Everyone is Travis Bickle

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2005)

This is my personal favorite movie. Everyone has a Travis Bickle in them. I suggest this movie to anyone who feels as though the world is crashing down on them. Some scenes are so breath taking when you can actually see what Travis is feeling. Harvey Keitel does a magnificent job of playing a desperate pimp who can only find love from one of his underage prostitutes. I believe this film captures a broad view of early New York life, before all of the strip clubs and "scum" were washed down the drain. Robert Deniro truly found himself in his early roles, such as Raging Bull, Deer Hunter. However, I truly believe this is his best role.
