The same team that told us the true, demented story of Jake LaMotta (RAGING BULL), the fictionalized version of a hopeless, depressed, burned-out paramedic's life (BRINGING OUT THE DEAD), and, in what some view as a high success and others a low failure, Gnostic church doctrine (THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST), gave us, in the very beginning, a powerful, gripping psychological thriller that takes you into the mind and life of a psychopath--TAXI DRIVER. As far as Martin Scorsese's psychological work is concerned, what SHUTTER ISLAND is to him and Leonardo DiCaprio, TAXI DRIVER is to him and Robert De Niro.
