What a shit thread. Congrats fag.

Leave this board.

>>81631976
Scorcese is an overrated hack.

>>81632006
Kinda like your mom and dad made you.

I watched this last night and it was pretty average. The fact that Ebert rates it so high makes him a fucking hack.

Cybill Shepherd was smoking hot though.

Seeing the 4K release of this in theaters last year was amazing, it really makes you feel like you're driving alongside him.

So what was his problem? I thought he was gonna go full day of the rope but he copped out after he just seemed to remember that hooer he saw in his car once

PTSD, most likely. It's kind of lingering in the background but is never really built upon that much in the film. Travis being praised by society at the end of the film is a contrast to how Vietnam vets were treated by society after the end of the war, which is probably intentional.

1. Taxi Driver
2. Goodfellas
3. Wolf of Wall Street
4. Shutter Island

haven't seen the rest LMAO

what's the worst scorsese movie

>>81632018

Tell me otherwise

>>81632437
I've been NEET for over 2 years only saying a few words a week to my mother, locking myself in my room day after day it doesn't mean I'd enjoy this film. Explain to me why it is highly praised here especially

>>81632583

the departed unironically. anyone claiming it's good merely looked at the cast and assumed it

>>81632631
hmm i have been meaning to watch it but all i know about is the cast and it's in Boston? Why do you think it's so bad?

Just an all around pile of shit. I can't remember finding anything redeeming about it.

its a meme film for "cinephiles" basic plebbit tier garbage to appear edgy.
would not appear in anybodies top 10 films. ever.

Great character study with an accurate depiction of isolation and loneliness, flawless perfomance from DeNiro, haunting score, great cinematography that manages to capture the feel and look of that dark, mysterious New York.

That kinda sums it up.

>>81632477
Ray Winstones accent was fucking terrible

I like the part where he stone cold murders a bunch of scumbags and gets celebrated for it, walks free then is super happy about life all of a sudden despite being in the same situation

It was really realistic and made me think.

>>81632875

Why do you assume he's happy?

>>81632822
Why is he wrong?

It was New York in the 1970's, which was a massive shithole by my understanding.

It's still unlikely that he would have gotten away with what he did, but not as unlikely as you might think.

Taxi driver and the big lebowski are both in my top 10
Also check em

>>81632875

I don't think he was happy though, watch the ending again, he didn't learned anything, nothing has changed, something will trigger him and make him do something crazy again.

>>81632991
perfect post, I too would like to be enlightened

Sure thing pal, it was only an example..

>>81633025
what are the other 8?

>>81631976

literally Scorcese's best movie until Silence was released

>>81632991
Alright,

I haven't seen this movie in quite a while, but I remember that the absolute last shot is of the driver, looking directly at himself through the backway mirror, and the shot feeling very tense and fearful. I was under the impression that when he looks at himself, he feels fear and disgust, and the camera quickly turns away. Basically, he can't look at himself.

Taxi Driver has the best end credits of all time prove me wrong

im not even a jazz guy

Or, he's pretty fucking stoked and happy that he's a hometown hero, the blonde woman wants a piece of his dick and he just got done chilling with his friends and you're reading too deep in to it because of le ebin scorsese

>>81633124
w-woah..
What was the significance of the crumpled 20 dollar bill he kept and paid the fat guy with?

>>81633260
A reminder of how shitty he thought everyone and everything was, he didn't use it himself because it was dirty money

>>81632870
>Taking the bait
For what purpose?

>>81633248
Not the guy you're replying to to, but the scene was intended to be ambiguous. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge any other interpretation of it just proves that you're either an idiot or a shitposter.

>>81633248
Okay, I thought you maybe wanted to discuss a movie, but you're just here to shitpost. That's fine too anon.

>>81633248
>Scorsese acknowledged several critics' interpretation of the film's ending as being Bickle's dying dream. He admits that the last scene of Bickle glancing at an unseen object implies that Bickle might fall into rage and recklessness in the future, and he is like "a ticking time bomb". Writer Paul Schrader confirms this in his commentary on the 30th-anniversary DVD, stating that Travis "is not cured by the movie's end", and that "he's not going to be a hero next time.

He's a fucking hack anyway, what does he know?

Im guessing the writer is also a hack and doesn't know shit right?

>>81633066
nice buzzword i dont think you know what it means

I agree.
Looking back it wasn't very good.

>>81633478
>eveyone besides me is an idiot

>>81633478
Why fucking show a positive ending then come out later and say it's the exact opposite? It's just tampering with the original vision for the sake of creating conversation, A.K.A what fucking hacks do

ie - What J.K Rowling does

this is Scorsese's only good movie.

Travis Bickel did nothing wrong!

>>81634842
He took a cutie to a porn theater in 70s time square for his fist date. At the very least its a faux pas.
