Love makes you do crazy things

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2010)

I felt this movie did a great job portraying New York City during this time period. The movie also did a great job showing just how much war Veterans can suffer after serving their time in the service. Its a harsh reality that most people don't take seriously. Travis had severe sleeping deprivation along with mental issues and I was nervous just watching the movie to see what was going to be his next action. Some of the camera shots that were filmed from the inside of the cab looking out were mysterious looking as well and also had a "dark side" to them which added to the mis-en-scene. Another aspect I found that was done very well was the NYC street theme; they were dingy, dirty, full of filth, graffiti, drugs, prostitutes. For as twisted as crazy Travis seemed all he really wanted to do was make the world a better place; but it was for a twisted reason; a girl who wanted nothing to do with him. So does that make him crazy or not?
