Taxi Driver
There is a lot of Cybil Sheperd in this film. Which I found disappointing She seems to have been forgotten in the legend this film has made. I suppose everyone is overshadowed by Jodie Foster, and Robert De Niro.
I have seen Travis talking into the mirror for decades. Do you remember The Fan- De Niro and Snipes?
I could not really engage with Taxi Driver. I do wonder if the film's the legend is dying with the boomers
I started with high hopes Travis being a Vietnam veteran should be red meat for me. This just felt sleezy. Which is supposed too, Cybil's all American girl being taken to a Pnro cinema
I did wonder about the class dynamics. Would Cybil's character really have dated a taxi driver?
I am back in New York city again.. I don't like it. Unlike the French Connection this does feel coarse, or squalid. Maybe the rot has settled in
I will say this film is fine. I am glad I have ticked the box.
