Taxi Driver Is Not Just A Film, It’s A Descent Into Isolation And Obsession. Nearly Fifty Years Later, It Still Feels Dangerous. Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver is one of those rare films that does not age quietly. It lingers. It disturbs. It refuses to sit comfortably in the past. Released in 1976, it captured a grimy, decaying New York City and turned it into a psychological battlefield. Scorsese directs with a raw…More

Taxi Driver was released in 1976, right in the middle of a gritty era of American filmmaking. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film captures a version of New York City that feels raw, broken, and alive. This is not a comfortable movie, but that is exactly why it lasts. Robert De Niro delivers one of the most iconic performances in film history as Travis Bickle. A lonely Vietnam veteran working nights as a cab driver…More
Source So, the story is that I recently binge-watched Taxi Driver. My initial expectation was just to watch a light action drama for entertainment...but it turned out to be more than that. This isn't just a drama about fighting or car chases, but it touches on the issue of justice , which is sometimes difficult to obtain in the real world. Source The main character is Kim Do-ki (Lee Je-hoon) , a former elite soldier…More

When I saw NYC on the title of the week's Contest; the good old neon lights, nighttime square, sparkling, and busy streets came to mind. *I was having a glimpse of a movie in my mind but can't remember what it was. Only one image came to my mind, and that's the face of young Robert De Niro. And I remember the monologue style of describing his own life. I had to search for the movie's name as I have watched it many y…More
I believe there is so much to say about the first season of this Kdrama, The Taxi Driver, and I did a good job of writing a review about that sometime in 2021. I wasn't expecting a second season because the first season was wholesome, but when I started hearing snippets of the coming of a second season, I knew I would be one of those to check it out. Well, I've seen everything there is to see about the second season…More
It is a movie that I have been wanting to watch for awhile (mostly just to catch a glimpse at young Robert DeNiro~), one that is critically acclaimed, but most importantly, it is a film that was produced before this era of woke garbage. I am talking, of course, about the movie Taxi Driver. SPOILERS AHEAD Now, we have a bit of an oldie here! Our story takes place in 1970s New York City. If you are unfamiliar with the…More

Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro Dirigida por Matin Scorsese y protagonizada por Robert De Niro # At the end of the 1960s and early 1970s, a new generation of film directors who graduated from the university emerged in Hollywood (something unprecedented in the industry) who defined what would be the history of the seventh art from then on.

Hace pocos días un amigo me comentó que podía ver en streaming la película “Taxi Driver” (1976), del director Martin Scorsese. Tenía mucho tiempo que no la veía y una buena parte de sus memorables escenas ya no estaban en mi memoria, así que me decidí por darle un nuevo visionado. Para el momento de su estreno la película fue considerada bastante violenta, un asunto que llamaba la atención porque tanto su guionista…More
Yesterday i rewatched one of the greatest movies of all time. A true masterpiece of the cinema. I strongly suggest everyone to watch it if you hadn’t Taxi driver The plot of the film revolves around a taxi driver in New York, Travis Bickle, who is clearly mentally disturbed and works night shifts because he suffers from insomnia after returning from Vietnam. He himself, of course, is unaware of his plight, but consi…More
Recuerdo que cuando me gradué de la universidad, hace unos 5 años aproximadamente en mi rostro se dibujó una sonrisa porque finalmente tendría tiempo de ver todas las series y películas que mis responsabilidades como estudiante a punto de graduarse no me habían permitido ver. Esa lista se iba alimentando con recomendaciones de mis allegados, pero sobre todo crecía gracias a una de mis metas como intento de cinéfila,…More
source) *The law is only work for the pauper, and does not work for the authority* Have you ever heard that term? I thought you are the witness about the law which's unfair for the weak and poor peoples. Recently, in our country, there's a similar case. A father was robbed by four peoples. Then he defends himself and accidentally two mugger are dead. But did you know how the law judge it? A father who's doing self d…More
Every time I watch Martin Scorsese's films, I realize just how much insight the director has into human beings. His insight calmly illuminates the anxious individual beings unable to settle in a society that is going through a period of boom and growth that seems to have no problems. And finally, critically pinches the absurdity and imbalance of the community hidden behind it. Travis is a post-war generation. H…More

▶️ Watch on 3Speak If you want to see a young Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver is one of those films you should watch. I have no recollection of watching this film in the past so I'm grateful to have to see films you'd consider to be classic films with fresh eyes. This film was released in 1976. Quite a long time ago and I don't have to stress it but I will, seeing Robert De Niro as a young man was fascinating for me. I…More

Paul Schrader was 26 and broke when he wrote Taxi Driver. '' In 1973 I had been through a particularly rough time, living more or less in my car in Los Angeles. riding around all night, drinking heavily, going to porno movies because they were open all night, and crashing some place during the day. Then, finally, I went to the emergency room in serious pain, and it turned out I had an ulcer. While I was in the hospi…More
It was a rough period in the history of New York—as a matter of fact, the famous Daily News headline “Ford to City: Drop Dead” came out while we were editing. Although I couldn’t tell the difference. Apparently, the city felt like it was falling apart, there was garbage everywhere, and for someone like Travis, who’s come from the Midwest, the New York of the mid-’70s would be hell—[that] must have prompted visions o…More
-via IMDB.com I love the work of Martin Scorsese. Good Fellas and Casino are incredible. I thought The Departed was great. Cape Fear was my first Scorsese film and I really liked it. I like his failures, as well, to a degree; Bringing Out The Dead didn't quite work but I admired his ambition. I haven't seen all his stuff yet, partly because of availability, partly because of my own quiet pathology with movies (huh?…More
Mi abuela y yo acabamos de ver esta magnífica obra de arte de Martin Scorsese, con un Robert De Niro haciendo magistralmente el papel de un hombre mentalmente perturbado por un insomnio que el propio personaje por alguna que otra razón no se ha querido tratar, y con una joven Jodie Foster en el papel de una prostituta infantil seducida y manipulada por un proxeneta maquiavélico bien retratado por un joven Harv…More
