Perfect Movie? One of the best ever made?

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2019)

To come to those questions require a film to do a helluvalot of stuff. And Taxi Driver delivers!
Taxi Driver comes from Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader, two men dedicated to their craft and excellent at what they do. It tells the tale of a lonesome man who takes a job as a taxi driver. He is definitely unbalanced, and there is something wrong that you could tell only from following him as closely as we are as the audience. He meets a beautiful blonde woman working in politics, and decides to take her to a porn movie. That just shows the depth of his character, in not even understanding that that would be the wrong move.
The movie trails off towards the end, but still you feel something special when watching it. But the movie tells the story of a lonesome man, doing lonely things, and yet sort of destined to make a change for the world. He has all the pride in himself, and stands by his thoughts and actions.
It's definitely a movie worth watching. Lonely is really the only word that comes to mind when watching it. Highly recommended.
