Robert De Niro compares Trump with “Taxi Driver” character
The Sarajevo Film Festival “was born during a dark and unsafe time to counter the butchering of war with a celebration of art and humanity”, Mr. De Niro said.
That’s from Deadline, which quotes De Niro as suggesting that Trump says “totally insane, ridiculous stuff” and that-like Bickle-he “shouldn’t be where he is so…god help us”.
The festival was officially opened by two-time Oscar-winning United States actor and producer Robert De Niro during a ceremony at the National Theatre, Xinhua reported.
Back in March, Robert De Niro attracted a lot of controversy when he chose to include anti-vaccination documentary Vaxxed in the lineup for the Tribeca Film Festival (which he co-founded).
This is not the first time that De Niro has spoken out against Trump on a public stage.
Robert De Niro as one of Martin Scorsese’s infamous characters, Travis Bickle, in Taxi Driver.
So when Robert De Niro calls Donald Trump “totally nuts” everyone should listen. Robert De Niro opened the 22nd Sarajevo Film Festival on Friday, .
“There are going to be no surprises, and she has earned the right to be president and the head of the country at this point”, De Niro told the Daily Beast. “He shouldn’t even be where he is, so God help us”.
The actor was attending the film festival, now in its 22nd year, to receive its first ever lifetime achievement award.
The audience at the Sarajevo Film Festival responded to his commentary with enthusiastic applause and DeNiro also went on to say that he believed the media had given Trump far too much attention for his outlandish remarks.
