 Ridgecrest Blog: Traveling With Lonely Drivers
Lonely drivers are the ones who when you are traveling on the interstate with your cruise control set, come speeding up behind you like a bat out of hell and then instead of passing you they slow down, match your speed while traveling in the passing lane.
You can't pass the car in front of you because your lonely driver is pacing you in the lane next to you.
Once you disengage your cruise control your lonely driver will then resume the speed they were traveling when they sped up behind you.

 Orbital Reviews: Taxi Driver (1976)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
He is constantly lonely, but in addition to simply being lonely, he suffers from self-imposed loneliness.
Taxi Driver also was one of Foster's earliest roles, which is significant because she became a huge star in the following years and remained one for decades.
Taxi Driver is an unusual film with an atypical protagonist, which combined with excellent performances from the cast, great directing, and remarkable production design forms one of the most powerful films of the 1970's.

 Las Vegas SUN: Study no surprise to taxicab drivers
That was the reaction of local taxicab drivers to a government study that they are the most likely victims of workplace violence.
In November, the state Taxicab Authority approved several regulations that give drivers more ways to protect themselves, such as allowing drivers who fear for their safety to refuse fares, installing interior latches inside trunks to allow drivers who have been taken hostage to escape, and requiring drivers to take mandatory safety classes.
Driver Sven Nilsson said these measures are all well and good but the sad fact remains that nationwide "a cabby is nine times more likely to be killed from violence than from injuries sustained in an automobile accident."

 The anguish of God's lonely men: Dostoevsky's Underground man and Scorsese's Travis Bickle
Taxi Driver reflects the influence of French Existentialism, and the mise-en-scene, lighting, and setting-particularly in the gloom and darkness of the film-owe a debt to film noir.
In Taxi Driver we move from the visual and the auditory conjoined (Travis writing the journal as we hear him narrate those same words) to the parallel, simultaneous presentation of two discrete diachronic moments (Travis driving while the soundtrack continues his reading of the journal).
Unless otherwise noted, citations from Taxi Driver are taken from the actual film dialogue, which varies from the original screenplay because of changes made during filming and also because of improvisations included in the final cut.

 Ben Famiglietti on Taxi Driver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
This is not to suggest that Taxi Driver is merely a modern day remake of The Searchers, although the narrative and basic thematic structure of Scorsese's film does appear to be virtually identical to Ford's classic.
As in The Searchers, the pivotal action of Taxi Driver involves the violent attempt to rescue a womanchild who has been abducted or seduced into an alien world of the wilderness or the night, and to wreak vengeance on her abductor.
The resolution of Taxi Driver recuperates the Western's pattern of valourizing violence, for neither Travis nor Ethan (for that matter) can be dismissed as simply an aberrant individual.

 Taxi Driver (1976)
Taxi Driver (1976) is director Martin Scorsese's and screenwriter Paul Schrader's gritty, disturbing, nightmarish modern film classic, that examines alienation in urban society.
His assaultive unhinging is first paired with a longing to connect with a blonde goddess office worker (Shepherd), and then with an attempt to rescue/liberate a young 12-year old prostitute named Iris (Foster) from her predatory pimp "Sport" (Keitel) and her tawdry, streetwalking life.
Taxi Driver has been acknowledged as consciously influenced by John Ford's The Searchers (1956) - the story of another angry war veteran and social outcast who becomes obsessed during a search and rescue of his young niece from a long-haired Comanche chief named Scar.

 driver for wicked one subwoofer
The specs for the Dayton's are not even close except for efficiency and they are not installed in the optimum enclosure but they sure did put a pleasing look on my 16 year old daughter's face when she put in her rap music on our home theater system.
Now, I can hear the short comings of this driver in the WO (a bit muddy) and may try to vent and downsize the rear compartment for the Dayton's specs before I drop the $340 for the RF-108's (Previous returned Dayton's cost $100 from Parts Express).
Installing took eight of these hours only because I installed the speaker baffles before receiving the drivers and the holes were just a bit to big for the driver so it was a bit touchy drilling the screw holes.

