Taxi Driver Review

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2014)

Although this film was not my all time favorite I did think it did have a good overall message; war is damaging. I think Robert De Nero is perfect for this part; a veteran who has taken an overnight shifts as a taxi driver and is now obsessed with crime and cleaning up the city. I think it was interesting to see, even though it was terrible to watch, the progression of a veteran go from attempting to be a normal man post the war, to a crazy man at the end of the film. The end of the movie was great when he goes on the killing rampage in attempt to save the young girl. The cops come in and there he is sitting on the couch, after getting shot in the neck and he puts his bloody hand up to his head, in the shape of a gun, and pretends to shoot himself over and over again. This just shows how crazy he has really gotten over the course of time.
