"As a postmodern film biography, Raging Bull refers most directly not to Jake LaMotta's life or even his autobiography but to other films. With its references to different film genres, past film performances, and dif ferent codes of realism, Raging Bull displays intertextuality as a fundamental feature of its aesthetic design.

Thus, it documents an emerging shift in our experience and sense of subjectivity. The question of who Jake LaMotta is, then, the question of identity, remains open-ended."
