Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver(Directed By: Martin Scorsese)

''You're only as healthy as you feel.''

Well another first watch for me. I seen Taxi Driver a few weeks ago for the first time and i was not to sure about it to be honest, yeah sure it has its good points but i thought it also had its bad. Taxi driver is about... you guessed it a taxi driver, an ex marine taxi driver who suffers from insomnia. Travis played by Robert De Niro is a loner who is discusted in new york city and what is going wrong with mankind. Taxi Driver follows Travis as he becomes obsessed with a young woman Betsy and how Travis wants to make the world a better place.

Well first of Robert De Niro is fantastic, ime a big fan of De Niro and love alot of his older movies like Goodfellas, Casino, Heat... not so much his newer releases ( Fockers nooooo), but anyway this was a brilliant performance and probabley one of his finest. Jodie Foster was also great, she hasn't changed at all haha she looks exacley the same, all the cast infact are great which is why alot of people may love this movie, not to sure where i stand with it tho. First problem i had was it seemed to go on for ever, there was times where i got bored and it wern't just the once either. Another thing was that stupid music that played throughout the whole movie, it starting really annoying me. Ime not saying i didn't like Taxi Driver it has alot of great scenes and moments, ime just not as big of a fan as a lot of other people.

Maybe if i had seen this movie back when it was released i might of enjoyed it alot more... (even tho i wern't born). Taxi Driver is a good film, not great but i enjoyed it, the cast where all great and the movie looked good... i liked the whole dark feel it had going on. Still ime glad i got around to watching Taxi Driver.
