What many people don't know is that Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" once almost changed the tide of the Cold War. John Hinckley, the young man who assassinated President Reagan, once confessed that a considerable part of his motive for assassinating the president came from "Taxi Driver". John Hinckley watched the movie 14 times and fell in love with it Actor Jodie Foster, who played the role of Iris, chose to go to such extremes in order to get Judy's attention. This is also a testament to the high quality of the film.
The script of the film spends a lot of time describing the dilapidated and chaotic New York at that time, and the alienation and sexual repression that the film strives to show seems to be in sync with any imperfect era. The greatest part of the film is that the screenwriter used a few characters to reveal Bai Zuo's scars incisively and vividly, revealing the bloody wounds in front of the audience.
The main character, Travis, is designed as a standard low-level little guy with little education. Their eyes are often not very lofty, but what they do often seems a little stupid and lacking in thought. Under the layers of defense, the hero's assassination plan for the Senate failed of course, and the hero's justice could not be implemented, so he could only take a full-armed and his own moxie to take over a lecherous nest and rescue the forced Iris, a prostitute girl. This is the most tragic comedy in the world, quite a bit like "Don Quixote". In the end, the male protagonist didn't change anything. With the propaganda of "We are the people", in fact, the senator who perfunctory to the people's livelihood will be elected president. The corrupt and incompetent society continues to operate. Travis did not win in the end. The resistance failed completely. Bai Zuo's hypocrisy is self-evident.
