Visual Design – Taxi Driver The first two and a half minutes of the film Taxi Driver (1976) begin with a close-up shot of a cab rolling through the hazy miasma of a dark‚ musty street. The camera then fades into the eyes of a weary driver‚ seemingly unfocused as he stares ahead in the same fashion he must do every single night.

In this episode‚ Jim makes the claim that Alex Rieger is going to die on that upcoming Thursday night after having a dream‚ similar to how the Oracle of Delphi told Laius and Jocasta that their son‚ Oedipus‚ would grow up to kill his father and sleep with his mother.

Mise-en-scene in Taxi Driver Taxi Driver is about Travis Bickle‚ a "sick" taxi driver who is both a prophet and/or a mad man. We are never allowed to know what the movie itself thinks of him‚ we are never told to love him or hate him and the movie never states whether he is ethically right or wrong. This movie is not about the answers to the problems of the society. It is just about the questions and unknowns. It is just an interesting journey in the modern society that could make people
