all around great movie. violence, fantasy, philosophy, (about Detroit), good guy that's REALLY bad, and in the end...has some romance and heart. What else could you ask for?
always said i would sign up for any war - before they drafted me. Then I saw this movie. Then I asked myself - ARE YOU CRAZY??? Watching Martin Sheen get dragged down into the horrors inside himself is probably the best acting job I have ever seen.
One of the best movies ever made. Extremely foul...one of the foulest movies ever made. BUT, one of the most intelligent movies I have ever seen. It's not important what you believe...but its important to believe.
You can't list all the star in this movie. Christian Slater is great thru the whole movie. Gary Oldman plays the best character in movie history. Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken have the best scene in movie history. And James Gandolphini and Patricia Arquette aren't far behind.
WOW!!!! Freaky movie. Can't say too much cause it gives it away...but Travis Bickle is one of the sacriest characters in the cinema (up there with De Niro's Max Cady).
The American educational system sucks. And this movie tells you why. We don't promote creativity and thinking...we teach reguritation of facts, figures and dates. But this movie is so much more than that....teachers inspiring kids. What a concept.
If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you have no sense of humor. Tim Robbins best job. He's a good guy, that loves his girlfriend, that's not the brightest bulb and he's fed up, but isn't quite sure what he's supposed to do to to show he's pissed of and not gonna take it anymore.
Not sure what I find more distrubing: the people involved with the making of this film or the fact I enjoyed it so much. The actors all make this seem so real and natural and that's what makes this movie so scary.
