Hey that was great. I appreciate your humane outlook, psychological understanding, sensitivity and intelligence. We need more of that these days!

[@couchcity]

Thank you

[@iamamaniaint]

​​@@couchcityAlso, I humbly suggest you look into some Stanley Kubrick films if you haven't delved in yet.
Great stuff! My favorite filmmaker and his films are genius

[@iamamaniaint]

I added a reply and it disappeared? Anyway... just recommended you check out some of Stanley Kubrick's films if you haven't yet

Many years ago I knew a blind tarot reader who was obsessed with this movie. When it played at a local theatre he would go listen to it.

[@couchcity]

That’s fascinating

[@kalishakta]

@@couchcity Another fun fact. All the street scenes filmed from inside the cab were just whatever was happening as they drove by. All the street scenes filmed from the street were staged.

If you like a dark character studies check out Nightcrawler. Jake Gyllenhaal is outstanding.

[@couchcity]

I love that movie. I’ll have to find a friend that hasn’t seen it yet.

First of all, nice reaction and cool to hear your thoughts afterwards too.
31:34 Well that's what the movie shows you on the surface. But then there is the theory that he did in fact die in that building and the last few scenes are only playing in his head.. I personally like that way of looking at it. After all he was shot more than once and obvisouly commited crime (something anyone would be arrested for and put into prison). Additionally the camera that is "floating" out of the scene (like he's drifting away, his soul leaving..) and the fact that especially Betsy would suddenly be in his Taxi and the dreamy way she appears.. when you rewatch it, you'll see what I mean. I always thought the ending of this movie had some Twilight Zone quality to it, haunting yet fascinating.

[@couchcity]

I love the twilight zone comparison. This theory makes more sense.

[@jamesalexander5623]

Goofy Theory! There is Nothing to indicate that the ending is anything other than what it shows!

[@iamamaniaint]

What do you think the final shot of him looking strangely into the rear view mirror meant. It was a surreal shot with its own sound cue. I may be wrong, but i believe Scorsese said it was meant to imply he would kill again, that he was still the same etc. Just curious what you think. ​@@jamesalexander5623

Bernard Herrman composed the soundtracks of both this and Psycho.

[@couchcity]

That’s a great resume

[@kalishakta]

@@couchcity He had a long career doing soundtracks. Check out the Wikipedia on him. He was influential on Angelo Badalamenti, the composer of David Lynch movies and shows soundtracks.
