The story of Jake LaMotta, a former middlweight boxing champion, whose reputation for tenacity and success 
in the ring was offset by his troubled domestic life: full of rage, jealousy, and suspicion--particulary 
towards his wife and manager/brother--which, in the end, left him destitute, alone, and seeking redemption.

==========

When Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing ring and obliterates his opponent, he's a prizefighter. But when he 
treats his family and friends the same way, he's a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment. Though 
LaMotta wants his family's love, something always seems to come between them. Perhaps it's his violent bouts 
of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life, he winds up in the 
ring alone.
