Taxicab Confessions

Taxicab Confessions needs to be released on DVD. As a documentarian myself, this is one of my favorites. Gritty and unapolgetically real. Taxicab Confessions displays a wide range of what is part of the human spectrum. Moving, unsettling, sad, disgusting, wonderful, human, real, touching - it's all of these. It should be continued in more cities (took place in NYC) and as a regular series, but in the same manner as it was originally filmed and created. I would love to see a Chicago Taxicab Confessionals, as well as LA, etc. even a small town series - as well as international cities with subtitles. It seems that the best series are always the shortest lived.

First of all, if you lived in New York City you knew right away that this was a scripted situation. The characters depicted were the types that actual New York taxi drivers WOULD NEVER stop for. Also, the next time you catch a repeat, notice how much light there is inside the taxi cab at night. Just enough light for the 'hidden' camera. Right. And, the actors were so bad that you always caught them looking right into the 'hidden' camera that they were alleged not to know was there. Secondly, nobody talks to a taxi driver that much. The most conversation is "Do you have change?". If you were really a crack head would you have money for a taxi ride? And, would the driver stop to pick you up in the first place?

Taxicab reality

This documentary shows us New York at night from

taxicab view. Everybody had to see this masterpiece of work by Harry Gantz and Joe Gantz. Like in the (Robert De Nero) Taxi Driver in this documentary you can see all the scum on the earth.

All the evil comes out at night. In this documentary you can see gay, cops, hookers, drugs, homeless people.

You can see what the pain really is, and you must be pleased by normal and healthy.
