Advantages: Incredible direction, performances and writing. Disadvantages: None.
A loose remake of John Ford's The Searchers, Martin Scorsese's TaxiDriver tells the tale of Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro in an iconic, legendary, career-defining performance), a Vietnam veteran serving as a night-shift cabbie on the streets of New York City. An unhinged, socially inept loner, Travis, having been rejected by the woman he has fallen in love - or lust - with, attempts first to assassinate the presidential candidate for whom said woman was working, and then to rescue from a life of prostitution a 13 year old girl by the name of Iris.
Alongside the likes of Abel Ferrara's Driller Killer, Walter Hill's The Warriors and Scorsese's own Mean Streets, TaxiDriver helped to cement in the public imagination the image of New York as a dangerous, sin-sodden, nocturnal netherworld populated primarily by pimps, hustlers, hookers ...
Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money Disadvantages: none to report yet
I got this for my partner because, quite frankly, I was sick of him stealing the scissors and my razors at home!
This clipper is a good product and I would always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before.
The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold.
Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to make a massive differents than a pair of scissors giving the cut a nice and even appearance.
The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer!
The results look very ...
Advantages: Scorsese, De Niro, Hermann, Schrader, Chapman Disadvantages: None.
Martin Scorsese's TAXIDRIVER was released in 1976 and for me, like millions of film buffs, is the greatest film ever made, elevated above every character study since through its fevered, paranoid, stark and unforgettable imagery of one man's vision of hell on earth, an entirely plausible New York.
Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle is a "cabbie" by night, insomniac by day. With long drawn-out nights looking through his windshield at New York's famous steaming sewers, rain-slicked filthy streets and glaring neon lights, and only his deteriorating thoughts for companionship, an alienated Travis learns to detest his surrounding world and those who decay it, working through his boiling contempt as he takes the truly detestable people of his city ("whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies") to their destinations. When ...
