He then casually dumps her after becoming hopelessly infatuated with Vicki, a 15-year-old Jean Harlow look-alike (Cathy Moriarty). In one hyped-up scene after another, he is first seen smacking his first wife around for overcooking his steak. Scorsese, in fact, seems deliberately to resist any opportunity to show La Motta (Robert De Niro) as anything but a wounded beast who seems to be in constant battle with himself and everyone around him. The movie, filmed mostly in black and white, which gives it a '30s look, totally ignores his reform school background, offering no explanations as to his anti-social behavior. La Motta served as a technical consultant on Scorsese's "Raging Bull," which is based on his autobiography, but one would think he would be disturbed by this all-out assault on his character.
