Infectious Wind-'Struments
Most of you may very likely hate this; but, if you go back and watch Taxi Driver - - it might infect you, like it has me. This 8:00 number by Bernard Herrmann epitomizes the telling nature of the movie. It is back and forth, menacing one moment - - and then smooth, Apple street jazz. And vice versa. There is one scene in the film, that I may post another time, in which Scorsese mounts a camera on De Niro's cab. It shows the beauty of New York City, as the car drives through a busy sector of the city on a slick & rainy Manhattan evening. Ah to Hell with it. Words can't do the scene justice. Check it out sometime and just see for yourself. Til then, get infected.
