Martin Scorsese's best film!

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2002)

A modern piece of art. Scorsese( he actually plays a little part in this film) is a very good director and after having seen these I think it's his best film, his direction is perfect. It's about a Vietnam veteran who can not sleep so he decides to work long shifts. When he drives around he sees all kinds of creepy things he is soon near a breakdown.
Robert De Niro's performance as Travis Bickle is both one of the best and one of the most frightening performances I have ever seen. The scenes were he talking to himself in the mirror is entertaining still very frightening. In the end you understand everything clearly( I had many visions of what happened after the film had end).
The film is very scary and the music by Bernard Herrmann is superb(He died right after the music for the film was completed). "Taxi Driver" is a masterpiece that you could see more then once. I agree much on it's current position on the top 250: number 29.
10/10
