This masterpiece managed to join two of big stars of Hollywood,Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro.
Regardind the famous actor,lately,we usually watch Robert De Niro in a comedy films,but This fabolous actor started in Drama films,like 'Godfather' or 'The deep Hunter' and one of them was 'Taxi Driver'.
'Taxi Driver' is wonderful directed by Martin Scorsese and writer by Paul Scharade.It sets in 1976. It is decorated in New York in 70s.The film won several awards like a Palme d'Or in Cannes festival.Besides,it got four nominations to academy awards.Nowadays,It is considered and cited by critics,film directors,and audiences like a one of the most greatest films of all time.
This American neo-noir psychological thriller is related after Vietnan war.Travis Bickley (Robert de Niro) is an excombatient of American Marine.Travis is profound depression.His pastimes are watch porn movies and write a diary.He starts to work as a Taxi driver.During his job time,Travis meets a campaign volunteer for presidential candidate (played by Cybill Sphepherd),and he falls in love with her.The film has to part totally diferenced,on the one hand the relationship between Travis and a young prostitute (interpretyed by a really young Jodie Foster),Travis tries to help to end up this ocupation.On the other hand,Travis Bickley suffers the chronic insomnia that reflets in his violence ideas.
The film is very well-directed and the plot is really gripping.Martin Scorsese knows how to analyze the Travis character. Personally,I enjoyed watching 'Taxi Driver' which I didn't know anything about it before watching.I would strongly recommend this film to anyone.
As Travis Bickley might say 'Firstly men,and then the politics'.....
