If there is a more perfect exploration of why as men we act the way we do, then I'd love to see it, because this movie made me re-evaluate my life.
The scenes of domestic violence are not for the faint of heart, but there is really no other way to tell this story. Thelma Schoonmaker's jarring, discordant editing in these scenes also deserves special mention. The boxing scenes easily rank with the most brutal and violent moments ever put on film, shot in stark, unadorned black and white and utilizing unlikely sounds including shattering windows and animal cries to great effect. Michael Jordan's footwear reached new heights when the. Straps framed the eyelets, which provided function for ballers seeking extra support - or resembled wings on the side of the shoe when loosely laced. The story of how boxer Jake LaMotta watched his career and marriage crumble under the weight of his violent temper and deep-rooted misogyny is told with no punches pulled (excuse the bad pun), as Deniro (in what may be his best performance) and Scorsese unflinchingly explore what drove this man over the edge, and what ultimately may have pulled him back. The Air Jordan 4 debuted in 1989 by building on the Air Jordan 3 ability to seamlessly blend on-court performance with off-court fashion. A clear outsole, lace locks and a reflective 3M tongue further spoke to Hatfield’s visionary design language. But rather than resting on its laurels, the Jordan brand released the new Jordan 5 a fresh, fast, cutting-edge shoe with previously unseen design details. Tinker Hatfield channeled Michael Jordan’s aerial combativeness with the Air Jordan 5, adding shark-tooth detailing inspired by WWII fighter planes to the midsole. Martin Scorsese is absolutely the greatest filmmaker of the last quarter century, and this film is his best. When the Air Jordan 5 burst onto the sneaker scene in 1990, Michael Jordan had already cemented his status as a superstar in the shoe arena. I have watched it at least ten times, and it only gets better and better with each viewing. Easily one of the most powerful films I have ever seen.
