One of the Greatest Films Ever Made

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2002)

Taxi Driver has haunted me from the first day I saw it, as an 18 year old back in 1976, to today. Scorcese and DeNiro hit the jackpot with this one. DeNiro plays a man who slowly unhinges before our eyes, but the genius of the film is that it captures the feelings of "everyman"... and this is back in 1976!!! Remember, this is the movie that supposedly motivated the man who tried to kill Pres. Ronald Reagan in 1981.
However, if you look carefully at the movie, it does not condone violence. It is clear that Travis (the DeNiro character) is losing his mind. See it... but be prepared!! Oh, and I forgot to mention... Bernard Herrmann's score will not ever be topped. I mean EVER!
