raging bull is a story of one of the greats to enter boxing. This film shows how hard it was to be a fighter in the old days. It was hard because it had great fighters like sugar ray robinson and boxing was corrupted so it was hard to get a title shot. for me this is the best boxing film ever because it is based on truth. in this film it shows robert dineros actor getting paranoid and beating up his wife. his violence helps him in the ring however he struggles to find the same reward outside the ring. raging bull is a personal favourite of mine. this film has 2 oscars. the best thing i like about this film is its black and white it reminds you of olden fighters

Advantages: Acting is amazing, especially De Niro and the whole thing looks gorgeous. Disadvantages: Some may be put off by the violence or the lack of a character to root for.
