Review of Taxi Driver (1976) by Judson P — 14 Dec 2013
An insomniac ex-marine cabbie driver in 1970's New York is the basis for this Scorsese classic. As we look at Robert De Niro's portrayal of this character (whose descent into madness is obvious), I couldn't help but start to bond and root for this character as he chases the girl of his dreams and a child prostitute. The setting of New York is perfect for this movie, teeming with hookers and freaks alike. It's disturbing, but essential in showing America's "finest" city at its worst state.
I can't say more (as I'll spoil it), but this movie is a cinema classic and essential for any movie-goer.
