A Full Crackdown on a hypocritical lonely mind

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2008)

Robert De Niro was born August 17, 1943, but he came alive when Taxi Driver hit the screen.
Quite frankly, all angles looked at, all emotions carefully examined, every inch of this movie thought about, you are left with one thought... "Is what is pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods" See, you can watch this movie with an IQ of 100 and come out saying woah that was quite an amazing movie, but if you are just slightly smarter than the average person you will come out pondering your own sense of good/evil.
Right wing views, left wing views, centralised views are all presented in this wonderfully crafted movie through the eyes of De niro a common guy, a taxi driver, a lonely law abiding man who just cannot stand the very society he lives in.
I could ramble on the series of flawless performances in this movie especially De Niro but I commenting merely to point out that this movie deals with some very important questions.
The bottom line is that if you react to crime with a harsh line does that make you equal to the original crime or is subvertion to law allowed in extreme cases? Watch the taxi driver and you will gain insight to that very question
