A film in someway, we can all identify with.

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2001)

I have watched this movie time and time again and it never fails to captivate me. Travis Bickle is the epitome of loneliness and despair. He starts off in the film to be a decent sort of guy but little incidents add to a time bomb that probably started ticking years before. He does not seem to understand the world and looks for his own solutions which although we can understand, are not the right ones. The scene where he takes betsy to the porn cinema is quite unbearable to watch. he see's nothing wrong in it. De Niro gives the most powerful performance by an actor ever and the haunting score by Bernard Herrmann is inspired.
