1. Lean towards character psychological portrayal, with more shots showing character expressions, so the actors are required to have higher acting skills, so I choose acting de Niro.
2. Linear narrative, but light causality, weakening the beginning, inheriting and turning, but all kinds of things can always find a reason to the final result. The seemingly unreasonable plot is accumulatively promoted, highlighting the absurdity.
3. Reflect on the status quo of the country and society with the living conditions of the small people at the bottom.
4. The director's personal label movie with a strong black humor style. Use big-name actors to ensure commerciality, and use the overall style of the movie to support artistry.

Details 1 : Dugu
"any time any where", insomnia, watching pornographic movies, always alone at home, always expressionless when alone, always smiling when talking to strangers. ——Expressing Travis's lonely
detail 2: Looks beautiful.
Just started chasing Bessie, and the fluent language expression is natural and natural. Let the audience think that Travis was very good at chasing women, but if he continues, he naively takes Bessie to watch pornographic movies he likes to watch. It turns out that he still doesn't know anything. The first natural performance was to try his best to disguise, just like he talked to other strangers, trying to disguise himself as a cheerful person.
In the same way, at the beginning, he "planned carefully" the assassination operation, designing quick-drawing equipment, exercising, practicing marksmanship, preparing clothing, and talking with the presidential candidate bodyguards for information. Let the audience think, yes, he was a soldier in the Vietnam Marine Corps before, so it is convenient for him to have the ability. Although the reason for the assassination is absurd, he always has a talent.
In fact, he innocently practiced the clashing expression "You Talking To Me? You Talking To Me?"
in the mirror. In fact, he shot and killed a supermarket robber and was at a loss. It turns out that there is no gun license. Finally, according to the words of the experienced supermarket owner, he ran away in a hurry.
In fact, he thought he was clever and got information with bodyguards, but he was suspected of his weird behavior. He even said the zip code was 6 digits.
In fact, he had cut a striking moxican head on the day of the action, and was still clapping his hands triumphantly in the distance, thinking of what a killer with a powerful personality he was. As a result, he was discovered by the security guard before he approached the congressman and fled. . .
Yes, he is actually a clumsy and naive person. No matter how much he pretended to be like that, in the end he will still Screw up everything.
Detail 3: Reasons for the assassination On the
surface, it seems that I don't know why Travis planned to assassinate the presidential candidate, but many things are being promoted in the dark.
He was a soldier in the Vietnam War who could use a gun, but the failure of the Vietnam War made them depressed and embarrassed.
Watching every day, all kinds of scum at night pollute New York City like garbage.
During the meal, a few black people stared at him maliciously for no reason, and then was smashed into the car by a group of black people for no reason.
When colleagues have dinner, it is best for him to buy a gun to defend himself.
Seeing Aris, the prostitute, was forced to get out of the car, he was powerless.
I chatted with Bessie’s "Boss Councillor" and found that he was not willing to change society at all, just talking empty words.
Because of a "failed date", Bessie never gave him a chance or even answered the phone. He went to the company desperately to abuse him, was kicked out by Bessie's colleagues and called the police.
I met a husband who wanted to kill a cheating woman with a heavy pistol.
His life is simple and boring, and his heart is depressed. He can't do anything, but he must find an outlet to release him, he must do one thing to prove himself, and he needs to let Bessie who dumped him know. So assassinating Bessie's boss, that hypocritical politician, is actually his best choice.
Detail 4: Life is as light as a hair to
kill the supermarket robbers, the boss is very experienced to deal with, whip the corpse "this is the fifth time this year", the supermarket is open normally, indicating that the boss can easily deal with it as a legitimate defense, this robbery The life of the bandit is the same as Mao.
The 14-year-old should have had a happy childhood, but the pimp told Taravis, “You can play with her at 25 yuan, insert her genitals, insert her chrysanthemum, insert her mouth, shoot her in the face, as long as you don’t use violence. , You can do whatever you want to her!" How cheap is her life.
In the end, Taravis killed the pimp, the landlord, and the prostitute. He thought these people deserved to die, but he thought that the society should recognize their lives, and he would be brought to justice. In the end, he became a hero. The society does not want to know the truth, but only wants to see the "bad guys" die. The people who kill the "bad guys" are heroes. Who cares about the life of the "bad guys" is as light as a hair.
Detail 5: Desperate mature
chatting with the old driver "wizard" who knows everything, but can't say anything, only a deep sense of loneliness and despair, don't know what I want to do? What can I do? Why live? "Don't worry, You will be fine" gave Travis hope, and it was also his final "mature" interpretation.
Trying to pretend to chase "Bai Fumei" Bessie, after all, a person of two worlds, in the end it is empty joy. After the "You will be fine"
massacre, he tried to commit suicide but failed. In the end he became a hero "You will be fine". Society is more absurd than itself.
At the end of the film, Travis resumed his original life, but his eyes changed completely, he was no longer at a loss and was no longer naive. The words "see through everything in the world, nothing can be changed, that's it" even if Bessie still treats him. If he re-shows his favor, he won't be tempted anymore. "You will be fine"

Personal feeling summary:
I didn't think the movie was good at first seeing "Taxi Driver", although there was such a "big event" as the assassination of the presidential candidate, there was a climax of bloody battles with brothels. But the overall feeling is really flat. If you don't adjust your mentality, you will even feel that this film will be flat except De Niro's acting skills.
Later, I used the method of variable writing and analysis to comb through my brain twice (this film review is the second time combing), and slowly discovered that this movie is actually a lyrical movie with the appearance of a feature film ----- ---------It is a lyric poem.
The theme of the poem is: loneliness and despair
