    Yeah, apparently. And his character is still ridiculously unsympathetic. It was crazy to me that he had no self-awareness. Then again, most people believe they are right, no matter how wrong they may be.

    After the movie was released, Jake and Vikki supposedly explored a reconciliation, but after a while, Vikki said the same old Jake began to surface.

    Raging Bull probably made Jake look like a better person than he was, if that's even possible. It left out some of his worse offenses.

    The man knew no fear though and always gave a great interview:

    yes, I heard he just did a signing at a mall in L.I. N.Y. glove signing and poasters but I heard it was the last time he would be doing it.

    According to the stories that LaMotta talked about in the book Raging Bull, the movie made him look like a saint in comparison.

    Terrific fighter, disgusting person.

    "But guys like you and I attract garbage. But every once in awhile something beautiful comes in our lives and we have to see."

    The first part is incredibly fore-telling on Jake's part at this point. Not that he meant that, but the quote looks great reflecting on it now.

    Yep. He's a true legend. If I could meet any boxer, from any era, it would easily be LaMotta.
