A gritty film that follows a character that seems like just another no-name in the streets of New York. I personally loved the film because it vividly shows the mental struggles of a nobody trying to be somebody. You see Travis Bickle working his way up at the start of the film, and all his progress rapidly dissipates after Betsy rejects him. His ultimate end, his death, fulfills what he's been looking for the whole time he was a taxi driver, to be someone known, to be part of a cause that only he believed in.
