"A great film by Paul Schrader, best known for having penned a bunch of legendary screenplays for Martin Scorsese. The film revolves around Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, and jumps between the story of his life and dreamlike depictions of scenes from his books. It’s got a particularly good score by Philip Glass, who I usually find to be tedious, but this one is nice. Schrader’s use of color and set design during the book segments of the film are quite theatrical and feel closely related to Robert Wilson’s on Einstein on the Beach—although I don’t have any evidence to back that connection up. Great flick, though."

Nothing against Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and other Scorsese masterpieces; however, this has to be his greatest work of all time.

Robert De Niro completely transforms himself into Jake La Motta both physically, mentally and emotionally. Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty are also magnificent in support of the story of a courageous boxer and his fall from grace.


Film students still study the directing, cinematography and the stunning visuals of the film in glorious black and white.


The screenplay by Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin is completely believable and make you empathize with this rough, gritty character in his world when he is up on top and on his way down.


A masterpiece!

Bringing Out The Cage
Bring Out The Dead- is a very underrated movie with a great cast and directed by one of the all time greatest directors- Martin Scorsese.

The Plot: After a disheartening and haunting career wears him down, New York City paramedic Frank Pierce (Nicolas Cage) begins to collapse under the strain of saving lives and witnessing deaths. Through the course of a few nights, three co-workers (John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore) accompany Pierce as he grasps for sanity and pushes to be fired. Before Pierce falls off the edge, he still has a hope when he forms a friendship with a victim's daughter (Patricia Arquette).

Its delusional, its paranoid, its suspenseful, its thrilling and overall its a good movie.

Highly recordmend watching this movie.
