And yes, the nail is for cokesniffing.<br />I love this film, I wasnt to old when I bought it at my local videostore (cos we had those back then), and it totally blew me away with its viceral city-"horror" and the preformances. It was also the beginning of my unhealthy relationship with Jodie Foster and my obsession with teaming up Iris and Matilda from Luc Besson's Leon.Henninghttp://www.detmagiskekongeriket.blogg.nonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-29149297619835036502011-03-07T13:46:20.538+01:002011-03-07T13:46:20.538+01:00Nick:

I saw this one in the theater when it came out. I can tell you, the audience in attendance felt the film and seemed beaten and pale upon leaving the theater, blinking and quiet. In short, I think this is one of the greatest films in the Scorsese catalog, bested by only Raging Bull. <br /><br />Great review, Lolita, as always.

Then Scorsese is not one of my favorite directors, but I adore his personality and his love of films. Can you believe that it is his money that we have to thank for the masterful restoration of The Red Shoes? And Night of the Hunter, too. He's a real cinephile, that man.<br /><br />Marcy:<br />Ha ha ha! But it's true - would I have liked Taxi Driver if it hadn't been a hot De Niro playing Travis, I wonder? ;)<br />We briefly touched the narrator subject the other day too, and on the subject "unreliable" we watched the first scene of <b>Sunset Blvd (1950)</b>, where the narrator goes from a third person perspective to talking about himself - just like that. What a way to start a film - breaking the most basic narration laws!<br /><br />Jennythenipper:<br />Haha! I really thought one had babysitters to <i>avoid</i> children watching films like these! Poor Jenny! On the other hand, my mother brought my about ten year old cousins to watch Silence of the Lambs when it came, so I don't know... ;)<br />As I said to Bill before, Scorsese is more my kind of man than my kind of director. I saw a couple of scenes from his documentary <b>My Voyage to Italy</b> in film class, and he is such a lovely person.

I wasn't that much younger than Jodi Foster. <br /><br />I've never been a huge Scorcese fan. His movies are stylish and always well-acted but they are usually just violent for my taste.<br /><br />But yeah, Deniro was fit in this movie.Jennythenipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570881559181199994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-10334629065672231322010-02-12T20:37:51.763+01:002010-02-12T20:37:51.763+01:00I just saw a still of this online yesterday and I ...I just saw a still of this online yesterday and I wondered to myself, "Why did I like <i>Taxi Driver</i>, anyway?" Could it have been that it reminded me of one of my favorite books, <i>The Catcher in the Rye</i> or because, deep down, I did kind of relate to Travis Bickle's isolation and loneliness?<br /><br />Then I realized it was because I thought Robert De Niro was ridiculously hot in this movie.<br /><br />Great review, though. There are so many ways to interpret this film. We talk about unreliable narrators in English classes all the time and I just feel like the entire "world through Travis' eyes" in this film is all unreliable. It's all up to interpretation.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-39116154566437264412010-02-12T00:28:02.731+01:002010-02-12T00:28:02.731+01:00I like most everything Scorsese has done - but I r...I like most everything Scorsese has done - but I really dislike Taxi Driver. Maybe because it was made at the ugly end of the 1960's experience (which stayed on into the early 70s.) TD is almost apocalyptic fore-telling concerning the darkness that was descending on society. Instead of music and flowers, it was dirt and blood.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
