"Taxi Driver": He was indeed saved by himself

"Taxi Driver" is a classic movie in my mind. There are chaos, madness, and tremendous violence, but there is also a sincere and beautiful yearning for love, and compassion for the weak.

The great Robert De Niro is really a good actor.

flow of light and shadow is my "Taxi Driver" Wonderful sight to see in. Movies are the art of light and shadow, but as far as my limited movie-watching experience is concerned, I haven't seen a scene like the one in "Taxi Driver". The lens flies at night, and the reflective streets, cars, lonely people, and colorful lights flow on the screen like a river, in a hurry and with a proper rhythm.

The music in the movie is an organic supplement to the picture. The lonely and sad saxophone (jazz music) that appears a lot in the film. I once thought that saxophone is a man's music, and it is the most suitable music to express a man. When the saxophone sounded, I would think that it was a man stroking his wounds on a lonely night. I think this is why the saxophone will always sound when Bikramis drives through New York at night alone.

The music at the climax of the film is different. It is a kind of tragic and tragic, with the noble beauty after salvation. I think this kind of music can only be found in ancient Greek tragedies. With the repeated shaking of the camera on the blood-stained staircase steps, the corpses of the servants and the walls, the music sounded slowly and solemnly. I think this is the most brilliant part of the film. Not referring to the shootout, but referring to the description of the scene after the shootout.

Ninety percent of the footage was shot at night. The very limited daytime shots are also likable. I was fascinated by the scene when Biklavis put on a clean shirt and went on a date with his girlfriend in a suit and leather shoes. Lavis walked towards the camera, and the camera was pulled back at a moderate speed, very calm and calm, with long shots, medium shots, close-ups, until Lavis had a clean shaved face and expectant eyes.

In fact, the appearance of the characters in the film is clearer except for the prostitute Alice. Needless to say, Lavis. His girlfriend's appearance is slow motion, very lyrical and elegant. But Alice's appearance is always rushed, making it impossible to see clearly. I think this is intentional by the director, and it fits well with the identity of the character.

The picture at the end of the film is a feast of impressions. Lavis drove through the night like a big fish swimming into the depths of the ocean. After a struggle, loneliness continued, but a hysterical rescue gave him peace of mind. I firmly believe that Lavis was indeed saved by himself.

Classic lines: There is only one direction in my life.
