"You talking to me?"
"taxi driver"
This film tells the story of a soldier who retired from the Vietnam War and returned to China.
After leaving the battlefield, he was out of touch with ordinary people's lives. After feeling the endless gap and loneliness, he found a job as a taxi driver for leisure time.
The color of the film is darker, and the scenes of slums, prostitutes standing on the streets, pornographic theaters, etc. reflect the confusion of most people in that turbulent era.
The biggest feature of the film is the beauty of the soundtrack. The contrast between the alternation of red and green light and the melody of the music fully reflects the psychological state of the characters. The audience can even experience the development of the plot and the transformation of the tone from the soundtrack.
In addition, about the movie extra:
In the plot, the male protagonist no longer has any hope for a normal life because he is rejected by the girl he likes. In the end, he even plans to assassinate the president.
The biggest tidbit of the "taxi driver" is that after watching the film, Hinckley, the rich kid, was attracted by Judy Foster, who played the prostitute, and finally pursued Judy but failed, and even wanted to assassinate Reagan. The president came to get Judy Foster's attention. This also shows the success of the film and the superb interpretation of the actors.
