    Taxi Driver

    ★★★½

    it's extraordinary how different taxi driver is from all other scorsese movies. even its closest companion, mean streets, stands a lot closer to his other works than it does to this.

    all technical aspects of this, i.e. the "how", are astonishing: decisive, sharp, meaningful. the feel it evokes is palpable when it shows you the city as bickle sees it. the "city as a character" thing doesn't quite apply here for the city is not independent - it's a reflection…

    ★★★★

    espectacular, la mejor de spielberg detrás de jaws. le sobra americanismo y la boludez de la banderita pero compensa teniendo muchísimo menos melodrama que casi todo el resto de su filmografía, salvo por la escena final que está de más. escenas y secuencias enteras que te dejan pelotudo. a esta altura ya obvia pero la de la pistola vs. el tanque. y bueno como siempre este chabón con una cámara es infalible. qué director nos perdimos por apostarle siempre a la lágrima barata

    you (dumb, philistine): this is an allegory for systematic, violent oppression in poland following the second world war

    me (smart, well versed in the complex language of arthouse cinema): polish women are pretty as fuck
