If I remember right, Scorsese's point with the colored-section of the film was to prevent home made-esque family pictures, which while they are "happy", you can tell from their eyes that their emotions aren't exactly honest.
To be honest with you, I think "Jake's" only happy time in his life was when he was in the ring, for he really was an animal, and his usually contained-rage going unleashed against the poor sucker in the ring with him. Besides, notice that he became even worse of a person once he quit boxing. Just imagine what if a dancing monkey doesn't have an organ grinder?
Glad you dig Scorsese so far. You should also go watch Scorsese's CASINO, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, TAXI DRIVER, MEAN STREETS, and KING OF COMEDY. There are more, but those are really the titles that any movie buff should check out.
Thanks for the explanation Ronnie.
Another movie yesterday night: Station Agent Small budget movie about 3 interesting characters. It is basically a character study, not much of plot. For 1 hour and 10 min, a good movie.
