Just finished watching Taxi Driver for the first time and it is by far one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life. In fact I'd go as far as to say Netflix Originals are better. Now before I get swarmed by retards I'm 33, I'm not some zoomer dipshit. I've seen my fair share of films and this was absolute garbage. Nothing of the movie stood out to offer any semblance of a grasp on reality or nuanced notions to imply any perceivable reasoning. It was all just bland, pointless, boring as all hell uselessness that somehow spiraled out of control for no apparent reason. I won't spoil anything about it because even though it's garbage that's just not my style, but the writers should be shot dead. In fact, all the people in charge behind this thing should of been shot dead. The cinematographer is the biggest cocksucker on the planet. His entire attempt at a deep-sighted moody aura sort of feel failed miserably and the entire film became one long cringe compilation. The choice in music was god awful, the pace was autistic. It's like waking up in a dull, grey'd out nightmare where if asked if anything seemed relateable you'd scowel and reply it is but it isn't with an absolute sense of dread in your gut. There are no humans to speak of in this. If this were a roleplaying game each character bio would consist of 6 words, max. It's such an insult to imagination, even a child asked to do improv could of out-wit the writers. This movie is essentially Drive if Drive was absolute dog shit. The only positive thing I can think of in relation to this mistake was that it was a start for Jodie Foster, but then I think about all the kikes who must of raped her as a child and I question even that. All these years I did without this movie and I wish I had gone through my entire life never watching it. Fuck you Jewgle for recommending it to me under the search "greatest movies." I'll just go with my gut from now on. if I feel a movie is shit, it most likely is.

You went into a movie with the intention of disliking it and only really cared to watch it to find evidence for your prejudices. As a result, you didn't open yourself to any feeling but distaste when watching the film. Your critique is empty, rife with buzzwords, and needlessly lengthy.
There's nothing to discuss here. Your words are not insightful, nor are you an intellect worthy of engaging with. But I'm a generous user, so here's your (You).
Watch the superior movie instead.
No he's right, you're a kike
>everyone that disagrees with me is the Jew
Quit beating around the bush. Are you or aren't you a joo?
Does it really matter if I tell you no? Strawmanning is the underpinning of your argument, you'll assert as much regardless of how many times I state that isn't the case. Even if I was the Semitic caricature you have in mind, the point would be equally as valid.
I never had any opinion on the movie. In fact I didn't even know what it was about. All I knew was Robert De Niro was in it. I'm not sure where you got the impression that I went into it thinking of it negatively. Where did you even draw that from? I didn't fully realize my disgust for the movie until after it was over. There were many moments of utter disappointment but I did not want to formulate a finalized opinion before it all played it, once it did I wanted 2 hours of my life back, and more importantly a device that could erase having ever watched this garbage from my mind. My critique is complete, full of meaning. It's as long as it needed to be as the intention was to really drive home the whole grotesque mistake bit. No point in ridiculing something unless you go into detail as to why.
>No! You are wrong! You're just a big dummy! Stop hurting me!
( SPOILERS !!!!! )
Well this got awkward, fast. It's almost like how the lead (and only character) in the movie went from ayy new life goals to "i thnk i ned to kil bcuz.. bcuz... bcuz.. grl dn lyke pr0n movy thtz polly btr thn movey we r makn" Murders 3 people, no jail time, hailed as hero.I heard you killed some people ;) Ya it was nothin :^) the ride was free. *smirks* - Taxi Driver
( SPOILERS !!!!! )
Queen Latifa is an ugly nigger whore and everything about her disgusts me.
Taxi Driver is good and I identified with Travis in the scene where he's trying to talk to the other can driver about feeling terrible and having bad thoughts and just rambles incoherently and the cabbie just rambles back not understanding
Well played user. Only one of god's chosen people could deliver an argument so eloquent. But I do believe that Drive is much better that Taxi Driver. I don't really like smelly jooish movies, with their tendency to not so subtly hit you over the head with the same tired old motifs and metaphors.
>I'm not sure where you got the impression that I went into it thinking of it negatively.
Your OP image and reference to kikes paints a pretty clear picture of where your biases against the film may lie.
>My critique is complete, full of meaning.
It isn't. You aren't speaking in your own words, just a string of phrases and buzzwords from the local culture of this board. You might have legitimate grievances with the film, but you spent the whole post trying to come up with clever insults instead of offering any constructed or rational assessment.
>Discuss: Movies normies consider "robot-teir" and why they should die with cancer for recommending such garbage to us.
This is the summary of everything you have said and felt. The movie is just a means to getting to this circlejerk.
