Raging Bull (1980)

Original United Artists b&w photo still RB-5.

Raging Bull is recognised as a cinematic critique of the "American Dream," using the sports biopic to dismantle myths of success by revealing the ugliness of personal obsession. Its legacy lies in its rejection of traditional Hollywood sentimentality; by presenting its protagonist’s life as a series of moral and physical failures, it forced audiences to confront the darker realities of domestic life and professional violence. 
 
Here, we see Jake LaMotta (Robert De Niro) standing in the centre of the ring, raising his arms in anticipation of victory before a fight. 
 
Trivia: To authentically portray a middleweight contender, Robert De Niro trained so extensively with the real Jake LaMotta that the former champ believed De Niro could have actually fought professionally.
