Remarkable, Scorsese = Genius

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2015)

This film has everything you could possibly want in a film. Drama, action, mystery. Scorsese gives us it all. Genres seem to change all throughout the film. From the begin starting mysteriously, and making the audience want to truly learn more about Travis Bickle, the main character played by Robert De Niro. De Niro plays the role of Travis so well it's amazing. You talking' to me? The cinematography of the film is abstract and fits just right. Many rack focuses, and many tracking shots, montages, and medium shots. It's got it all. The film follows Travis' lonely life as a taxi driver in New York City. We truly see Travis' life of isolation, being out of touch almost with most of the outside world besides what people tell him. The lighting is remarkable and the score is very noire like fitting a night time New York City feel. I'll always love this film. It's about so much more than it seems.
