Taxi Driver

Robert De Niro is one of the shining stars of the 70's. He did a fantastic job in Taxi Driver, but this really wasn't my type of film. I don't know if it was because of the highlight of vigilanteism and many movies we've seen having the same inner conflict as De Niro(obviously not EXACTLY the same), but this is one of the few films that I've lost interest in relatively quickly.

However, I did like the use of the city as a character. In my opinion, they used the city as an protagonist(in a more broad sense). De Niro battles throughout the whole film with the different types of people who roam in NYC, as if the city was throwing these challenges out to see how he handles them.
