The blonde girl worked for the Senate campaign, and Tevez put on a suit and tie to have the context of a conversation with her. The two were attracted to each other. He gave her Kris Kristofferson's 1971 The Silver Tongued Devil and I", Tevez himself had never heard of it, but Bessie already had one. Tevez takes Bessie to see Sometime Sweet Susan, who probably doesn't know anything about other serious movies. Bessie left the table angrily after seeing it for a while. Tevez was unable to plead for mercy on the phone, and the camera quietly avoided this appalling scene.
Tevez's only channel of perception of existence was closed. He sought the wisdom of life from the wizard, trying to figure out where his problem was. The wizard gave a vague conclusion, you will be fine, sooner or later.
Like every hot-blooded young man, he is heroic, rebellious, and has a one-sided but sincere understanding of the world. He looked into the mirror and said to himself, "Are you talking to me, are you talking to me!?" He tried his best to All he could try to find the meaning of his existence, he tried to become a bodyguard around the MP, but the promised registration materials never came, he was just as jealous and angry as any normal person, sports said he was a hippie, he replied: "What? ? Hippie, I'm not a hippie.
When many possibilities of existence were shattered, Tevez wrote in a letter to his parents that he had not kept his promise to give his parents his address. He worked for the government and had Stable income and befriend a lovely girl.
Then he's loaded with guns, morphed into Mohican, and turned into a true hippie trying to complete the final existential battle with the act of assassination. The defeat in the main battlefield made him fall back and choose to attack the pimps. If you pay attention to the details, Tevez didn't intend to kill, he just wanted to rescue Alice. His 44-point revolver was flawless and could kill an elephant, while Tevez's first shot was 44 The bullet hit the gangster's hand, which may have been a deliberate clue. Ironically, when he decided to pull the trigger on himself, he ran out of bullets, and the blood sacrifice-like ritual eventually fell into the dust and appeared in the newspapers. Is Sports a scumbag? He was just standing on the opposite side of universal values. He danced with Alice in his arms under the indiscriminate jazz music, and said touching words of love softly, without the slightest rudeness. By contrast, Tevez is the villain.
At the end of the film, Bessie gets into Tevez's car, and Tevez looks much better than before, and his red, swollen eyes from chronic insomnia are gone. The undercurrent of words disappeared, and Tevez said goodbye to her indifferently at the corner of the street.
The existence of Tevez is the existence of distance, the distance between the killer and the wizard, the distance between Tevez and Bessie, the distance between Bessie and Alice, and the distance between sports and universal value. When zooming in, Tevez's understanding of existence has changed. It is also possible that he has never understood the meaning of himself in the world, so he naturally exists as a taxi driver.
Everyone will have a different distance from the imaginary world and the imaginary self, and this does not hinder the existence itself, as the wizard said, you will be fine.

Bernard Herrmann's score for Taxi Driver is a swan song, in He passed away after completing the soundtrack work for the film.
The film's depiction of urban night scenes and the combination of the original sound have become an academic case of film.
The film repeatedly emphasizes that money has no special value and meaning for Tevez. Tevez's choice to buy things for Bessie and a better life for Alice is a testament to Tevez's pursuit of his own value.
Martin Scorsese almost went bankrupt trying to make the movie, and nobody wanted him until he broke the script.
Perhaps, the movie is not as complicated as later generations think. A stunned young man has a simple way of life, and it is inevitable that ethics will hit a wall, not an inevitable result. Just like the young man who later assassinated Reagan, he also tried to show his existence in extreme ways. This kind of thing happens all the time, and Taxi Driver is just one of them.
