Whatta U want from the SRR biopic?

Raging Bull did a good job at staying neutral in my opinion. Here's Jake LaMotta, a great fighter, a **** hole of a man. Judge away.

 

I don't think it did, a loss was portrayed as robbery where his opponent was out after the bell, did that actually happen? Did it show the Marshall loss? Did it have Lamotta say 'why would I fight Charles Burley when I can fight Zivic'

It was honest about the wife beating, and I don't think the black and white characterisation of Lamotta or the other fighters who get called similar, is accurate, like all people they are both good and bad

 

It was slightly bias when it came to the combat, but I thought it took a great deal of balls to project an honest view of him as a personality. A credit to Jake himself, I bet he was having a wonderful time at the premiere watching him beat up his wife.

 

Because the offspring don't want to see their dad portrayed as a ****?

 

OFcourse, but if you do know too much about a person or sport and it doesn't ring true its often annoying as we see it as unrealistic, where as those who are ignorant just take it for what it is. Ignorance is indeed bliss in movie viewing

1 of the hardest things will be casting someone charasmatic enough to play Ray. Will Smith who I consider a very good actor pretty much failed with ALi

 

Hell I say cast Floyd Mayweather Jr He's done his role research, pretending to be Ray for years now

 

:huh

 

Beating up women, being the ultimate businessmen when it comes to prizefighting, etc.

Floyd doesn't look like Sugar though.

 

SRR's military service should be included in the movie. The most important part being how he refused to fight exhibition matches for service members, unless black soldiers were also allowed to watch.

 

I would want them to use nothing but actual archival clips and vids of Robinson himself fighting so as not to be insulted by just another sub par, poorly choreographed simulated fight scenes which always suck. No actor, no matter how well prepared and coached for the occasion of making this movie can do justice to the real SRR.
