- I can only say that people who like movies do not like this movie. This work, which clearly has the characteristics of a "sworn generation", is Scorsese accurately portraying the situation of Americans after the end of the Vietnam War in the most Hollywood way. It not only showed a unique artistic charm in the style of commercial films, but also won the unanimous approval of the Cannes judges who admire art films.
- ● "Taxi Driver" is one of the masterpieces of film noir. It not only represents Martin. Scorsese's personal achievement in the film industry has also become a symbol of American culture in the 1970s. The film is different from traditional Hollywood movies in content and form, showing a new aesthetic trend and mental state, exposing some dark sides of American society, and has many social meanings. ●The cold and bloody violent scenes in "Taxi Driver" and "Bonnie and Clyde" and "A Clockwork Orange" in the same period constitute a film phenomenon, impacting the old film censorship system that is about to collapse. The violent scenes of Travis's bloodbath in the brothel have caused great controversy and become a classic of violent movies in film history. ●"Taxi Driver" focuses on the creation of an environmental atmosphere, and has a strong expressionist color, that is, the characters and themes are expressed through symbolic environmental descriptions.
- "Taxi Driver" is a "Western on the Road", this film deliberately explores the possibility of polysemous narratives, and transplants the characters and plot patterns common in Westerns into the neighborhoods of New York.
- "Taxi Driver" is the most milestone work of Xixosses. The realistic meaning and profound thought contained in the film are enough to be listed as the best in the world's century-old film. Xicosese has constructed a prosperous but indifferent atmosphere in New York through gray tones, and repeated close-ups of Travis's eyes have highlighted the loneliness and sadness of the people in the city.

Wizard: Then I pick up these two fags. They're going downtown. They're wearing rhinestone T-shirts. They start arguing, yelling. The other says, "You bitch!" Starts beating him on the head. I say, "l don't care what you do in the privacy of your own home. This is an American free country. We've got a pursuit of happiness thing. You're consenting. You're adult. But in my fucking cab, don't go busting heads. You know? God loves you. Do what you want." Tell them to go to California. In California, when two fags split up, one's gotta pay the other alimony. Not bad. They're way ahead out there. You know what I mean? California. I tell them to get out of the fucking cab.
