Can the anti-Trump hysteria get more out of hand? Incidentally I have always loathed "Taxi Driver". A sad, depressing film featuring a mentally disturbed Vietnam War vet (what other kind is there?) and a 12 year old prostitute. The stuff dreams are made of.
ZitatSARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Robert De Niro says Donald Trump is like the main character of the legendary 1976 movie "Taxi Driver," the mentally disturbed Travis Bickle.
"What he has been saying is totally crazy, ridiculous, stuff that shouldn't be even ... he is totally nuts," De Niro said during a question and answer session at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
When the moderator asked De Niro to elaborate on Bickle's mental illness, the first thing that seemed to have crossed the actor's mind was the Republican candidate.
One of the things to me was just the irony at the end, he (Bickle) is back driving a cab, celebrated, which is kind of relevant in some way today too," De Niro said.
"People like Donald Trump who shouldn't be where he is so ... God help us," De Niro said.
