The hero, Jake La Motta (De Niro), is an Italian-American, Bronx-born boxer plagued by the demons of his Catholic upbringing and by his insane machismo. Mentally and emotionally limited to the extreme, La Motta's only mode of expression is violence, both in the ring and out. "Raging Bull" chronicles the downward spiral of La Motta's life, as his inability to control his brutal rage destroys his marriage, his relationship with his brother (Joe Pesci) and, eventually, his career.
