I don't think it's a film that hits you immediately. It certainly took a few watches before it really sank in for me. It is very slow paced and much of its iconic status really only refers to the final quarter of the movie. I love it more and more but it almost had to stop being 'Taxi Driver' before I could really appreciate it. Take away the post-Mohican stuff and it's arguably one of his gentlest films.
