Who here has actually read Raging Bull?

I read it every other yr. Fires me and puts a visceral feeling of savagery in my belly. Top it off with the absolutely animalistic"SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME" & hit the town

 

Not in the 2 books.

 

His breakdown after he got in trouble. When he was locked up. He decided to change and as he put it...."become a human being again".

 

Rocky was awesome

 

His friend was locked up. No, I never met LaMotta. I heard he mellowed out A LOT in the later years.

 

In the book hes always good with his brother Joey. In the movie they switch Joey up with his then friend Salvy. Never understand why LaMotta would allow that considering how be beats the crap out of his brother in the movie. All in all book or movie. I never liked the man. Not one bit

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I think there are some pretty serious misconceptions here about what Jake does and does not admit to in the book. Many people will claim that he admits to committing two rapes on different women. But all he basically implies is that there were two females who did not want to have intercourse with him at different times and then he had intercourse with them on those occasions anyway, because he was libidinous and they were not or were not interested in him specifically when he was libidinous and then they weren't physically capable of doing anything about it. Now, if you consider that ****, okay but I think we're really just speculating past what he was implying. I mean, dolphins basically do that and nobody calls them rapists.

 

“SOMEBODY DOWN THERE LIKES ME” The Jake LaMotta story!

 

Jake loved a struggle snuggle.

 

He raped boys as well.
Didn't mention it in the book.
