A good watch.

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2018)

"Listen, you fuckers, you screw-heads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scums, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is someone who stood up."
Taxi Driver is a difficult movie to digest, part of what makes it so infectiously uncomfortable is how it tackles themes of existentialism through a mentally deranged yet charming Robert De Niro. It has this uneasy morbidness and hypnagogic tone covered throughout and although I think the movie has definitely aged, it still is as compelling to watch and relate to in this day and age. A major part of it comes through Robert De Niro's anti-villainist depiction of Travis and him trying to put his lost consciousness back in place after being a social outcast. 7/10, would recommend. A dark hit from the legend Scorsese himself.
