Great movie and one of the best character study films I have ever seen, the acting is great among the main actors, especially Robert De Niro who gave an exceptional performance in the movie and deserved the Academy Award for Best Actor. I was so sad about Jake LaMotta at the end of the movie, but he who destroyed himself, and the black and white film selection was a good choice for Martin Scorsese, a great movie and I recommend you watch it and my rating of the movie 8.6.
