Boston College Heros Journey in Raging Bull Martin Scorsese Film Discussion

Discussion: We are starting to approach the midterm, if you can believe it. I want us to start to reflect on the various ideas that we have encountered thus far. Raging Bull is a film that touches on multiple themes and ideas (including the definition of the anti-hero) and also film techniques. In your discussion this week, choose one aspect from the course (from aspects of the hero’s journey to hubris and everything in between) and reflect on that aspect as reflected/developed in Raging Bull. Be sure to respond to at least two of your classmates. This will be end up being a great way to review, when we prepare for the midterm exam.
