Title: A masterpiece (thought most people don't know why)
Review: This film is a masterpiece. We're all flawed individuals, and an individual is not to blame for his/her personality development. But we are all responsible to control what we've become, and that is hard for all of us. Some more than others, like the bull in this film. If only there were safe places for all children to deal with their emotions. But there aren't, and that's why the world is suffering. And it only gets worse.And why bash "Ordinary People"? That's also a brilliant film. Just because it doesn't have tough guys, tough dialogue, and blood doesn't mean it's a sissy movie. If anything, it's more disturbing than "Raging Bull". At least Jake LaMotta tried to redeem himself to those he hurt, and to himself. Mary Tyler Moore's character in "Ordinary People" simply walked out, losing the battle AND the war. Now how on earth could she ever live with herself? At least LaMotta found a way to live with himself without being the animal of his past.
