Review of Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver (1976)
8/10
Scary film, dark, when isolation and modernity become too much
14 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
We see a man majorly disconnected from reality, isolated, Travis Bickle can't sleep and seeks little aid to stabilize his demeanor, further contributing to his mental downfall.

He turns into a bit of a maniac getting an absurd amount of guns and putting together a contraption to carry an impulse assassination after Betsy ignores his calls over him being an outright weirdo. Goes full mohawk ready to die for his master plan but fails right out of the gate.

The silver lining is that he turns after that to murder a bunch of mobsters and save Iris from Sport. His demeanor in the room with Iris and then at the diner showed someone much more grounded, quite different from what we'd seen, this dude's got some real conflicting morals going on, much of a loose cannon, a wildcard. War had to do a real number to leave him this way.
