Taxi Driver (1976)
The film's protagonist, Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver), played by Robert De Niro, is an unemployed Vietnam War veteran who suffers from social isolation and mental disorders. He works as a taxi driver in New York City and oversees the shattered morality and immoral behavior of the city's residents.Gradually, Travis begins to feel himself out of the system, alien and not understanding the world in which he lives. His loneliness and alienation are increasingly deepened, and he begins to take drastic measures to change his life and the world around him.
The film follows Travis's path, his gradual spiral dive into madness and bigotry. He begins to prepare himself to commit an act of violence in order to show his protest against the existing society and the order of things. His appeal to violence and extremism is a critical reflection of the dark aspects of American culture and society.
