    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Travis (Robert De Niro) eats breakfast with Iris (Jodie Foster) at a diner and thoughtfully gives her advice about her life.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    "All the animals come out at night" -- and one of them is a cabby about to snap. In Martin Scorsese's classic 1970s drama, insomniac ex-Marine Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) works the nightshift, driving his cab throughout decaying mid-'70s New York City, wishing for a "real rain" to wash the "scum" off the neon-lit streets. Chronically alone, Travis cannot connect with anyone, not even with such other cabbies as blowhard Wizard (Peter Boyle). He becomes infatuated with vapid blonde presidential campaign worker Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), who agrees to a date and then spurns Travis when he cluelessly takes her to a porno movie. After an encounter with a malevolent fare (played by Scorsese), the increasingly paranoid Travis begins to condition (and arm) himself for his imagined destiny, a mission that mutates from assassinating Betsy's candidate, Charles Palatine (Leonard Harris), to violently "saving" teen hooker Iris (Jodie Foster) from her pimp, Sport (Harvey Keitel). Travis' bloodbath turns him into a media hero; but has it truly calmed his mind? Written by Paul Schrader, Taxi Driver is an homage to and reworking of cinematic influences, a study of individual psychosis, and an acute diagnosis of the latently violent, media-fixated Vietnam era. Scorsese and Schrader structure Travis' mission to save Iris as a film noir version of John Ford's late Western The Searchers (1956), aligning Travis with a mythology of American heroism while exposing that myth's obsessively violent underpinnings. Yet Travis' military record and assassination attempt, as well as Palatine's political platitudes, also ground Taxi Driver in its historical moment of American in the 1970s. Employing such techniques as Godardian jump cuts and ellipses, expressive camera moves and angles, and garish colors, all punctuated by Bernard Herrmann's eerie final score (finished the day he died), Scorsese presents a Manhattan skewed through Travis' point-of-view, where De Niro's now-famous "You talkin' to me" improv becomes one more sign of Travis' madness. Shot during a New York summer heat wave and garbage strike, Taxi Driver got into trouble with the MPAA for its violence. Scorsese desaturated the color in the final shoot-out and got an R, and Taxi Driver surprised its unenthusiastic studio by becoming a box-office hit. Released in the Bicentennial year, after Vietnam, Watergate, and attention-getting attempts on President Ford's life, Taxi Driver's intense portrait of a man and a society unhinged spoke resonantly to the mid-'70s audience -- too resonantly in the case of attempted Reagan assassin and Foster fan John W. Hinckley. Taxi Driver went on to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but it lost the Best Picture Oscar to the more comforting Rocky. Anchored by De Niro's disturbing embodiment of "God's lonely man," Taxi Driver remains a striking milestone of both Scorsese's career and 1970s Hollywood.

      I saw her in an interview, and she said that Scorsese and Deniro really took her under their wing. She told them that there had to be more than just memorizing lines and being yourself, at which point Scorsese asked her many questions about Iris, detailed questions on everything about her, and Foster said before she realized it, she had enhanced and created Iris on her own. Then, Deniro, during rehearsals and takes, would throw curve balls at her by adlibs which she said enhanced her even more, by forcing her to bring her character to yet another level. The result by the three of them, is pretty brilliant, especially in his scene.

    I love the way Travis talks to Iris in this clip. The contrast between how they see the world is readily apparent. She's spouting off some childish nonsense about how her pimp could never kill someone because he's a Libra, and that they get along so well because they're both Libras. Travis has better labels for him. "Killer" and "dope-shooter," to be precise. Iris is a child, and she has created a child's fantasy in her mind about the world around her. That's why she has the sunglasses on in this scene, because she's blind. She cannot see the world around her. Travis sees the world for what it is, and he tells it to her straight, no sugar-coating.

    • @nfinn42
      @nfinn42 10 лет назад +519

      The problem is that Travis doesn't realize how to reach her, because of his fundamental inability to connect with other human beings. People who think the movie is about how bad crime is and how we need vigilantes are missing the point. The movie is about *alienation*. Travis is searching for a way to be a human being, to connect to others and to *matter*. He keeps failing miserably though.

At least his is more realistic, not rooted from some childish fantasy about every skin and color holding hands singing 'Kumaya My Lord', That ain't reality, and Palestine and Israel sure as hell will never be at peace.

    Robert DeNiro took Jodie Foster to this diner many times for breakfast, etc., while they were shooting. They began just by chatting about themselves, then as time went on he started incorporating bits of the dialogue into their visits. Then they would improvise, and go back to the dialogue. It was a very shrewd thing for him to do, working with a child actor who didn't have as strong a technique as he did...and maybe hadn't studied the "make it real" Method he had, as a stage actor in New York.

      I believe she was 14 when that scene was shot, but she had previous acting experience. I'm convinced that success in feature films depends on two key skills: surviving between shots (troupe politics); and the ability to deliver like a news reporter in a hurricane. If an actor can do that, then the director can get enough takes to put a scene together.

The one’s who rebel in such self-destructive and harmful ways are the ones who are ‘square’- they’re just like everyone else. To not be ‘square’ is to be kind, noble, virtuous- that’s real the rebellion. Granted, Travis is a hypocrite in this, but at least he is right about it in this context.

He is a disturbed, isolated guy with some pretty dangerous ideas in his head but he knows right from wrong and his disgust with the world around him makes him want to protect whatever is left of this poor young girl's innocence.

    "The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence. When we examine the moments, acts, and statements of all kinds of people -- not only the grief and ecstasy of the greatest poets, but also the huge unhappiness of the average soul…we find, I think, that they are all suffering from the same thing. The final cause of their complaint is loneliness."

    It's interesting that you can see Travis' shoulder when the camera is filming Iris, but you can only see Travis himself when the camera is filming him. And I don't think it's a coincidence because the setting is the same when Travis is having coffee with Betsy. Feel like Travis is the one that is isolated from the society.

      I’m 3 years years late but can you explain that to me I don’t get it, I always just thought it was symbolism for her sugar coating her life while Travis sees it for what it is

      +GeneralArmstrong COC To give it a more proper term, he's an anti-hero. I agree with Roger Ebert that in Scorsese's film world, there are no heroes. Jake LaMotta, Rupert Pupkin, Sam Bowden, "Ace" Rothstein, Henry Hill. None of those guys are heroes.
