The flight from Korea was punctuated by one of Martin Scorcese’s great films – Raging Bull. Shot entirely in black and white Scorcese explores the rise and fall of Hell’s Kitchen boxer Jake La Motta. The imagery is reminiscent of early photography by Robert Frank. This photograph is one of a series of Simeon and his neighbour at the time Bruno, in the middle of a home buzz cut. These guys are by no means on a journey of self destruction like Jake, quite the opposite, the image itself captures the everyday side of life that informs the film. Raging Bull won Robert De Niro an Oscar for Best Actor in 1980, thought at the time the film received a lot of flack due to the violence depicted, the film itself was voted by the Academy as the best film of the 80s. An amazing way to spend two hours, especially on a ten hour flight. AA
