I think the moral of this film is not a simple social phenomenon. First of all, it can start from his attempted assassination of the president. Why did he choose to leave instead of continuing the assassination in a heroic way (there is some bullshit here), I personally think it is for a kind of The complete abandonment of society, he believes that both criticizing and affirming society share a common goal, which is to recognize and regard society as the great Other of this ideal, and to realize it through him. The difference is that the only reason to criticize the society is because the object of his desire cannot be satisfied, and the desire to satisfy the needs has not actually escaped this category, so he turned to the destruction of these contradictory bodies that conflict with society. In fact, this destruction is Paradoxical, that is, the original violence of the last self in the state of anxiety, and this violence I think is the subjective and meaningless awakening of consciousness, and finally leads oneself to spiritual suicide and self-shooting suicide by hand. action, completed the jump.

    Martin Scorsese's first Palme d'Or, one of his most classic films, a Martin urban western. The final film in which the famous composer Bernard Herman participated in the soundtrack. First, pull out a few business cards: ① "The Strange Tenant" directed by Polanski in the same year also showed the mental confusion and collapse of the protagonist; ② "Chinatown" directed by Polanski two years ago was overwhelmed by fate An angry little person; ③ "Mean Streets" starring Lao Ma director De Niro three years ago, "Taxi Driver" is a continuation of its realistic connotation. ④ "Easy Rider", the originator of the road film 7 years ago, completely provided the creative direction for Lao Ma's film. And the previous works of Lao Ma up to this one happened to be the so-called "New Hollywood Film Movement", which shows that the movement style is particularly obvious. The time point was not long after the Vietnam War, and the images were used to show the image of an almost "abandoned generation", a numb but unwilling to degenerate anti-social personality. With the rain to clean the garbage on the street, he wanted to use effervescent tablets to make the streets boil. Love De Niro at the two turning points, and then lead to the final shape. The bloodbath at the end of the shootout is a classic!
