00:00hey guys welcome back in the past once again this is your host and again in

00:04today's video we'll be doing it another movie review now this is one of the

00:12all-time goods here you have this guy Jake LaModa who's a real guy by the way

00:18did this movie Rage and Bullet it's based on real people in the 1940s 50s so it's

00:25not a fictional story like the Rocky movies it's a hundred percent actual real

00:32probably exaggerated some stuff here and there you know they're more interesting

00:36plot like all the other biopics does right but this is basically a biopic and

00:42it's a goddamn good one too okay so the movie starts with the main guy Jake

00:49Lamora he's shadow boxing in the ring and showing you the credits very great

00:55scene you know for it to introduce the movie right to start it off then you get

01:00into the first scene where you have the MC this Jake LaModa he's this fat

01:07obserky looking guy in a room smoking his side and some stuff to himself and then it

01:13cuts back to the 1940s where you get the main highlights where this is where the

01:18boxing matches happens and some top-tier shit okay here this is even more the

01:25better direction than taxi driver but you've seen all technical stuff in

01:30display of these boxing matches however he loses the match and his brother Joey

01:38tries to give him some favors to the mafia again in which he he refuses right you see

01:45him after this he goes and he links up with 18 at the pool you know leading to have

01:51now fit cheating on his wife you know movies going through all of these moments right in

01:57his life and then you get back into the match he has a next match with the

02:03legendary sugar Robinson and he ends up beating beating him in that match to

02:10leading up to a rematch card and this is where it gets really interesting Jay he

02:16dominates him in the rematch as usual right same stick but he ends again

02:22declared the loser by the judges leading to brother Joey accused him of being like

02:28unfair you know giving like bias to the other guy and such so yeah all that

02:37controversy starts going on you know the boxing matches yeah it cuts back to his

02:42relationship right you see me actually marry Vicky and from here after their

02:50marriage it basically goes downhill for Jake and friends okay this is where the

02:57real shit starts to hit the fan you see Jake becomes more unhinged during the

03:03relationship accusing her of infidelity like cheating on him to the point where

03:08he's borderline paranoid but he's like almost every day she has an interaction with

03:15it sucks to him and she's going off on her like every time she interacts with a guy

03:21and you know like this man whatever and he's just just going off to every time she

03:27basically has an interaction with a guy it's really toxic and sad to watch because

03:31it's literally domestic abuse on this one you even see his brother Joey also gets

03:37caught up in this as well all right it gets to the extent where he ends up

03:43beating up on one of their friend Salvi blaming him for wanting Vicky Vicky to

03:50leave their relationship right this kind of leads to a brawl outside of the

03:55building in a very comical one too but um yeah it's pretty fucked up but then you

04:03know the movie cuts back to the boxing matches right he proceeds to have another

04:07match with Billy Fox but decides to throw the match halfway in leading to him

04:13getting suspended although it gets sort of sought out later as he goes on to

04:17beating Marcel for the middleweight title right so it's sort of like a set

04:23picnic it's going on the matches now at this point you're thinking he's probably

04:28gonna give himself back on track right but no this was just a short hurdle the

04:36downfall is straight ahead because shortly after this he goes and he

04:42confronts Joey with his bro about the brawl he had with Salva over Vicky and this is

04:50probably a heck of the movie in my opinion

04:52that was no big thing anyway I smacked him in the mouth he was drunk he started some shit

04:56had to go downtown straighten it all out with Tommy it's all forgotten about

04:59supposedly anyway

05:01how come you never told me about it

05:03nothing have anything to do with you

05:06had nothing to do with me

05:08no

05:09who'd have something to do with

05:11Vicky

05:12hey Jack

05:13I just explained the whole thing to you didn't I

05:15yeah

05:16it was between me and Salvi

05:17if it had anything to do with you and Vicky I would have told you about it

05:20Jake starts accusing Joey of banning his wife

05:25leading to a very sad but quite humorous exchange between the two

05:31in a way that only Dineo and Pesky can pull off

05:36you let this girl ruin your life look at you she really did some job on you know how fucking nuts you are

05:42look what she did to you

05:43you fucked my wife

05:44what

05:45you fucked my wife

05:46seriously this is like the highlight of the movie

05:52but following his humorous exchange about Jake

05:57he goes full on hinge right he starts attacking Vicky

06:02accusing her of cheating on him with his brother

06:05then attacking Joey at his home in front of his family

06:09man going full buzzer and it's pretty much over for him at this point

06:14cause he eventually loses all of this right

06:18he loses his title to Sugar Ray after leading to retirement

06:23then Vicky divorces him taking the kids and everything

06:26leaves him

06:27and for the icing on the cake of downhill

06:32he ends up getting arrested for introducing underage girls to guys in the club

06:39like I don't know how do you end up screwing up that badly

06:44to the point where you couldn't even like have the audacity to ask these girls for an ID card

