Because it was too expensive to do it in colour, it was either black and white or sell a kidney and a nipple. :) hope this helped

Which movie did director Martin Scorsese create in 1980?

Raging Bull


Who directed the 1980 film raging bull?

The 1980 film Raging Bull was directed by Martin Scorsese. It starred Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci telling the story of American boxer Jake LaMotta. It is considered one of the great movies of the 20th century.


Is Goodfellas or Raging Bull more critically acclaimed as a better Scorsese film?

This is a very tricky question. If you want to go by stats alone, It seems as though Goodfellas would win by a nose. Goodfellas was nominated for or won 20 different awards including 6 Oscar nominations (with 1 win for Joe Pesci). Raging Bull, on the other hand, was nominated for or won 12 different awards. However, it did better than Goodfellas at the Oscars racking up 8 nominations and 2 wins (De Niro and flim editing). Technically, more awards were created between the ten years Raging Bull was made and released (1980) and the release of Goodfellas (1990). That's not to say Raging Bull would've been nominated for more awards, but like Goodfellas, it certainly would've had the opportunity to be. The American Film Institute put out a list of "the 100 greatest movies of all-time". This list has been heavily critized because of its exclusion of non-American films. However, with a few exceptions, most critics believe that the list gets it mostly right in its selection of American films. AFI ranks Raging Bull at #24 and Goodfellas squeaks in at number #94. Most other comprehensive "greats" lists also rank Raging Bull ahead of Goodfellas. From a more philosophical standpoint, most critics would agree that Raging Bull cemented Scorcese as one most influential directors of all time. Without Raging Bull, there really is no Goodfellas. Raging Bull also gives us one of film's greatest performances by way of Robert De Niro. Artistically, Scorcese takes more chances with Raging Bull, chances that are not as apparent in Goodfellas. For where Scorcese was in his career and for what it meant to the history of film, most critcs would say Raging Bull is a better film than Goodfellas. Ultimately, they are both great, highly-revered films and will forever be loved by audiences and critics alike.

Can a black cow and a bull have a white calf?

No. Black is a dominant colour, no matter what colour the bull is. If the bull is white, the calf will be grey. If a bull is black, the calf will be black; if a bull is a blue roan, the calf will be most likely a darker roan or even black; if a bull is red or brown, the calf will be black; if a bull is yellow or orange the calf will be either grey or black.
