The film delves into LaMotta's turbulent life, marked by jealousy, violence, and self-destruction, both inside and outside the ring. De Niro's transformative performance earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor, while Scorsese's direction and Thelma Schoonmaker's editing garnered critical acclaim. The film's stark black-and-white cinematography and visceral fight sequences set a new standard for cinematic realism.
