My Movie Collection:TAXI DRIVER

"Some day a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets."


Robert DeNiro's performance in Taxi Driver as Travis is one of the best I have ever seen. DeNiro does every pause, smirk, and stare in exactly the right time. He transformed a despicable and psychotic character into a lonely and desperate man, who the audience can relate and understand. His scenes talking to himself in the mirror is entertaining, at the same time, terrifying.
-Johnpaulz(IMDB.com)

The great aspect I like in this movie is the touching storyline about a mentally unstable youth(Robert De Niro) called by name Travis a taxi driver who as been noted for his disgusting and unruly behaviour.

Intially Travis falls in love with a beautiful gal Betsy but soon there relationship broke up as Betsy mistook Travis in one occasion and ignored him, but Travis could'nt resist himself without Betsy and was totally heart broken.
Once on his way home he met a 12 year old gal (Jodi Foster) abducted and subjected to prostitution illegaly thus this incident makes travis to go violent towards pimps and thus he finds the way to rescue her.....as of climax everybody, including media makes Travis as a National figure for rescuing a gal from such scum and making Betsy brokenhearted.

If u get a chance dont miss it ,especially the scene with Betsy at the end is excellent.
