The method of narration of Taxi Driver is more ‘art cinema’. This is shown through the main protagonist, Travis Bickle, a quintessential anti-hero, who is psychologically unstable. Bickle is obviously a ‘bad’ character as he murders with no sign of conscience, and his attitudes towards others throughout the film are disturbing. In Hollywood, films have basic characters who are either good or bad. The audience like the good and hate the bad. Art cinema crosses over and has characters who are both good and bad, who we equally like and dislike. We like Bickle because the film is viewed through his point of view. The good and bad are prominent as Bickle truly believes that his plans to kill Palentine and Sport are for the best.
