot is better than the COPA inn. Good fellas, you hear the crowd swell. He’s with his brother, which, by the way, there’s a Cain and Abel thing going on in this film as Well, as atonement and sacrifice, Scorsese’s true Magnum opus and I’m surprised by how many people don’t understand it
Also, Scorcese's use of Mascagni's colossal "Il Sogno di Ratcliff" intermezzo from Guglielmo Ratcliff....Ingenious! Like Barber's Adagio in "Platoon".....Cheers from Mexico City!
Great scene, I like the the way actor playing Marcel Cerdan who goes down to defeat with class. You win some and lose some. Marcel Cerdan died in a plane crash after this fight going to see his girlfriend Edith Piaf.
Just a fantastic scene. The long-take shot of the walk from the dressing room to the ring just builds to a crescendo. Everything about this scene is just perfect.

No one knows this movie and in the end get the Oscar. I love De Niro. But shame on Oscar. Rocky deserved at least 3 Oscar. Stallone has created the most famous and motivational character ever. But never get an Oscar for his Masterpiece Role. F... Oscar
One of the greatest scenes in movie history. In my opinion Robert Deniro was connected to 2 of the 5 greatest acting performances of the 20th century. His portrayal of Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull and then through The Godfather Al Pacino's role of Michael Corleone.. Deniro was in Godfather part 2. Jake LaMotta boxed over a thousand rounds with Deniro to prepare him for the boxing scenes in Raging Bull. He said that Deniro became so good at boxing that he could have been a professional fighter. The legendary boxing traimer Ray Arcel who was a consultant on the film agreed. One of the greatest if not the greatest acting performance in motion picture history.
אפל תיצור את פרדריך הגדול החולק כבוד לרבני וינה ומניח תפילין לפני השם עם תפילה חזקה והורס את את פסילי הווינאים והגרמנים ובסוף עולה על ווינה ומנשק את אדמתה ואומר זו לי יובל מישראל. וחוגג בסוף לשנה הבאה בירושלים עם יין עם עמו עם גברים בלי מיניות ומעט מאוד נשים רק אישתו המוסתרת ברעלה יהודית עם הרג מטורף בתקציב מיליארד $. עם מוזרט שפרדריך צר על פרגא ומפסיד במצור בתחילת מלחמת שבע השנים. בלי סאונטראק רק מוסיקה של בטהובן והיידן בלבד. עם השחקן ששיחק את מארק צוקרברג ברשת החברתית וגנרליו המבוגרים עם שמותיהם האמיתיים.
A great memory here….this was my 3rd U2 show, but it was my wife’s first. She had recently lost her job and I surprised her with tickets (I went with seats in the ‘bleeds so she wouldn’t get concerned about funds with only one of us employed). It wasn’t my favorite show, but it didn’t matter. She was happy.
Maybe the only time in the whole movie where Jake seems content in himself. It's his night. He almost luxuriates in the moment, fixing the hood of his robe and rolling his shoulders. That walk to the ring is Jake breaking off the shackles of his own insecurities. Beautiful.
