Review of Taxi Driver (1954) by Sophia M — 04 Oct 2012

Taxi Driver is a clever first generation idea that brings to light the darkness of the human mind and how internal suffering will eventually extend into external pain with an inevitable explosion. Travis Bickle, played by the magnificent Robert De Niro, is a truly legendary character in which actors and directors continuously try to emulate his emotional character.

Travis, who is suffering internally from the scum of the streets, slowly is driven to the edge through insomnia and acts witnessed through experience as a taxi driver. This character infused with a powerful and stunning script, an amazing director, and one of histories (if not the) best actors makes for a top ten best movie of all time.
