Live Poll: 'Taxi Driver' (1976): 50th Anniversary

FYC:

The innovations: very few films take as many risks and the relatively unknown Scorsese  was about to become very influential 

The character study, which was prioritized above plot (with a photo of Bickle)

The script by Paul Schrader

The mood created by Scorcese that permeates every scene

Do you think that Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver (1976) is a hero or a villain?

.

Should the question really be: What aspect of this iconic film shocked you the most?

I wouldn't say we are shocked by actors' performances.

Please make the following edits:

The dirty, filth, dangerous, and dark streets: "Filth" is a noun but you need an adjective like "filthy," however I suggest omitting it as it's redundant since you have "dirty" right before it. 

The controversy: The graphic violence, child prostitution, depictions of misogyny...

Thanks.
