# 52 Taxi Driver

This movies really perplexed me because it didn't have straightforward answers to it. Was Travis Bickle really a hero or was he just fucked in the head? How different would the movie have ended if he had succeeded in what appeared to be an assassination attempt? If this movie doesn't show what PTSD can do to someone....wow. Insomnia, narcissism, murder. And Jodie Foster's portrayal of a pre-pubescent prostitute was incredible. Cybil Shepard didn't really impress me, but maybe because I still thought of her as the ho from The Last Picture Show. Still it was a very good movie, really showcasing De Niro in his younger days as an incredible actor.
