love the movie, love the song, but don't think they go together. obviously the lyrics do to some extent. but not the vibe. nothing will beat the mash-up to Once Upon a Time in the West.
Travis was not a psycho though. So,this video is ultimately failing in its intentions.The main failing,was labeling,and accusing,whilst at the same time trying to superimpose your personal beliefs to the movies meanings,via clever editing.
@MOTHIKAS Except that Martin Scorsese has actually described Bickle's postion as anti-hero & psychopath and actually gets annoyed when fans consider him to be the knight in shining armour to Jodie's character. He's the equivalent of Columbine & Virginia Tech, only when he snapped, he happened to direct that wrath on bad guys.
@Jesuit24 Absolutely right. Taxi Driver is not a film about loneliness, it's a film about a certain type of lonely charactercreated in Modern American society who feels discarded, disconnected and ultimately lashes out violently at the world around him. Taxi driver predicted the real life characters like Eric Harris. Who whilst yes the film's about loneliness and all sorts of lonely people can relate. It's still telling the story of travis bickle whose isolation led to psychopathy.
You're all coming up with awesome reasons for my effects which I wish I was clever enough to do intentionally, but no, the effect I'm talking about is much more simpler. Giselle was on the right track.
As for the effect, I guess I don't know for sure, I was gonna say either the freeze frames you used like he used in Goodfellas especially or his signature slow motion shots...(??)

Oh! Yes, that's correct. Green, amber, red as traffic lights with red as the warning sign as he 'skips the light' and keeps going.
Have the Magnum. Don't kill anybody with it. Well anybody who doesn't deserve it.

Mmm... The lines that Elle was talking about...
Go from light to red as soon as the violence starts.... in other words... as soon as Bickle's tainted mind completely takes him over...
Amirite?

Nope. Close though. That was my second aim. The clue is: it's related to traffic/taxis.
