Alcoholic cinematography and intoxicating music!

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2016)

This is what I start Martin Scorsese's movies with. Definitely a gem in very unique and tonic way. In my journey of movies so far, I never felt so much of refreshed after watching a long queue of nice and worse movies. This definitely doesn't lie in the later section. Martin Scorsese directed this in a ravishing, prepossessing and hedonistic modus operandi. From start to finish, each detail, each scene, each shot is taken in alluring way that the viewer get as much possible attached to the movie and never get back even after finishing up movie. Of course, script was much good and Scorsese put up his whole heart and even though there were flaws but this movie is really striking.
The script has its problems. Writing is a bit lousy. Character development takes much longer time. And the real deal starts with second half. This is what make movie stretchy and overly done. But again, does this affect anything else important in this movie? Check it out:
Direction- Top notch. Acting- Robert De Niro in his complete form. Give blows when needed. Cinematography- This is what makes the movie more emblazoned. Look out for sure. Background music- Makes you addicted with the movie.
Oh God! I couldn't believe I finally watched this movie which I was craving for since I joined IMDb. Again, De Niro would be proud of himself characterizing himself in such a bold role and I guess most of the viewers of Taxi Driver won't be able to forget Travis Bickle in their life.
