Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver is one of the best movies of all time.It is about a war veteran named Travis suffering from excessive insomnia and is a little bit mentally unstable,decides to get a job as a taxi driver.During the movie we witness what is going on during the high hours- when according to Travis all the scums(prostitutes,homosexual,drug addicts e.t.c)are coming out from their hideout-,the brief relationship developed between Travis and Betsy and finally Travis' attempt to save a young,teenage prostitute.The movie is perfect in every way.The plot,the cinematography,the soundtrack and most importantly the acting;Robert De Niro as Travis is the epitome of greatness and his character is one of the most distinguished figures of all time in cinema's history.Also the movie contains some of the most known and inspiring quotes of all time such as the "You're talking to me?" line or the memorable "They... cannot... touch....her....".To cut the long story short Taxi Driver is one of the best,greatest and most important movies of all time and should be watched by everyone who loves cinema.
