Care to elaborate?

Explain why direction was shit.

Your taste is shit.

This is literally /tv/ the movie, except the main character isn't fat and has a job. Everyone here loves it.

It was good, i have to admit but i didn't like it at all, it felt like it had no story whatsoever

It's a presidential assassination self fulfilling master piece. You have to love it.

>tfw you are just like Travis irl

>it felt like it had no story whatsoever
It was supposed to be like that. Travis' life is sort of aimless and without direction.
>>
To me this is a really cool action movie. I don't get why people see it as a masterpiece and serious movie and all that, it's basically Max Payne: The Movie or something for me. Considering it's from the 70's it blew my mind that it's so much like a videogame with a deep story. And I mean deep for a videogame, not for a movie.

Kill yourself.

If you can't see why this is a masterpiece then you shouldn't be posting on /tv/
>>
>>66748663
It's a videogame movie, the only masterpiece part about it is that it came out before mainstream shooting videogames.

Hi /v/eddit
>>
>>66748710
What the fuck are you talking about? There's literally only one shootout in the entire movie and it lasts for about 3 minutes.
>>
It's like a 7/10 rated 10/10 by kids who self insert as Travis and only see Hollywood flicks. Scorcese is massively overrated.

Go back to /v/ you dumb fuck.

This movie started the GTA type of character. Without this movie there would be no video games today.

Scorsese has always been a hack who recycles his own flicks.

10/10 bait
>>
>>66745293
You're bait is shit. Why are people still falling for it?
>>
>>66748774
I don't get why you'd think that was necessarily bad. They aren't "the same" but they are two sides of the same coin, and it's very interesting watching them back to back. Both are black comedies (Taxi Driver more serious and more black than comedy, only very subtly a satire, while King of Comedy is outright funny and less serious but still slightly so). I think they're both 10/10s to be honest familia, both in my top 50.

it's amazing that it's 40 years old. It feels about as dated as American Hustle, which is to say not really at all
