‘Raging Bull – The Making Of’ by Jay Glennie is available to pre-order from coattail-publications. Writing the book, and choosing the images and ephemera to adorn it, has been a rare privilege and honour. Raging Bull marked Scorsese’s fourth collaboration with De Niro, and in the four decades since its release it has lost none of its ability to astonish. Interviewing Bob, Marty, Joe Pesci, Cathy Moriarty, John Turturro, producer Irwin Winkler, editor Thelma Schoonmaker, screenwriter Paul Schrader, and many others, revealed how they dissected a seemingly self-destructive man, whose primary form of communication was through violence, and gave us unquestionably one of the greatest films of all-time. But De Niro felt there was something within the life of former champ Jake LaMotta that had real cinematic possibilities and began a war of attrition on Scorsese, which ultimately saw the director acquiesce. Scorsese’s passion outside of film was music, not sport. In fact, any form of sport was of little interest, with the director stating ‘if there was a ball involved then forget it.’ “The idea of, ‘Let’s get two guys into the ring and let them hit each other,’ was something I didn’t – couldn’t – grasp,” he has said.
He has never retired from acting, and continues to work regularly in mostly film.Initially directing a movie about boxing did not appeal to Martin Scorsese. De Niro has also received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 and the Golden Globe Cecil B. He received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Jake LaMotta in Скажений бик (1980). De Niro first gained fame for his role in Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), but he gained his reputation as a volatile actor in Злі вулиці (1973), which was his first film with director Martin Scorsese. He was trained at the Stella Adler Conservatory and the American Workshop. The Tribeca Festival wrapped Sunday night, its last event a retrospective screening of Raging Bull with a video (pre-recorded) of Leonardo DiCaprio interviewing Martin Scorsese and Robert. His paternal grandfather was of Italian descent, and his other ancestry is Irish, English, Dutch, German, and French. One of the greatest actors of all time, Robert De Niro was born on Augin Manhattan, New York City, to artists Virginia (Admiral) and Robert De Niro Sr.
