Taxi Driver the Movie

hey guys shockingly ive never seen Taxi Driver so i finally rented via NetFlix and even more shockingly i didnt see how it was all that great?

I mean Deniro is the MAN period, but i dont even think his acting was even all that great in this movie, Raging Bull yes, God Father II yes, etc etc.

I was just waiting for this amazing moving performance of this once normal man who just flips out and becomes psycho but i never ended up seeing it?

i mean what he does in the end is obviously not the norm, and takes big balls, but i thought it was humane and he basically took out the shady bad guys/scum of the world.

i mean most people are lonely and fed up with society, shaving a mohawk especially today is like the norm in fashion LOL.

blowing people away yea yea illegal blah blah but he blew away a dude robbing a store, and a pimp, mafia guy all people that society can deal without.

i dont know.

i just thought scorcese and deniro are def way better than this.

harvey kietal used to be ripped back then, damn did u see his guns?

he made deniro look like a 12yr old girl

Very violent movie. A young Jodie Foster is in that movie.

"you talking to me?"

Very depressing movie. Excellent, but depressing.

really depressing? i mean if anything i think he lives his life to the fullest. he has the balls to do what most obviously dont. and he even gets the chick who dissing him(cybil sheperd) to be on his dick at the end and just like rides off like yeah i know im the MAN!

He dies at the end. The scene of him picking her up is a hallucination. He was a 26 year old virgin.

OUCH 26yr old virgin LOL that is depressing, but i mean he did have he balls to step to her and ask her out on 2 dates he just fucked up the 2nd date by taking her to a F'n porno movie LOL

call me crazy....I think Deniro was better in this Classic than In Raging Bull :o.His Character actually starts out OK,MArtin Scorcese never plays into "Travis Bickle" and His returning from Vietnam as A contributing factor to his Paranoia /Psychosis.This is an all time Classic and VERY dark.So Raw and Dreary but well acted by all involved.He was so apparently a crazy but was able to "keep it together" in big spots ecspecially picking up Cybil Sheppard .....until the "date" at the movies,Thats when you go WTF dude??Love it when hes driving around in the rain rehersing his mantra.." look you scum,you low lifes..no more will we put up with it..etc.etc"He was clearly on the edge and the climax ending was just crazy

Yeah, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull IMO are definately his two greatest performances.

bobby D in raging bull as lamotta was > then bobby d as travis in Taxi IMO

oh yeah almost forgot: MELTED CHEESE on apple pie?

feedback anyone?

I liked him in Cape Fear he was a real psycho in that one.

I saw it for the first time last year & to be honest I was not that impressed De nero was much better in raging bull there was only any action in the last ten mins

The first time you see him in the movie doing some exercise with all those tattoos, he looked mean!
