Review of Taxi Driver. Is this the American dream?

Taxi Driver is the story of a Vietnam war vet who is intolerable, to say the least. Starring Robert DeNiro in the year of 1976 who is the taxi driver who believes everybody around him is scum, filth, and a liar. While the first hour and fifteen minutes it's pretty much just him driving in a taxi talking about his day to day life. But if you pay close attention, you'll notice that DeNiro is on a slow decline into insanity. So you will have to know what's going on and what's happening or it won't make any sense to you and you won't enjoy it. The paranoia starts to set in around the hour and a half mark after DeNiro meets an underage prostitute, Jodie Foster. He then meets the people she works for but I won't spoil anything for you. I was mesmerized by the world Martin Scorsese imagined through the eyes of this crazed man. The only music in this film was a jazz/suspense classical number stretched throughout. It works well but I felt it blended a little too much into the atmosphere. The Verdict:With an absolutely fantastic cast and crew, especially on Scorsese and DeNiro's part, an awesome story and screenplay Taxi Driver easily moves into my list for one of my favorite movies of all time. 5/5.