>Well played user. Only one of god's chosen people could deliver an argument so eloquent.
I find it really sad that you think a structured argument is a capability exclusive to Jews.
But he did understand. He did genuinely try to talk with him about it but when Travis didn't realize that he basically said "you'll be fine" as a way to ease out of the stressful situation politely and with genuine compassion. Travis was the one not understanding that he was amongst a friend. Or more likely Travis was such a broken attempt at a character that the writers couldn't even think of coherent lines. Yes it's hard to tell people you have some really "dark" thoughts, or even describe what has got you there.. A lot of things can push people to those sort of thoughts, but it does not make you a lobotomized moron in the process. Holding your tongue is one thing. Having trouble finding the words, fine, but having an out of body experience as your mind literally shuts off causing you to go into a cognitive self-induced paralysis just really isn't representative of being troubled. Yet all the characters seemed to suffer from that, and by characters I mean Travis, his cab, and his apartment. Travis was acting like a 6 year old in a 26 year old man's body. It was all impulse with no direction or recognition. Nothing flowed because there was a dam in place created by everyone who had a hand in making this miserable mistake. It could of been great, but it takes great minds to create great works. Kikes just don't cut it.
I was joking. But it's not like you can expect a kike to understand humor, they take everything so seriously except for when they swindle the goyim out of all of their shekels.
So, can you do it? Can you make a coherent argument about the film, or about OP's post, without invoking der ewige jude? I'd like to see at least a modest effort.
The image was taken from the very last second of the credits. I did not watch the movie from end to start. If my critique was as pointless and without meaning as you state it to be you'd hail it to be one of the greatest films ever made, as that essentially is what Taxi Driver, is. Pointless and without meaning. However since it's the exact opposite of that you can't stand the sight of it. I am in fact speaking with my own words. This board hasn't influenced my life or vocabulary beyond key clever memes, but this is entirely irrelevant. If you fail to grasp the meaning in my words then you've selectively blinded yourself due to your own bias, which ironically you painted as something I did against the film. Take your time, read it over again. I don't go into incredibly specific detail as in to point out certain scenes and what was wrong about them, as that would take me years. I give an overall image based on opinion and experience. If you enjoy mediocrity, so be it. But to be hailed as one of the greatest movies ever made is an absolute joke. It's one of the WORST movies ever made. As for the topic of discussion, This is Jow Forums, you need a topic of discussion. You can't just write a blog post and fuck off. Though if more atrocious well known films come to light and help people like me, with good taste, avoid them.. Then so be it. All the better.
>I find it really sad that you think a structured argument is a capability exclusive to Jews.
Why are you replying to me with this?
Like I said in , my criticism of the film, like most films with joos involved in the production or direction, boils down to my perception of them as very basic and shallow. All the kike films about the holocaust seem to blend together, they're all "nazi bad" this and "endurance through adversity" that. That or they try to be morally relativistic, but it's as if a toddler wrote them. Travis's actions in Taxi Driver make little to no sense, and you can say that it's because of his descent into madness, but I don't think we're given a deep enough look into his mind, so it really just comes off a randomness trying to appear profound, to me at least. Meanwhile the driver in Drive has understandable motivations and a tragic character arc that the audience can empathize with. In addition to that, the fable of the scorpion and the frog is deftly woven into the narrative, so subtly that many believe that the driver is the scorpion who succumbs to his true nature before long, but upon further analysis realize that he is just the frog trying to do what he has to to cross the river with the scorpion quite literally on his back.
Cube is an excellent movie, and Cube 2. I was going to link the trailers from Youtube, but they're both shit trailers with annoying voiceovers. Just trust me and watch the 2 films.
For whatever reason, and I can't quite put my finger on as to why, but your post seems like a troll post. It's also incredibly random, but yeah I've seen Cube. Rented it back when it first hit video store shelves. I remember enjoying it. Not the kind of movie that stands out but it was fun to watch. Not sure if I ever saw the second though. Can I ask why you randomly recommended it?
Okay you didn't understand the climax events. I didn't either. But I looked it up instead of assuming they were random and lazily explained by madness.
I think your ego is too big to enjoy these slow character exploration movies. That's fine.
I agree with your post, Taxi Driver is an incredibly overrated film, and I felt like recommending you a decent film. You really don't need to be this cynical. I'm not trolling, and I don't think it was incredibly random to recommend a film in a topic like this either. Though I actually have been gettiing reactions like this to my posts more and more in recent years of Jow Forums posting, maybe I'm just too old to post here any more.
