Taxi Driver is a film directed by Martin Scorsese starring Robert De Niro.With Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel and Cybill Shepherd (from Moonlight, yes).It is written by Paul Schrader.Travis Bickle is a taxi driver who becomes obsessed with a dirty, crime-ridden New York.Secretly, he dreams of being the one to clean her up from the dirt of the New York night.A film that marked the cinema of the 70s and a generational portrait before the Platoon (Oliver Stone) arrived.A main character as sinister as he is attractive, a gloomy story in a sordid landscape and one of the best portraits of that New York that was disguised as lights and nourished by sad shadows.Taxi Diver was the film that made Scorsese known and that would make him (ultimately) what he is today.The love of the director of Gangs of New York for the city is well known, and, without this being his first portrait (it comes from Malas Calles, another with De Niro), it was his most gloomy (to date, many more would come ).It is a brutal, attractive and very charismatic film (like De Niro's hairstyle towards the end of the film), a controversial film that does not leave the leaders, or the city… not even the public well.It is not self-indulgent nor is it going to give you what you ask for, but it is a very bitter social portrait of a post-Vietnam generation that is not found and that, upon his return, finds a shattered country.What had all this been for?Travis Bickle gives us a dire solution.By the way, there are those who say that the end is the result of the protagonist's fantasy.There are theories for everyone.Taxi Driver is one of the most impressive films of an impressive time in which the cinema was in the process of change.This film was one of the helped that evolution.Martin Scorsese is known for his film noirs, thrillers, and period dramas.He is one of the most active film directors of the last decades and stands out for his charged and personal style.He won an Oscar for The Departed, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, one of his favorite actors along with Robert De Niro.The Last Temptation of Christ created a great stir by proposing an alternative history to that of Jesus Christ.He has also tried historical drama in The Age of Innocence, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder.Robert De Niro has acted in more than 70 films and has directed one (A Bronx Tale) and has won two Oscars (one for The Godfather II, for Supporting Actor; and another for Leading Actor for Raging Bull).Jodie Foster is an American actress who has twice won an Oscar (for The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs).Harvey Keitel is an American actor known for his roles in Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976);Thelma and Louise (1991);or Pulp Fiction (1994), Tarantiono's brilliant film.A powerful film, and an impressive showcase for Robert De Niro's versatility.Plot: Travis Bickle is a taxi driver who becomes obsessed with a New York full of crime and dirty.Secretly, he dreams of being the one to clean her up from the dirt of the New York night.Publication Date: May 17, 2022Cast: Robert De Niro, Cybill Shepherd, Jodie Foster, Albert Brooks, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris, Martin Scorsese, Joe SpinellOne of the most impressive films of an impressive time in which the cinema was in the process of change.This film was one of the helped that evolution.Martin Cid Magazine is an international publication on cinema, books, art and culture.© 2021MCM All Rights Reserved
