We've had a lot of sad movies lately, it seems. I enjoyed Taxi Driver - especially seeing De Niro's performance at such a young age and, of course, the phenomenal acting of the 12-year old Jodi Foster. The point that the movie tried to communicate about De Niro's purposeless existence - and the loneliness of his life was sort of interesting, but I wish his character had developed a bit more, instead of just becoming bitter over the loss of a woman. The sheer gore of the ending scenes was a bit too much to handle - I can understand why they had to make the colors more muted - in full color it would have been even harder to watch. I'm glad I saw it, but wouldn't watch it again.