I also watched it very recently for the first time and it wasn't nearly as violent as I had been led to believe by others.
damn nigga i aint gonna read all that shit
>I think Taxi Driver is a shit movie
youre shit
your movie opinion is shit
your writing style is shit.
your thread is also shit.
No, I was actually trying to be earnest in that post. I did not interpret the symbolism of the ending of Drive properly the first time I watched it either, yet I still see it as an amazing way to tell a seemingly simple yet intricate tale. I don't think too highly of my own intelligence and I really hate it when people try be pretentious and appear smart just for the sake of fake approval. In fact, that's exactly what I think the director and screenwriter of Taxi Driver were trying to do; I would peg them as the ones with the inflated egos. I will never approve of randomness passed off as profound insight. If you can explain how the ending of Taxi Driver is not actually "lulz so random" then I would appreciate it.
>Netflix Originals
have you seen Polar (2019)? I was told by my friend with great movie taste that it was a really good movie, so I hyped up my other friend to watch it. We had to turn it off after roughly 30 minutes because it was impossible to focus on what the fuck was going on, it left me extremely confused and to this day I still have no idea why everyone kept killing everyone else
BASED BASED OPPPPP
Not him and I know you already got a reply but I just had to respond to this.
The only thing slow in relation to the movie were the writers. There was absolutely no character exploration. No history to work from, no getting to know anyone. There are simply nametags floating around with no semblance of humanity tied to them. Then senseless events explode randomly and the entire thing just ends without any reasoning. Picture falling backwards off your chair and right as you're about to hit the ground you appear standing in your kitchen drinking coffee. You choke up your last gulp as it happened completely involuntarily and as you spit it into your sink you find yourself in the shower with ice-cold water raining down on you. You panic not knowing what to make of what is going on, but before you know it you're back in your computer chair left bewildered and none the wiser. That's essentially what the movie is, pointlessly random. People will try to attest their own meanings to it as to apply some form of undeserved praise to the pile of shit that they so dearly admire, but it will always ultimately be a pile of shit.
I think it's my own apprehension in general rather than any fault of your own. It's been ages since I've seen the movie and oddly enough you're the 2nd person today to bring it up. Thanks for the suggestion.
>nigga
Lynch yourself.
I haven't, but going into anything Netflix related is usually a terrible mistake. Though if there's one series I absolutely recommend it would have to be Altered Carbon. It's not the greatest thing ever made but if you're into scifi cyber punk themed action then you'll find something to love about it. Season 2 is coming out later this year.
> i hated a cult classic
That's to be expected. Humans have particular tastes when not NPCs, but with a cult classic odds are you'll hate most of them even if not an NPC, unless you're completely insane.
>ermagosh legend is great oh and taxi driver and pulp fiction ahaha ehehe hshhfheheehoeeheohreoeh woop woop
You're only going to like a couple out of the bunch depending on your abnormalfag taste. Even things like pulp fiction normalfaggots end up liking but Taxi Driver is a more so unlikeable one. Legend you have to be like over 30 to like.
It all depends. You're not a schizoid loner, congratulations I guess.
>ever even watching kikeflix shows
You don't even deserve my post.
>oddly enough you're the 2nd person today to bring it up
This kinda shit always happens, makes me feel like we're living in some sort of grand simulation
shit yourself you snigger
The events are his whiteknighting. Simple as that.
It's a total non sequitur based on the previous events in the movie. I've heard that it might be a dream sequence, but that's honestly pretty cliche and trite. If it's somehow real life then the movie doesn't really give us enough information about how things ended up that way, and not in a good way. I'm extra salty about this because it reminds me a lot of the "random plotline" trend we've been seeing in recent media lately.
Dude this is your personal interpretation of the scene. Most people dont see it this way.
The screenwriter based taxi driver ofd his own experiences homeless living in a car and porn cinemas being depressed after i think a break up. Its not random and the violence and anger ia foreshadowed throughout the whole film. Was a tipping point.
That's a good point; I didn't know that about the screenwriter. I don't really have that much of a problem with the buildup and violent outburst at the climax as I do with what happened afterwards. The gun to head gesture that Travis did as the police came in made it seem like he was putting on a show for them, like he still cared a lot what others thought about him even after everything that had happened. And like I said in , I don't think that the ending followed from the earlier events of the movie and tied it up well enough.
There's nothing to discuss here. Most people, especially here, enjoy taxi driver. You don't and that's fine. However, you're a cunt and obviously refuse to budge at all on your opinion and clearly have a vastly different interpretation of scenes in the movie from the majority of people so all this thread will accomplish is shitflinging. See right away at the start you declared that everyone who disagrees with you should die. Who's gonna want to talk about anything now?
