| Taxi Driver  | | | |  Taxi Driver is a 1976 American motion picture drama directed by Martin Scorsese. It is widely considered one of the greatest and most controversial films in the history of American cinema and frequently praised for its strong performances and gritty realism. It is often considered a sort of existentialist film, due to both its realism and influences from existential works such as Notes from Underground and Crime and Punishment. Scorsese also demonstrates an appreciation for the French New Wave through use of cinematic devices such as the jump cut. The film also made stars out of both its lead actors, Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster, the latter of whom was only thirteen years old when the movie was released.
The famed Bernard Herrmann, who is noted for his work with Alfred Hitchcock (especially Psycho), scored Taxi Driver. The soundtrack was the last one he completed prior to his death, before the film was released. Taxi Driver was dedicated to his memory.

| |  Like?!!! LOVE should be the apt word... This is definitively one of the greatest films ever made... Both Scorsese as well as De Niro were at their peaks at the time as this is (in my opinion) their greatest collaboration... The intensity of De Niro is simply incredible here. Jodie Foster shows a maturity that is rarely seen among child actors... Her coming greatness is indicated in this role...
And what about the finishing sequence... Whether it is a dreamlike sequence or not has already been hotly debated, and will continue to be by movie connoiseurs...
However, I believe that it is Paul Schrader's vision that has come out in the film rather than Scorsese's... The film itself has almost completely been 'directed' by the script itself... What's your opinion on this???

| | In my opinion, it's the greatest film Scorsese has made so far. And it's Robert De Niro's second greatest performance on screen (His turn in "Raging Bull" takes the cake here). This film works on so many different levels. It deserved the best film Oscar for 1976 over the mass-pleasing "Rocky". What's even more devastating was the Scorsese was bypassed for a nomination. And awarding Peter Finch, who was practically playing a supporting role in "Network", over Robert De Niro's stunning, powerful act was one of Oscar's biggest blunders. "Taxi Driver" is a film that still has the visceral power to shock audiences. Deserving of a spot of one of the all-time greatest films in American film history. | | | | | | | | | | X-Ray Copy Service #1 in America Providing Medical X-Ray Duplication and Digitizing Svc. www.xraycopyservice.com | add comment | | | |
