Raging Bull

Well, there is no denying Scorsesse is one of the greatest directors of our generation, but undoubtedtly Raging Bull ought to have won him a Best Picture Oscar than The Departed, which in its own right was a good movie. I liked the cinematographers decision to shoot in black and white since it evoked the feeling of old boxing reel footage (much as was done in Good Night, and Good Luck. Everyone loves de Niro, but in my opinion Cathy Moriarty steals the show. In addition to looking gorgeous she gives the character depth beyond being a simply Jersey/ Brox girl. And of course Joe Pesci is funny, though I kept thinking about My Cousin Vinny.
