one of scorsese's best ever 8\10

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2020)

What I love most about "Taxi Driver" is the score of the movie by Bernard Herrmann. you can't avoid not hearing that beatiful score composed by him. of course the colores in the movie were great and it gives you a dark version of new york. the main subject of the film is of course Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro). this character is a complete ticking bomb that waits to explode anytime soon. but when you look closely, maybe you can agree with his point of view and his actions. all he wants to do is wipe out all the crime and drugs of the streets but he takes the law into his own hands. and this is something a lot of people can justify. everyone would have wanted to take the law into his own matters. Travis feels like he needs to save both the women he adores: Betsy is "in danger" by the world of politics and iris is in danger by all the gangsters around her. eventually he saves only iris from the world of crime, which seems logical but in travis's point of view he needs to do more, that's why in the ending Travis hasn't changed, he is still going to take matters into his own hands and it is question of time when will he "explode" again. scorsese, you nailed it again.
