Robert De Niro is very thin in the film. Although he is tired, he is a true young and handsome. I really think so. His performance in the film is introverted, and he makes ambiguous smirks when he is alone, and his face is expressionless when he is alone.
Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro have worked together to create an image of a tired man, tired from the bottom of the body.
Travis came from the war. Although he was young, he had gone through all the vicissitudes of life. He drove a bright and shabby taxi in the car river alone, whether it was a white area or a black area or something that was not visible. If it is correct, maybe he is eager for something to disrupt his boring life, even if it is bad, but nothing happened to him, so he started looking for something to do on his own.
He saw a woman, dressed in a white dress, mature and elegant appeared in front of him, symbolizing the purity that has never been polluted. He fell in love with her and even mentioned her in the hearts of his parents. He invited her to dinner. Buy her the record she mentioned, but they are not from the same world after all, so he made a noise in her office and was finally kicked out.
Later, she met another woman, which was the opposite of the first woman. She fell into the dust, and she was innocent, but she was young and rebellious and had no knowledge of the world. He didn't save her the first time they met, but drove the car away, because of this, he always remembered him.
Later, he inexplicably wanted to slaughter the president. He made all preparations meticulously, as if he had a bloody hatred with him. Every process was not neglected. When he appeared on the periphery of the crowd with a new hairstyle, he finally externalized himself. He doesn’t really care about the result of the assassination.
Travis cares about the process of doing something and the behavior itself, not the result of the event. At the same time, although he was very dirty and disappointed with the society at the time, his act of shooting the president was not against him. He was disappointed with his political achievements and wanted someone else to be the candidate for the president. If he thought this way, he would think of Travis too radically. He was tired of everything and no matter who would govern the country. So when he was unable to assassinate, he immediately gave up the matter and proceeded to his so-called plan to rescue Ellis.
He had met Ellis several times before, and he justly advised Ellis not to engage in the same. It was really good practice, but Ellis did not accept his affection, and she did not think that it is currently What's wrong with her life, she is immersed in the false tenderness of the pimp, it is hard to imagine that Ellis will have such a strong sense of justice in her body. In fact, maybe Travis just regarded Ellis' transformation plan as another thing in his life that could pass the time.
After assassinating the president, he took action.
Simply agile, borrow one by one and kill them all. I have heard a saying before, the timid are afraid of the bold, and the bold are afraid of the desperate. Measured by this standard, Travis is undoubtedly the most terrifying kind of person. He doesn't care about being hit. The reason for his avoidance is that he wants to kill everyone before being hit, so when all gunfire stops, When only Ellis screamed, Travis raised his pistol, pointed it at his chin, and squeezed the trigger several times. If there were bullets in the gun, Travis would have died long ago, but God didn’t let him do what he wanted. , There was no bullet left for him.
The police came, and Travis watched them raise their bloody left hand, squeeze the trigger at his temple, whizzed bullets in his mouth, and smiled.
Maybe the world is ridiculous and it is not worth taking seriously.
Travis has experienced cruel wars and left the battlefield with a tired body and mind. The war only brought him pain, but did not bring any honor. When he used blood and violence to defeat the emptiness and burnout of his soul, When he left all the order and moral codes behind, Destiny made a joke with him, making him a hero of the media coverage, and won praise from the people. After all this, how could travis not? It feels ridiculous.
The injury healed, he was discharged from the hospital, his hair grew out, and he started driving a taxi. All life was on the right track. Maybe after that, Travis completely looked away. If he was a little bit awkward and couldn’t live with himself before, So now he is completely indifferent to this world, desperate.
When he ran into the girl he liked here and looked at her from the rearview mirror, she was still so bright and moving. What's disappointing is that she also talked about the report like others, and travis seemed early I guessed it, saying that newspapers are always too exaggerated. Yes, after watching this movie, I couldn't help but doubt the credibility of the typefaces printed on it every day.
He politely talked to her about the president she supported, his expression was not unusual, as if he had completely forgotten that he was going to assassinate him at the time, it was indeed not unusual, because Travis didn't feel he was sorry at all. Until he sent her home, Travis never tried to ask her for dinner or go to the movies, because he knew that she, who was of high taste, was scornful of the pornographic movies he liked to watch.
She stood in front of the car door and leaned down, hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but she was missing something completely different, how much?
As soon as this sentence was uttered, the two of them completely replied to the unfamiliar, ticked off everything in the past, he smiled, said goodbye, and drove the car away. Leaving her behind, showing a slightly melancholy expression. This time, it's really goodbye.
I believe that travis will never kill anyone again, and it will be difficult to fall in love with anyone again. He is just in front of his taxi driver and has only money and interests with everyone. He is not afraid of anything. He has witnessed Death, he didn't want anything, because what he wanted didn't exist in this world.
The streets in the dark night are shining brightly with colorful lights, smearing the world with colors that it does not possess, like a cocktail, very rich, but not pure.
