Review of Taxi Driver (1976) by Chris M — 06 Jan 2013
Have you ever felt that you were part of a cruel, dark world that views your existence as insignificant and is filled with selfish people whom you can't connect with? Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), an ex-Marine who works as a night time cab driver in 1970's New York, is one such person who feels this way.
As his isolation and dissatisfaction with society increases, he is determined to save a young teen (Jodie Foster) from a pimp (Harvey Keitel) and win the love of a presidential campaign worker (Cybill Shepherd) in Martin Scorsese's magnificent drama, Taxi Driver.
With Robert De Niro's outstanding central performance, Bernard Herrmann's terrific final score, and Martin Scorsese's excellent direction, Taxi Driver ranks as one of the most socially relevant films from the 1970's.
