"Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets."


Taxi Driver
Martin Scorsese, 1976

I first saw this a few years ago because it was the top rated movie (the only 100% at the time) on Rotten Tomatoes. Back then I thought it was a film that must have been cutting edge when it was made but didn't withstand the test of time. This time I definitely appreciated it more. So much has been written about this film I risk plagiarism by writing anything over fifteen words.

I had to watch this three times to fully appreciate it. First it kind of bored me, then it was sort of cool, and then I began to grasp its genius. Took a while, for sure.

And get out of bed and watch Run Lola Run, you lazy bum, haha. It's worth it, I swear.
