One of the great aspects of art is that there are so many interpretations. Why is this film so moving? What makes it so great? Well, I can only speak for myself. I was so moved that I had to walk around Notre Dame’s campus on a cold, December night just to process what I had seen. They were showing it as part of a mini-retrospective on the works of Paul Schrader, who co-wrote the film with Mardik Martin. Most recently, I saw it at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. That brings me to the film I want to discuss today - Martin Scorsese’s 1980 classic Raging Bull. Often, this leaves things open to interpretation, but at least you can get out some semblance of what is inside you. I’ve found that stories and metaphors are really the best way to try to communicate when you’re dealing with such topics.

I find myself talking in circles and never really getting to the heart of what I want to say. You can’t really come right out and say directly what you mean. Have you ever tried to communicate a deep belief to someone? I’m talking about those parts of you that are at the core of who you are.
