Raging Bull - The Final Scene

Raging Bull is the anti-Rocky. While both being great films, the only thing they have in common is that the story revolves around a boxer. Thats it. Everything else is different. Whereas Rocky is meant to inspire, Raging Bull is meant leave you in a raw, emotional state.

Raging Bull is really an art film. There is no doubt about it, this film is an artistic statement. Look at the black and white in the film. Even the color of the black and white seems more muted or somber.

There is some indefinable quality about Raging Bull that I can't put my finger on. You could watch it over and over to dissect every shot, cut, and scene and you still wouldn't get an answer as to why its so amazing.

Its really the kind of film that leaves you just staring at the screen watching the credits roll with your mouth wide open. You are without words. You are blown away by how deep, yet tragic the story is.

If I were to categorize Raging Bull, I would probably say that it is similar to a film like Schindler's List. You don't feel like getting up from your seat after its over. You're in this hypnotic state. Also, like Schindler's List, Raging Bull is not the kind of movie you want to see over and over again. That's not the purpose of it. It isn't a popcorn movie. It's art.

Rocky - The Philadelphia Steps

Rocky is the reason that people go to the movies. We all want to be taken away out of our daily lives and see something inspiring.

I wasn't even alive when the original Rocky came out but from what I heard going to see it in the movie theaters was like a religious experience. Towards the end of the movie, people went crazy cheering, like it was a real boxing match.

Now, I've never had the pleasure of actually seeing Rocky in a movie theater full of people, but I can say this: Every single time I've watched it, I'm always uplifted. I can't even count how many times I've seen the movie it always has the same effect.

Rocky is the piece of Americana that we want to believe in. Its the story where the little guy actually has a shot.

No scene is more classic than the training montage where he finishes going up the famous Philadelphia steps. The moment you hear those horns enter, your blood instantly starts to flow. You feel like going to your local gym to take boxing lessons. Rocky is the reason why movies were created.
