A true spectacle told from an first person narrative.

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2015)

The Taxi Driver, in my opinion is one of the finest pieces of art in the world of films, this a movie that gives the awe and surprise of seeing something that is truly spectacular to watch. Martin Scorscese has proved through this movie that he is one of the finest in Hollywood. Robert Di Nero is totally amazing in his role, his battle with loneliness and sleep deprivation are brilliantly brought on screen. Jodie foster was good as well. The film is set in New York and it beautifully captures the crumbling social structure and racist themes that prevailed in the those times. I saw this movie after I saw David Fincher's 'Seven' and it reminded of that city in that movie quite a bit. Every shot in this movie tells a visual poignant tale and aids the dark first person narration. I think this is the biggest reasons why this movie is something to watch.
