Taxi Driver (32)


Well there certainly were a lot of familiar faces in Taxi Driver! I sometimes forget that the "older" actors I see today did get their start much earlier than I was around for. Jodi Foster blew me away, I can't believe how young she was.
This movie is another one of those that I know there is more to than meets the eye. I know there is some "point" that I'm missing.
I believe it's a top 100 just for the way that the film really makes you understand the main characters angst and loneliness. In terms of cinematography it was only ok. Again, it's hard to judge from today's movies.
I very much liked seeing Robert DeNiro in this roll. It was much different than anything I've seen him in and this roll seemed to "fit" him well.
Not a bad movie, but also not my favorite.
