Review of Taxi Driver (1976) by Mr.hankey — 19 Apr 2006
Brilliant and a bold statement of the film industry. The acting is superb by all cast members and the brilliance of Robert Deniro cannot be denied. The movie is original and deals with loneliness so well.
The movie displays violence towards the scum of the world as Travis Bickle would say. [***SPOILERS***] He trys to help a 12 1/2 year old prostitute, Amazingly played by Jodie Foster. And all hell really just breaks loose.
But you may find Travis as an anti hero because of the violence he uses to protect this girl. But all he wanted to do was show her the right way as many others would say be a Guardian Angel from God. Martin Scorcese did a fabulous job of directing and made a movie that has the most disturbing thematic material you could ever experience but in a way you have too.