 Taxi Driver
Taxi Driver is the definitive cinematic portrait of loneliness and alienation manifested as violence.
It is as if director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader had tapped into precisely the same source of psychological inspiration ("I just knew I had to make this film," Scorsese would later say), combined with a perfectly timed post-Watergate expression of personal, political, and societal anxiety.
Robert De Niro, as the tortured, ex-Marine cab driver Travis Bickle, made movie history with his chilling performance as one of the most memorably intense and vividly realized characters ever committed to film.

 SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Minnie Driver
Driver, who has been a long-time campaigner on behalf of some of the poorest people in the region, told BBC World Service's The Interview programme she would shortly be heading to the worst-affected areas to help maintain awareness of what had happened.
Minnie Driver, as the Italian diva upstaged by Christine and the Phantom, tries a bit of dialect humor, saying things like " `Ee lava me!" and "I 'ate my 'at!" as if she were auditioning for a part in the next Super Mario video game.
Minnie Driver as a diva whom Christine replaces is a ridiculous caricature, and ballet mistress Miranda Richardson's French accent is off-putting.

 dOc DVD Review: God's Lonely Man (1996)
God's Lonely Man is a coarse, violent 1996 indie that has a lot in common with another, more mainstream bit of classic American cinema: Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver.
His life is painfully hollow and empty, as we learn from his ever-present narration (another uncredited nod to Scorsese's film), and he is burdened with violent fits of nausea whenever he is confronted with something he cares about.
God's Lonely Man is a hypnotic, at times immensely disturbing film that is powerful, well-acted and one that bristles with violent fits of desperation and rage.

 Observer | We're Minnie Driver's lonely hearts club band...
Minnie Driver, whose roster of ex-lovers includes Harrison Ford, John Cusack and Matt Damon (in stamp- collecting terms: two British Guiana Penny Magentas and a 20p Queen's Jubilee stamp from last year), is currently unattached.
But the theory in some corners of the celebrity press is that it's because she's a sexy, successful woman that she finds herself alone.
The only explanation for this undesirable singledom, it is argued, is that Driver scares men off.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Taxi Driver at Epinions.com
Starring longtime Scorsese regular Robert De Niro as an ex-marine turned NYC cab driver named Travis Bickle, the film is a harrowing, idiosyncratic character study of a young man trying to connect with the world only to find more and more ugliness.
After a failed date with a political volunteer and a meeting with a crazed man in his cab, Bickle descends into madness by plotting an assassination of a presidential candidate.
With the duo of Scorsese and Schrader bringing a wonderful, gritty story, credit also goes to Michael and Julia Phillips in the producer’s chair while cinematographer Michael Chapman shines with his enchanting, decaying photography in his sinister view of NYC while capturing the beauty of New York City beneath its ugliness.

 Slower Speeds Initiative Newsletter Spring 2001
On camera-enforced roads in Lincolnshire, 45% fewer drivers are exceeding the speed limit and the numbers exceeding it by more than 15mph has fallen by 89%.
Some banned drivers would be encouraged to retake their tests in return for a reduction of up to 25% reduction of their disqualification period with compulsory retesting after lengthy bans.
Insurance costs would fall for trained, protected drivers, and increase for the others, who would have to consider the high costs of continuing to drive at a poor standard and without protection.

 SparkNotes: Taxi Driver: Score
Bernard Hermann's soundtrack, which he wrote shortly before his death, turns Travis's ordinary life into what is sometimes a heroic epic, sometimes a horror film, and other times no more than just another New York story.
The theme evokes the lonely melancholy of an individual alienated from his environment.
When the camera pulls away from the upstairs room with the corpses and descends the staircase, the saxophone theme blends with the trumpets, slowed down and played rhythmically out of joint, to emphasize Travis's transformation from a lonely taxi driver into a murderer.

 SparkNotes: Taxi Driver: Inside the Mind of a Lonely Man
Taxi Driver is an extended close-up of Travis Bickle, its protagonist, and our proximity to him reveals his loneliness.
The camera abandons Travis's point of view only twice, once during the scene between Betsy and Tom in the campaign office near the beginning of the film, and again during the scene between Iris and Sport near the end.
Travis views himself as "God's lonely man," yet the point of "God's Lonely Man," an essay by Thomas Wolfe from which Schrader took this phrase, is that loneliness is a trait that all men possess, even if each man believes his feelings are original and unique.
