one sentence's stuff into the other: you did see I mentioned DH in the previous sentence?
Anyhow, Kundun was... boring.
Casino? Unwatchable.
Raging Bull was overwrought, as is much Scorsese. It's an ugly depiction of an ugly character. The fight sequences are bullshit. I've sat many times at ringside. Ridiculous. It's meant to be a realistic depiction and it fails. It's perhaps worse than the average Hollywood fight epic where the hero absorbs a gazillion blows any ONE of which would fell an Ali.
No argument makes sense since opinions are so personal in film.
I find it hard to believe you appreciated De Niro in RB, though. You really can watch that film repeatedly?
