Why wouldn't it be? You're the minority, you tell us.

Because it excels in almost every aspect of the craft and creates a unique tone for itself that defies genre classification.

Because it almost killed Ronald Reagan

Literally everyone under 25 who's seen it for the first time says that. Watch more movies.

You're supposed to identify with his loneliness and anger.

The writer, Scorcece, and De Niro were all coming from a personal place with this movie.

>>67117706
Its shitty and no one has a fucking clue.

>>67121026
This. Most movies don't do that.

Watch. More. Movies.

No they're from someone who's isolated and believing his own bullshit. This is supposed to be a bad thing in the movie and ruins his ability to interact with people.

>and them he solve the problems though violence.
He didn't solve anything. He was seen as a hero through pure coincidence of him failing to kill the senator.

The ending also alludes to the fact that he WILL go on another rampage and isn't magically "fixed".

>Wtf.
This and your buzzwords make me regret sincerely typing a response but whatever.

Didn't someone kill someone else to impress the qt child whore in that movie ?

>>67121769
Well thank god I don't have to go to film school to interpret simple films like Taxi Driver.

You're insecure, huh?

There`s no such a thing.

I could tell it wasn't you, anon.

what fucking country are you from
>>
>>67117706
It's just a really good performance by Deniro, coupled by interesting shot composition. Outside of Raging Bull this is probably De Niro's best.
>>
>>67122095
Women can relate to Jodi Foster, they understand what it's like to be a whore.

Well no fucking shit, faggot.

Thats the thing though, they make Travis so understood by the audience that even if you're nothing like him you get where he's coming from. The film boils down psychopathic rage to loneliness and confusion. Everyone can understand him to an extent.
