You talking to me?

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2008)

I was amazed by this movie. Everything about it was perfect. Robert DeNiro gives what I believe is his best performance ever as Travis Bickle. He tells everything so well, so in-depth that I could actually picture every scene he described even when it was not shown. Travis Bickle reminds me a lot of myself. I could relate to him in so many ways it was almost scary. Im not saying we're the SAME but similar in many ways. This isn't a movie for the type who only like modern movies with "200% action". They have no soul. This movie HAS soul. This is a film for true movie fans. Robert DeNiro was great, but so were the others. Cybill Shepherd gave quite a performance as DeNiro's "5-minute flame" Betsy. Jody Foster actually played very well as the 12-year old prostitute Iris Steensma. Peter Boyle was very well cast as Bickle's cabby friend Wizard. Even Harvey Keitel shows a good performance as Iris' pimp, Matthew aka "Sport". I love this movie, and it will always be a classic to me. 10/10
