A Very Young Robert DiNero

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2011)

No matter how many movies I see Robert DiNero in, I am always left speechless at his performance. I can't remember the first movie I saw him in, but I had never seen this movie. Of course, I had seen that one famous seen - the "you talking' to me" scene. It has been spoofed and made of in countless films and TV shows, so when I knew I was going to watch it in it's seriousness, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel. Of course, there was no comedic acting in this scene. It was quite terrifying, in the sense that Robert DiNero made me believe he was truly dangerous and psychotic. The fact that this movie came out in 1976 was very important to the context of the movie. People were angry at the government, they became anti-establishment and very vocal about their concerns and this movie gave the people a spokesperson in Bickle.
