At the time-the late 70s-no one could understand what the actor saw in the life story of Jake La Motta, the brutal, yet curiously masochistic, middleweight boxing champion from 1949 to 1951, who may have been bull-like in the ring but was often more raving than raging when he was just trying to live his life. By which he means that it was Robert De Niro’s driving passion, long before it became Martin Scorsese’s common-consent greatest work. However when you look at post 2000, De Niro has not given any really great performance except for the Irishmanm Pacino on the other hand has given us Insomnia, Merchant of Venice, and add to that his Emmy's for You Know Jack, Angels in America.‘It was Bob’s film,” says Irwin Winkler, the producer of Raging Bull. De Niro could easily switch from an intense Raging Bull to a pyschotic Cape Fear to a more fun filled Midnight Run with ease, without really repeating himself much.Īlso Al Pacino's forays into comedy have never really worked, De Niro on the other hand with Midnight Run, Analyze This and even Meet the Parents did quite well in the genre. I believed that was the reason De Niro, quite often kept switching to the comedy movies. Robert De Niro, on the other hand, had the knack of slipping into the character effortlessly, though for some time he was also getting stuck in the "Gruff, hard talking" gangster kind of roles. Basically he was just redoing Frank Slade or Tony Montana, and somewhere down the line was really missing Michael Corleone.
Basically in a way Scent of a Woman's success and the Oscar he got ensured producers wanted him to play different versions of the same cycnical, worldly wise, gruff character. But much like Jack Nicholson, Pacino has tended to play himself in every other movie from quite a long time. The eternal debate about two of the greatest actors ever, personally am more a fan of Pacino, just due to his long winded monologues, he literally chews it up there.
