Description: Raging Bull 1980 Full Movie in English: A Gripping Storyline
The film “Raging Bull,” released in 1980, tells the compelling story of Jake LaMotta, an Italian American boxer. In 1964, an older and overweight Jake practices a comedy routine, reflecting on his turbulent life. The narrative shifts to 1941, where Jake faces defeat in a major boxing match against Jimmy Reeves, marking his first loss. His brother, Joey LaMotta, connects with Salvy Batts, a Mafia associate, to secure a shot at the middleweight title.
Jake becomes captivated by Vickie, a fifteen-year-old girl from his Bronx neighborhood, and pursues a relationship with her despite being married. In 1943, he triumphs over Sugar Ray Robinson but loses a controversial rematch three weeks later. By 1945, Jake marries Vickie, but his intense jealousy and insecurity strain their relationship.
His paranoia escalates when Vickie compliments Tony Janiro, Jake’s upcoming opponent. Consumed by rage, Jake brutally defeats Janiro in front of a local Mob boss, Tommy Como, and Vickie. Later, Joey discovers Vickie socializing with Salvy and his crew, leading to a violent confrontation. Under Como’s orders, Jake agrees to throw a fight against Billy Fox to secure a championship opportunity, a decision he later regrets.
After serving a suspension for the fixed match, Jake is reinstated and, in 1949, achieves his dream by winning the middleweight championship against Marcel Cerdan. “Raging Bull” is a powerful portrayal of ambition, downfall, and redemption, capturing the complexities of Jake LaMotta’s life.
