A cabby with animal instincts coming out alive at nights. Suffering from insomnia he used to drive down the decaying New York City (in Mid 70's). Optimistic at heart that someday a miracle will happen and the 'scum' will be cleared. That's the movie is all about I believe.
I am writing this review after a long time so it might happen that it gets quite disconnected and short too. While starting this review I did read the previous review which is indeed very thorough and informative. Hence I will not go deeper in explaining the plot of the movie.
What I wish to express in this review is the classic connection of the central character ''Travis'' with the individual psyche and its influence on the people who watch it. Robert de Niro looks stunning as Travis. Martin Scrocesse as always done a wonderful work. After watching this film you will definitely look for his other works esp: raging bull, gangs of new york and the recent one- the aviator.
Will keep getting to you with useful recommendations.
