Back when movie making was art

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2017)

Taxi Driver is one of those films you have two watch multiple times. Arguably Robert De Niro best acting performance. He plays someone we can all relate to in one way or another. Travis is a lonesome, disgruntled war veteran, who wanders around New York City. This movie is one of the best depictions of New York City, showing at times its beauty and also its darker sides. However " Betsy's theme" is what brings this movie all together. I firmly believe that the simple sounds of a saxophone bring this film home!! A dark depressing,and at times beautiful movie that will stick with you long after watching.
