@cinema.notebooks: Scorsese first refused Raging Bull — he wasn’t into boxing and felt he’d already said enough about violence. But De Niro kept insisting it was really about guilt, rage, and redemption. After Scorsese’s near-fatal collapse in 1978, he saw himself in LaMotta’s story and decided to make it — thinking it might be his last film. It became one of his most personal works. #cinema #movies #Scorsese #robertdeniro #ragingbull
