Martin Scorsese + Robert De Niro= Excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2002)

Robert De Niro plays, no he IS Travis Bickle, a vietnam vet who lives in New York and he can't sleep at nights. So he becomes a taxi driver, who works "anytime, anywhere". He sees New York as a open sewer and a jungle with all the animals, filth, dirt and s***. He prays that a rain will come and wash away all that. But no one is doing anything about the scums and lowlifes, so he desides to do it himself...
One of my all time favorites! Scorsese and De Niro's best film! Why didn't De Niro won the Oscar for best actor? And best picture? Why did Rocky won? C'mon, Rocky! Are you kidding?! And Bernard Herrmann (R.I.P) his score is one of the best scores ever written. And Paul Schrader did a great script. Actully the scene where De Niro standing in front of the mirror and doing his legendary "You're talkin' to me?" was not in the script. De Niro came up with that himself. Jodie Foster was born as a star in this movie. Buy the movie, and for god sake buy the soundtrack!!!
