Scorsese's Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2012)

This movie have everything, from great script and direction to great performances and edition. We all know, and for those who do not, that Martin Scorsese is an auteur type of director so that he introduces a little of his persona into the film so that we may find things like the music of rock n roll or jazz, plot in the streets or gangs in his movies, because of the life he lived on the streets plus his drug addition to those times. But anyways, talking about the film, Taxi Driver it's indeed a masterpiece. The main character is an unstable Vietnam veteran that uses to work at nights as a taxi driver and every night he encounters new situations with his passengers that even can lead to a murder of another person. This man hates the people that are prostitutes, murderers and all kind of low persons out in the street that he sees every night and he decides that if government don't eliminate people like that, he will get rid of them by himself but as time passes he meets this young girl who works as a prostitute and decides to help her get out from her misery.
In this movie we often hear the jazz music and see variations of camera angles, which it all describes the protagonist puzzled mind. It's really enjoyable to watch,one of the best performances by Robert De Niro. If you're a Scorsese or De Niro's fan this movie is for you, only because is a drama film doesn't mean you'll get bored, instead, you will grow more interested into Martin Scorsese films.
