His brother, who had been La Motta’s manager, broke with him his wife left him, taking their children with her.

He then grew fat (De Niro is said to have gained fifty pounds) and became an aggressively vulgar nightclub entertainer. Raging Bull recalls, how accurately I do not know, the personal life and professional career of the man who was barred from the ring for throwing a fight, came back to be middleweight champion and was beaten into retirement by Sugar Ray Robinson in the last of their several meetings. It is the verdict brought against Jake, and the others leave him to his fury-a rogue elephant proclaiming himself no animal. The wolverine is reported to behave so by its nature, but a man of that sort is called nuts. The three people who dominate the film-Jake, his brother Joey (Joe Pesci) and his wife, Vickie (Cathy Moriarty)-are all handy enough with tooth and claw, but only Jake loses the aspect of humanity in the excesses of his rage. This brief excursion into comparative biology is evoked by the fact that Raging Bull explores the subject so effectively. Some millenniums ago, man attained free will, and soon began to devise ingenious ways of abusing the gift. Generally speaking, we are less capable than other fauna: by comparison with human beings, there are relatively few failures among the cats, pigs, squirrels or raccoons one encounters. We are all animals, and the interesting question is how well we comport ourselves as members of that order. Toward the end of Raging Bull, Jake La Motta (Robert De Niro) smashes his head against a jail-cell wall and moans, “I’m not an animal!” It’s a cry that goes back at least as far as Caliban, and it misses the point.
