Apart from the boxing training and weight gain he went through, in the two pay-phone scenes I think he perfectly captures the essence of the character: the first in 1950 when he rings his brother but cannot speak and the second in 1957 outside a Miami pawnshop with his shirt unable to conceal his gone to hell gut.<br />Raging Bull is Scorcese and De Niro's masterwork I'm glad you've discovered it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319002630833235766.post-69216916034029511642011-05-08T07:32:54.586-07:002011-05-08T07:32:54.586-07:00Thanks Jesse, it is a must.Thanks Jesse, it is a must.Matt Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649474780894390040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319002630833235766.post-73546796083147712622011-05-08T07:32:38.517-07:002011-05-08T07:32:38.517-07:00Yes, that one is on my list!
