...and not to sound high-and-mighty, but I loved it upon first viewing. I thought DeNiro was unbelievable...one of the few films the actor sinks their teeth so deep into a role you forget that you are even watching that actor...they become the character...and the acting is just so raw, on another level. Visually, thematically, etc. it took a couple more viewings, but on first viewing I thought it was unbelievable and the acting left my jaw on the floor. Watch it again and we'll talk about if Travis actually died and the last however-or-so minutes of the film are his fantasy or some kind of fever dream.
