    De Niro- the genius

    by redyeah

    Few actors have the type of passion for their craft as De Niro. he actually drove aa cab for this role. One can only imagine how he prepared mentally. He is the quintessential antihero in this movie. He is getting rid of the bad guys the way the bad guys get rid of the good guys. And we love him for it. Everybody knows the mirror scene- and it is a classic! Yes Robert, I'm Talkin ta you!

    All time great - A Masterpiece

    by LV918

    It's hard for me to rank the films Scorsese made with DeNiro in this era, Mean Streets and Raging Bull are masterpieces as well. Seeing Taxi Driver on a big screen again really affected me, almost as much as it did in 76. The portrayal of psychotic loneliness is devastating. This could be my favorite DeNiro performance, though as I said, it's hard for me to rank. one warning for those who haven't seen this: Don't see it if you're in a bad place emotionally, because this is not a feel-good film, and it's hard to dissociate from the title character's mental state.
