Respectfully, Raging Bull was a great movie, but I personally don’t think it was that difficult to play a pissed off fighter when in reality, you are a perpetually pissed off person who envisions yourself as a tough guy. Never saw Taxi Driver, so can’t comment. Obviously, my retrospective analysis of his acting is very much biased by how irritating he is publicly now. He has, however, done a fair amount of schlock movies as well - including the ‘Meet the Fockers’ series of movies.
I finally watched Taxi Driver a few months ago.
I honestly have no idea what all of the hubbub was about.
To me it was a at best mediocre movie and kind of boring and contrived.
The great DeNiro....yea, whatever.
I’m reading his 3 1/2 hour Irishman movie coming up on Netflix is getting great reviews.
I’m wondering if i should watch it or not..
F deniro..
