A movie experience not to be missed

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2002)

In my favorite Robert DeNiro movie ever, Martin Scorsese introduced us to the mind of a man with a serious wannabe-hero complex. Wonderfully shot and conceived, this film was one of those movies where you have to see to believe. While his scene has been mimicked and mocked so many times, seeing DeNiro perform his mano-o-mano bravado routine on his mirror is still fresh and cool, even today. While many of Travis Bickle's tendencies are unclear, its all about his reactions to the people surrounding him. How Bickle responds to everyone else in the world is really quite priceless. And to think, Jodie Foster was doing Disney films at the time. It's really hard to analyze a film that has been analyzed to death. Nonetheless, this film will be remembered forever.
