A film to inspire more films

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2020)

I could never wrap my head around seeing Robert De Niro as a young man and how different of a role he played in Taxi Driver than his other films. This movie had it all, action, disturbance, suspense, and a whole lot of crazy. You could just imagine Alex from Clockwork Orange being friends with Travis in this film with the amount of insanity and how they stand by their stance on things 100%. The director, Martin Scorsese has helped direct and produce over 60 films and is known most for this film. It was honestly amazing seeing him work with Robert De Niro in possibly his last film "The Irishman". This film is a about a mentally unstable veteran taxi driver named Travis. Travis is fueled by the world around him from politics to prostitutes. He channels this anger through doing what he thinks is right for the world. This movie always keeps me on my toes and is a great rewatch. The movie ties its events very well together and portrays a great story to watch. My only issues with this film is on how the other actors never really left an impact on me. It was mostly centered around Robert De Niro but whenever anyone else came on screen they just didn't feel important. So close to a 10/10 but a perfect movie is hard to accomplish.
