a disturbing masterpiece
Love this movie. De Niro is simply one of my favorite and best actors of all time. It`s super good. Must see.
Robert De Niro at his very best.
Travis Bickle: You're only as healthy as you feel.
Travis Bickle: You talkin' to me?
This was an excellent movie. Robert De Niro is an excellent actor, and this was another great film of his. Jodi Foster's small part in this movie was great as well. A must see!!! :)
This movie is a long drawn out descent into madness. The first time I saw this film I was shocked by how the storyline progressed. This film is the antithesis of predictable. I can honestly say that after watching this film I was utterly speechless, I rewinded the tape and watche...( read more)
I Can't say much for Taxi Driver that it doesn't say for itself through the years and years its had to reverberate through the annals of film. Whether you like it or not, it's a classic, something other films will be inspired by. Maybe there are some that do it better, may...( read more)
Something of a masterpiece. Certainly not like anything I've ever seen before.
What a violent movie! De Niro his just trully asome in is taxi driver.. Love Harvey Keitel too, what a good actor!
The impact this film has had on cinema has been vast. A film true to its time, a social commentary on the public's lack of faith in politicians and the possible extent their paranoia could lead us. Plus you have three people on top of their game, Robert DeNiro, Martin Scorsese an...( read more)
Can't believe I've spent half my life driving a hack and never seen this movie
Shallow. De Niro does a good job, but the story in itself gives a rather narrow perspective on the anxietys of Mr Bickle and the people he meets. Not enough depth to keep me interested. Although the cinematography does look quite convincing in itself.
Scorses's masterpiece; an unflinching glimpse and meditation on the post-Nixon era in New York City where the political climate is as tense as the neurosis of it's inhabitants. The film's technique in bringing the viewer into the mind of Travis Bickle is effective in creating a v...( read more)
Who knew shaving your hair into a mohawk and wearing a gun strap shirtless can be so inviting? De Niro looks like he's ready to snap on any passerby. He can obsess with the best of them, but with much more grace. Bulletproof vest? No, he doesn't need it. He can absorb bullets and...( read more)
Increible film by Martin Scorsese, his second masterpiece (the first being Mean Streets), Robert De Niro is as brilliant as ever in his role as an insane taxi driver who slowly goes over the edge.
i seen this movie a long time ago, it has allot of voilence in it and blood in a few parts. actor rober Dinero street vigalanti saves young actor Jodie Foster playing the role of 13 year old prostitute, Deniro faces her slimy pimp and kills him. this occurs in many inner cities s...( read more)
Outstanding film. One of Scorsese's best and the second best film of 1976. The story is amazing when it describes how New York is and how the people are. The acting by De Niro, Foster and Keitel are incredible and is one of the best performances of their careers. This film also h...( read more)
Travis is the god of humanity! The human condition is depicted perfectly in this movie.
orses's masterpiece and the sweet goodbye from Bernard Herrmann. Forget De Niro and 'You talking to me?', this is a moral tale of great complexity and subtlety. THe images oscillate infuriatingly between crude objectivity and poetic subjectivity... and Cybil Shepherd is fabulous.
I was too young when I saw this, I'll probably need to see this again to give it the review it deserves.
Tá mais pra uma fantasia do escritor mesmo do que para algo real. É como pudesse colocar em prática os pensamentos de justiça olho por olho das pessoas sem cultura que vivem nas cidades grandes.
Mas eu realmente esperava mais desse filme
Incredible cast and direction, but it's De Niro's movie, clearly. He's amazing in every scene and builds this incredibly intense character.
Clearly from a different era. Also, I'm not quite sure what to make of the epilogue.
"Listen you fuckers, you screwheads. Here´s a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit, here is someone who stood up. Here is (...) You´re dead!"![]()
Brilliant is all I can say! Robert de Niro is fantastic and gives one of the best performances I have seen im act, top film that I will watch again and again!
