Hello mates. I would like to share a video that may be interesting to those who love cinema. I think it is a sharp and clever analysis of Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver'.

As you probably know, TD is one of the most aclaimed films of the Seventies, and one of the most intriguing to boot, to the point that its meaning is still discussed nowadays.

In my opinion, it is the main character Travis' attitude what causes it, along with its enigmatic ending. Both aspects are addressed in the analysis, but your conclusions may be different!

In adition to this, the video brings out the fact that maybe mainstream pictures have lost some depth of meaning in the last decades. Although Scorsese has built a solid reputation based on a bunch of good films, works like 'Taxi Driver' show he reached his prime a long time ago, which doesn't talk well about the Dream Factory's drift.
