One of my favorites

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2017)

Taxi Driver is my favorite film from the director Martin Scorsese and it's definitely one my favorites movies of all time. It's brilliant direction, remarkable acting, deep writing, the dark 70's New York atmosphere that gets even better with the beautiful soundtrack score, everything is just perfect.
The movie is about this Vietnam War veteran (Robert DeNiro at it's finest) that needs to get a job and, because of his insomnia problem, he decides to get the taxi's night shift. In the meantime, he gets attached to a beautiful woman working on a political campaign (gorgeous Cybill Shepherd), and to a teenager working as a prostitute (early and prodigious Jodie Foster). The rest is history.
Going against the trending of the time, instead of showing a wonderful and perfect New York City, the film exposes the bad and dangerous side of the town: crime, prostitution, trending porn theaters. It matches with the story.
There are numerous reasons of why you should watch Taxi Driver. It's a classic, it's in Robert DeNiro's, Jodie Foster's, Bernard Herrmann's and Scorsese's curriculum, it's deep dialogues and monologues... It's an excellent film.
