brilliant film...the portrait of a
lonely disenfranchised member of society who has been cast aside because of his
failure to conform to the ideals that have swept over his community...Robert Deniro stars as Travis Bickle, a Vietnam Veteran suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, the movie delves into his psyche which becomes more and more fatigued with each passing day, encountering the lowest rung of society. The movie climaxes in a crescendo of
blood and violence in which Trais brings about a proverbial "rain" in which to cleanse the city of the
scum who have ruined it. This movie has been blamed for many violent acts that have been committed in America, in the same way that now-a-days
people probably would blame
Travis for blowing away a bunch of scumbags including a pimp and a john, but infact, just as
Travis ultimately earned commendation, so should this film, it can not be believed that this movie was ever the inspiration for any incouragable acts, but rather the warning light that such things will go on if we as a society continue to allow the scum of the earth to reign supreme and shit on all that does not conform to it'
s slimy ways...
