Isn't it sort of auto-aggressive that Travis despises the "scum" on the streets so badly, although he hasn't got much to juxtapose?

Just watched this a second time and I was completely unconscious of how much of this movie is taken up by essentially nothing. I mean that as a high, high compliment-the film is so gripping that you don't even notice all the empty space.

A lot of it's about men who "mislead" women, according to a hero. It's very good.

There is something in this film that I identify with in the darkest parts of my soul. There is a hopelessness, a longing, a need, that is never given a name, yet I know so well. I see this as a cautionary tale, yes it is okay to have these feelings, everyone has them, but don't deal with it the way Travis does. He is still broken, the sadness is still there, he doesn't change but you must.

This movie was good. I would suggest reading the directors summary of what he envisioned the movie to be.

By far my favourite film of Scorcese's. Crucial to its excellence to me is Bernard Hermann's score; I always think Scorcese is best when he is kept away from over-indulging himself in the musical side of his films.

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?" - Travis BADASS!! Jodie Foster epic cuteness

Pertinacious, though I prefer The Departed (ahhh, I'll be headhunted by Travis now...).

"Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the SHIT! Here is a man who stood up!!!". Travis Bickle \o/

The ends don't justify the means. Travis Bickle is a sociopath through and through. This is probably the best movie about violence of all time.

Mostly aimless and stultifying, but saved for me by three points. The first is the naturally awkward dialogue, and the other two both have to with music. As Bernard Herrmann's last score, it's a must listen. And the scene where Travis Bickle sits alone and watches an American Bandstand-like show that's inexplicably playing Jackson Browne's "Late For The Sky" was some of the best pop-scoring I've seen.
