Editing Raging Bull (section)

== Reception ==

=== Box office ===
The brew of violence and anger, combined with the lack of a proper advertising campaign, led to the film's lukewarm box-office intake of $23&nbsp;million, compared to its $18&nbsp;million budget. By the time it left theaters, it earned $10.1&nbsp;million in [[Gross rental|theatrical rentals]] (equivalent to ${{Inflation|US-GDP|10.1|1980|r=1}}&nbsp;million in {{Inflation/year|US-GDP}}).<ref>{{cite journal |title=The Unstoppables |publisher=New York: Sussex Publishers, LLC |author=Spy |journal=Spy: The New York Monthly |date=Nov 1988 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KJly6nVC7qkC&q=An+Officer+and+a+Gentleman+1982+budget&pg=PA92 |issn=0890-1759 |page=90 |author-link=Spy (magazine) |access-date=October 28, 2020 |archive-date=February 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210206085526/https://books.google.com/books?id=KJly6nVC7qkC&q=An+Officer+and+a+Gentleman+1982+budget&pg=PA92 |url-status=live }}</ref> Scorsese became concerned for his future, and worried that producers and studios may refuse to finance his films.<ref name="Evans pp124-129" /> According to [[Box Office Mojo]], the film grossed $23,383,987 in domestic theaters (equivalent to ${{Format price|{{Inflation|US-GDP|23,383,987|1980|r=-5}}}} in {{Inflation/year|US-GDP}}).<ref name="BOMJ">{{Mojo title | id=ragingbull | title=Raging Bull}}</ref>

=== Critical response ===
When it premiered in New York City on November 14, 1980, the release of ''Raging Bull'' was met with polarized reviews, but the film would receive widespread critical acclaim, and is widely regarded as one of Scorsese's best works.<ref name="Biskind p399">Biskind, Peter ''Easy Riders, Raging Bulls'' 1999, p.399.</ref><ref name="Baxter p90" />

On the  [[review aggregator]] [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has an approval rating of 92% based on 151 reviews, with an average rating of 9.00/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Arguably Martin Scorsese's and Robert De Niro's finest film, ''Raging Bull'' is often painful to watch, but it's a searing, powerful work about an unsympathetic hero."<ref>{{cite web |title=''Raging Bull'' Movie Reviews, Pictures |url=https://rottentomatoes.com/m/raging_bull/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101013080614/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/raging_bull/ |archive-date=October 13, 2010 |access-date=April 11, 2025 |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]}}</ref> [[Metacritic]], which assigns a weighted average, gave it a score of 90 out of 100, based on 28 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/raging-bull |title=''Raging Bull'' Movie Reviews |website=[[Metacritic]] |access-date=April 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101218180746/http://www.metacritic.com/movie/raging-bull |archive-date=December 18, 2010 |url-status=live}}</ref> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "A" on a scale of A+ to F.<ref>{{Cite news |date=February 20, 1981 |title=CinemaScore |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=lD8jAAAAIBAJ&sjid=TYMDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1272%2C5527134 |access-date=April 12, 2025 |work=[[Deseret News]] |location=[[Salt Lake City]] |page=2C}}</ref>

[[Jack Kroll]] of ''[[Newsweek]]'' called ''Raging Bull'' the "best movie of the year".<ref name="Biskind p399" />

[[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' said that Scorsese "has made his most ambitious film as well as his finest", and went on to praise Moriarty's debut performance, saying, "Either she is one of the film finds of the decade or Mr. Scorsese is [[Svengali]]. Perhaps both."<ref>{{cite web |last=Canby |first=Vincent |author-link=Vincent Canby |title=ROBERT DE NIRO IN 'RAGING BULL' (Published 1980) |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1980/11/14/archives/robert-de-niro-in-raging-bull.html |website=[[The New York Times]] |date=14 November 1980 |access-date=January 9, 2021 |archive-date=January 28, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200128091635/https://www.nytimes.com/1980/11/14/archives/robert-de-niro-in-raging-bull.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Evans pp124-129">Evans, Mike ''The Making of Raging Bull'' pp. 124–129</ref>

[[Steve Jenkins (author)|Steven Jenkins]] from the [[British Film Institute]]'s (BFI) magazine ''Monthly Film Journal'' said that "''Raging Bull'' may prove to be Scorsese's finest achievement to date".<ref name="Evans pp124-129" />

The Oscars were held the day after President [[Ronald Reagan]] was shot by [[John Hinckley Jr.|John Hinckley]], who did it as an attempt to impress [[Jodie Foster]], who played a child prostitute in another of Scorsese's famous films, ''[[Taxi Driver]]'' (which also starred De Niro).<ref>{{cite web |title=John Hinckley, Jr |url=http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/hinckley/hbio.htm |date=n.d. |access-date=December 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110119162313/http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/hinckley/hbio.htm |archive-date=January 19, 2011}}</ref> Out of fear of being attacked, Scorsese went to the ceremony with [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] bodyguards disguised as guests who escorted him before the announcement of the [[Academy Award for Best Picture]] was made (the winner being Robert Redford's ''[[Ordinary People]]'').

The [[Los Angeles Film Critics Association]] voted ''Raging Bull'' the best film of 1980, and De Niro best actor. The [[National Board of Review]] also voted De Niro best actor and Pesci best supporting actor. The [[Berlin International Film Festival]] chose ''Raging Bull'' to open the festival in 1981.<ref name="Evans pp124-129" />

=== Legacy ===
By the end of the 1980s, ''Raging Bull'' had cemented its reputation as a [[cult film|modern classic]]. It was voted the best film of the 1980s in numerous critics' polls, and is regularly pointed to as both Scorsese's best film and one of the finest American films ever made.<ref name="Walker p.561">Walker, John Halliwell's Top 1000, The Ultimate Movie Countdown 2005, p. 561.</ref> Several prominent critics, among them [[Roger Ebert]], declared the film to be an instant classic and the consummation of Scorsese's earlier promise.
