Ingmar Bergman on Martin Scorsese masterpiece Taxi Driver

mr bergman you probably are aware of the so-called link between the attempted assassination of president reagan and the movie taxi driver i would just like to get some comments from you please your feelings about violence in films and particularly american films no you know in all art today you have aggression and violence sometimes the the aggression and the violence are clean and sometimes they are dirty sort of pornographic violence i will not talk about pornographic violence because i think it has nothing with artistical work to do i think is mr scott's thesis film the taxi driver is a film about violence on the highest artistic level and if there will be a link between this situation with mr regan and this film i think the artist can't be responsible for that because all over the world there are people who uses use art in the wrong way
