I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Love this one. You catch the Magnolia/Jimmy Gator reference?
I did not, but I haven't seen Magnolia since I was in high school so it's not exactly fresh.

There's a scene when Jackson is saying something like "I know all those gangsters from LA..." He starts listing them, and one of them is Jimmy Gator, who was the TV host played by Philip Baker Hall in Magnolia.
Oh shit yeah, okay.

Yeah, I found it kinda hard to watch. I respect it though.

Tiny detail my wife pointed out last time I tried to watch it: the age of the young blonde he courts at the pool seems off.

While Platoon is easily five stars for me, and one I have seen multiple times. Raging Bull I think I have only seen once before. Then I think I was hoping for another Rocky, and got nothing like it.

About half an hour in now, and I think it has a great start. De Niro gained 60 pounds to play the role, and fully embraces it. He’s not just playing him here, he is Jake LaMotta.

The film is beautifully shot in black and white, really giving the movie a different feel.

The dialogue has also been on point.

We’ll see how the movie progresses for me.

They got married when she was 16, was married for 11 years, and the actress playing her was 20.
