Popcorn Culture - Throwback: Taxi Driver

"You talkin' to me? I said, you talkin' to me?" In this Throwback, we go all the way to 1976's Taxi Driver, where those iconic lines were delivered by Robert Deniro's Travis Bickle. This also marked the second of the eventual eight movies that Martin Scorsese and Robert Deniro would collaborate on, over both their long careers, and set a number of themes that would continue to fascinate Scorsese: masculinity, crime, religious symbolism. With that in mind, we discuss how this movie has aged, and how it compares to some of the director's later works.
