Taxi Driver : Terrible Movie

Hear me out. The script was really poorly written and the filming was mediocre. Some things you can't even argue about. The whole thing had a low budget B-movie feel to it. Yes, there were a few things it had going for it: the actors did a great job with a poor script, the music by Bernhard Herrmann was great. And actually the music adds drama to scenes where none exists otherwise. But a guy driving around cursing, spewing racial epithets, and killing pimps does not a good movie make. And the dialogue and scenario are so sick and depraved it's hard to even watch. And the ending made no sense. They actually destroyed a whole floor of a building in order to place a camera above the ceiling…why?!
So much more is read into the film by various film critics than it deserves.
Change my mind!

Oh was that what that movie was about? How come I don't remember any of that at all? I just remember dude going psycho and killing all those pimps for pimping out that teen. And him practicing it all in front of a mirror.

The staff of "Taxi Driver" included skilled screenwriters and an experienced professional film crew. You realize that was the effect they intended, right?

But a guy driving around cursing, spewing racial epithets, and killing pimps does not a good movie make. And the dialogue and scenario are so sick and depraved it's hard to even watch. And the ending made no sense.

The reasons you cited are what made "Taxi Driver" a landmark epic film.

It's cinéma vérité, stream of consciousness. The director purposely gave it that gritty feel. The directing is genius. And the intent was to make you feel "sick and depraved".

Why is it that most people who talk about movies on here have no ****ing clue what they’re talking about?

I hope all of you people get shot in the pussy.



That’s a Taxi Driver reference. Martin Scorsese plays a guy who wants to shoot his wife in her pussy because she’s cheating on him with a black guy. There’s your context.

who wants to shoot his wife in her pussy because

Yikes

I actually haven't seen the Movie but I have heard a heck of a lot of good things about it.

I think it's one of Martin Scorsese's best films