06:49or something

06:50but apparently he did

06:51and he goes to jail for a bit

06:53and this is where probably the movie starts to struggle a bit in my opinion

06:57okay right getting to the ending here

06:59I mean it's not that the ending is bad per se

07:02it just doesn't keep the momentum as the first two acts which were incredible in comparison

07:07but nonetheless you know the film sort of it starts a wrap up right with him going to jail then

07:14he gets out and he tries to make amends with the people and such

07:19and then he starts doing these shows right

07:22so cause he doesn't do boxing anymore so he's doing like stand up routines at these places

07:28and you know in the end it's just him getting ready to do another show at the backstage

07:35so it's not really much of an ending per se

07:39it sort of falls into a similar issue with taxi driver

07:43cause I remember in my review for taxi driver

07:46in that movie

07:49it had an ending that felt a bit too much of like a perfect ending

07:53and it didn't really make sense with what was going on in the movie to me

07:57here it's almost the polar opposite right

08:00it's not even really an ending it just wraps up and it just ends

08:05which I guess it's probably part of the course since it's like a biopic

08:09you know it's not meant to have like a good, bad or perfect ending sort of scenario

08:15it's just telling you the life of this guy

08:21I have to say this though this is a one of a kind level performance from Robert De Niro

08:26he literally carried this movie on his shoulders

08:30along with Joe Pesky, Caddy Moradio

08:33obviously these guys have proved great in their own right

08:36especially Joe Pesky and even Caddy as well

08:39they did very good

08:41but the main one here is Robert De Niro

08:43like he went through the window for this movie

08:46right

08:47and I'm not going to leave out their supporting cast

08:52because the supporting cast is good too

08:54but it's really these three actors who are the main standouts in this movie

08:59really and truly

09:01now when it comes to the directing

09:06just like I said earlier in my review

09:08it's better direction than Taxi Driver

09:13has better cinematography than Taxi Driver

09:16you know

09:17even though it is fully in black and white

09:20you can still see the quality on display here

09:23because this is a big budget movie right

09:25like this movie had like 10 times the budget of Taxi Driver

09:29when it came out

09:31and it was like considered a huge deal at the time

09:34right

09:36but it was in black and white

09:38so

09:40you know

09:41it gives it a more older feel

09:43and

09:44there's only one scene that's actually in colour

09:46and that's

09:47like

09:48they're showing like clips of him

09:50and his wife

09:51during the marriage

09:52and you know the kids

09:54that

09:55is like sort of like a highlight video scene

09:57and

09:59that's the only bit where it

10:01is in colour

10:03and

10:04it's incredible

10:06like the cinematography

10:07the directing

10:08even the soundtrack

10:10all of the stuff is

10:11pitch perfect here

10:13that Mansour says here

10:15and these guys who work on this movie

10:16they really really nail this movie

10:19yeah

10:20top down

10:21technically

10:22but

10:23except for one

10:24that I noticed at

10:26the beginning

10:28um

10:29you know when this happened

10:30in the boxing match

10:31at the beginning

10:33they show you

10:34the guys fighting

10:35and

10:36you know the courts that are going crazy

10:37and stuff

10:38and such

10:39in that scene

10:41I noticed there was some obvious ADR

10:44like certain sounds

10:47voices that you hear the characters make

10:50in the amp scene

10:52you can

10:53that was obviously inserted

10:55like it wasn't

10:56natural

10:58now in their defense

10:59I will admit

11:00that this movie was made in 1980

11:03right

11:04it was infinitely more harder

11:06to edit a movie back then

11:08because there was no computers

11:10no editing

11:11dark

11:12you know timeline

11:13where you could splice things together on

11:15and cut them out straight down to a T

11:17like this was made back when they actually had to

11:20take scissors and cut the film wheel and the sound

11:25and just splice them together

11:27like physically do that

11:29so I won't fault them for like you know some of the stuff

11:33not really being like a hundred percent in sync with the audio and editing

11:38I won't fault them for that

11:40but I just point it out because it's something that stood out to me

11:44while watching the movie

11:45so I'm just really pointing it out here

11:47but other than that

11:49other than that

11:51one thing I noticed

11:52this movie is basically technically perfect

11:55and with the storyline it's

11:59almost perfect right

12:01aside from like how it ended

12:03this movie was

12:05damn near perfect

12:07so

12:09overall to sum this up

12:11I give Ray Jumbo a

12:139.7

12:15out of 10

12:16right it's perfect

12:18it's the same rating I give as tax cheaper

12:20but

12:21it's perfect

12:22you know it's

12:23it does great acting direct and everything

12:26it's just

12:27that's like

12:28stuff I pointed out

12:29but other than that

12:30this is like

12:31about as good as you can get for a man's success

12:34this is peak Robert De Niro guys

12:37and I would recommend this to anyone that's interested in watching a

12:41film

12:43not just like anything but like watching a film

12:47alright guys

12:48so there and that pretty much sums up my review overall for

12:52Ray Jumbo guys

12:54perfect cinematic experience

12:56definitely worth watching

12:58definitely worth recommending
