Easily, one of the most iconic movies of all time. Legendary Martin Scorsese's 1976 classic tells the tale of Travis Bickle, played to perfection by Robert De Niro, isolated in New York, struggling to maintain his sanity in a place he subconsciously does not belong in. The film explores themes of loneliness in a way that is sympathetic and haunting at the same time, a beautiful contradiction. As an introvert who has struggled with loneliness my whole life, this movie affects me like no other. But aside from all the deep stuff within the film, it's extremely well directed and brilliantly written, led by the career defining performance of De Niro. One of the most compelling narratives I've ever experienced in film. The atmosphere is also a definite highlight in this film, as it adds that layer of tension that only gets more prevalent as the movie progresses. Without a doubt, it's my favorite movie of all time and I can't recommend it enough. If you're a movie buff and love movies that challenge you and give you an in depth look at such an intriguing concept, do yourself a favor and watch this movie, then add it to your collection and buy it.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
When Ellie Fields accepts a teaching job in a tiny Louisiana town deep in bayou country in 1949, she knows her life will change--but she could never imagine just how dramatically.

Though rightfully suspicious of outsiders, who have threatened both their language and their unique culture, most of the residents come to appreciate the young and idealistic schoolteacher, and she's soon teaching just about everyone, despite opposition from both the school board and a politician with ulterior motives. Yet it's the lessons Ellie herself will learn--from new friends, a captivating Cajun fisherman, and even a legendary white alligator haunting the bayou--that will make all the difference.

Take a step away from the familiar and enter the shadowy waters of bayou country for a story of risk, resilience, and romance.
