The subject was rich. I have met "la Motta" on several occasions. Not a "primal force" but more accurately "a petite primal force".I actually think the film captures his intellectual prison, his pettiness and his fearsome ability to project a physical presence/eveyday violence quite well. Plus, having done Golden Gloves (Feets, Don't Fail Me Now!) I may have a different perspective from many.
BTW, I met la Motta through the "good" graces of Rocky Grazianno.
Long story! But sheer happenstance.
I cannot say I like the film, it is not something I watch frequently. After all, boxers are only a proxy for warriors. But I admire the film immensely. Scorcese perceived the subject with startling clarity!
