De Niro recalled that he was working on Bernardo Bertolucci’s “1900” when he first read La Motta’s biography. Scorsese and De Niro first began talking about it in 1974 but it took Scorsese some time to understand the character, and both of them were busy. ** “Raging Bull” was a long-gestating project. Here are seven more things we learned from revisiting the majesty of movies via “Raging Bull.” “It’s late in New York, Ben,” Scorsese chided at one point. So Mankiewicz could be forgiven for holding the “Raging Bull” quartet on stage while he had them. (And yet, Joe Pesci nearly steals the picture with his prowess as Joey, La Motta’s brother-manager.) Scorsese’s take on the highs and lows of 1940s “Bronx Bull” boxer Jake La Motta endures as masterpiece, a blend of grit, arthouse, matchless fight sequences and an Oscar-winning performance by De Niro that stands as a high-water mark for an actor’s transformation into a character. The movie demonstrated its own legend by screening to a nearly packed (and vaccine-screened) house. There's your stupid steak.As the “Raging Bull” foursome shared memories of making the movie and perspective on its impact after 40-plus years, Mankiewicz couldn’t help going over (by a lot) his allotted Q&A time. Bring it over! It's like a piece of charcoal! Bring it over here! You're overcookin' it, bring it over.īring it over. What are you doin'? I just said don't overcook it. You understand, you fuckin' wacko? You're crackin' up! Fuckin' screw ball, you!ĭon't overcook it. And you won't have troubles upstairs in your bedroom and you won't pick it out on me and everybody else. You know what you should do? Try a little more fuckin' and a little less eatin'. You're a sick bastard, I feel sorry for you, I really do. I'm not stayin' in this nuthouse with you. It's a sick question and you're a sick fuck and I'm not that sick that I'm gonna answer it. I'm gonna ask you again: did you or did you not? You're givin' me all these answers, but you ain't givin' me the right answer. You asked me that? Where do you get you're balls big enough to ask me that? How could you ask me a question like that? How could you ask me? I'm your brother.
