The Magic of Scorsese

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2014)

Taxi Driver (1976) directed by Martin Scorsese is an interesting piece of filmmaking. The film's main star Travis Bickle played by Robert De Niro ,is an edgy character with many moral flaws. The film has an excellent plot alongside an equally satisfying setting. The quality during the violence is top notch. It is artistically gory, and the colors used during the violence is different and interesting. The film has iconic dialogue such as the famous "are you talking to me". The film could not have shined if it hadn't been for De Niro's performance. This movie is a classic example of the wonders of new Hollywood, and Scorsese as the master filmmaker. Overall I give Taxi Driver (1976) a 9 out of 10.
