This film is still a thorn in the side of many. Is violence glorified here? Is the protagonist someone who stirs up hatred against minorities? Or is he simply crazy? And does the film represent the same position as its main character? In short: Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" polarizes to this day. Even worse than the worriers are of course those who would like to help Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) - the ideology behind it is: Sure, Travis has some problems, but a few experts and therapists could make them disappear. But this should also make the radical criticism, the total denial that Travis articulates and which connects him not least with the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno, disappear. Now more than ever, it is clear that we cannot simply leave this masterpiece from the New Hollywood era behind us. More on this from Wolfgang M. Schmitt in the video!
