Add a CommentI truly did not like this movie. Perhaps I don't have the same pseudo-psychotic New York state of mind, but it was long, drawn-out, downright dull, and, with no pay-off for all that time spent watching, ultimately disappointing. Jodie Foster's role is minimal (which is a shame), as is Harvey Keitel's. Cybil Shepherd is in it periodically (mostly the first hour), but it is really just a showcase for Robert DeNiro to growl at the screen and do a lot of inner monologues. It was just not worth my time. I'd rather watch GOODFELLAS, CASINO, THE DEPARTED, or, for a different tone entirely, HUGO to get my serving of Scorsese. I do not recommend TAXI DRIVER.
A Heavyweight knockout. One of the most powerful movies of all time. If you love reading Dostoyevsky, you'll love this movie. There is a Travis Bickle in everyone. At least there is one in me, which is something I'm ashamed and proud of at the same time. "Loneliness has been following me my whole life. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."
in this movie, life is aimless
