The principal purpose of this scene was that he gave him the idea of buying a 44 magnum pistol among the other guns when he is going to buy his arsenal.... Great acting of Marty, really sounds like a total psycho nutjob in this scene !
nowadays you can't find this kind of good suspense on a movie. It is trendy to produce super-heroes or animated movies, this kind of movies will be lost by the time...same happened with that old good times with ballads on a disco, pity... :(
my fave scene in the movie.. hahahahahaha.. love this .. and hes in another scene on the street when the woman of travis's desires walks by .. this is why I wanna make movies
@TheEvilelvis89 From what I've read, he was on coke all the way up to the point of Raging Bull, which during production he thought Raging Bull would be his magnum opus and final work because he thought he was going to die shortly afterwords.
Scorsese isn't really there. This is in Bickles mind. Scorsese is a projection, an embodiment of all Travis feelings and thoughts of misogny and racism coupled with an urge to commit horrific violence.
@Ronaldinhoo11 Oh is that a fact? I'm sure Scorsese would disagree with that, along with all other baseless interpretations, most notable that Travis dies at the end.
Why is it so unlikely? This is open for interpretation. I believe this is in Travis imagination. And why couldn't Travis have died at the end? Maybe we were just experiencing his dying thoughts?
@Ronaldinhoo11 It's fine if you want to see it that way, but you have to recognize that what you are doing is 'pretending' that it is that way. The film presents this scene as reality as well as Travis surviving at the end as being reality. Scorsese even explicitly said that the notion of Travis dying at the end was not his intention, and rejected it as silly. Nothing about the film suggests that either scene is Travis's imagination.
Well, i didn't state fact. This is what i believe, this could very well be in his imagination. Scorseses character is an alter ego who is the embodiment of the demon in Travis.
@Ronaldinhoo11 It's sort of like saying "Neither magic or Hogwarts were real, it was all Harry Potter's imagination" ... You can say that... but there's no reason to. If Scorsese intended for this to be Travis's imagination, then he failed as a director by not making that obvious. So all that sort of interpretation essentially boils down to just being "What if?" questions. i.e. "What if Travis died at the end?" "What if he was just imagining it?" It's just not the reality the camera presents.
There's no doubt that Scorsese is a better actor than Tarantino. Anyone who argues otherwise is an idiot. Tarantino has made some great films, but he has one character that he plays, and it is himself. It's always so obvious that you're watching a movie when he's on the screen, and it can often detract from the scene.
@BIuejay It's common knowledge that the worst parts of a Tarantino flick is whenever he's in front of the camera. That includes his cameos in Rob Rodriguez flicks as well, but at least Rob has the common decency to have Quentin killed off at some point in the movie.
@mastergradeone The man has been driven insane with jealousy and lost all concern for his own well being. There is no other scene with Martin, this scene is meant to show the scope of customers DeNiro picks up on a nightly basis.
it just shows that in the end Travis isn't much better than the unstable crazy scum he has to drive around. difference being, of course, Travis actually acts out his violent fantasy, and the passenger just fantasizes about it.
Scorsese should act some more, he's very convincing in this scene.Though I wouldn't want him to take away too much time from creating magic behind the camera.
even when the man is acting he's still directing, as in him directing DeNiro to stop the cab and search the building through windows from within the car. like a director in a silent film that commands the actor what to do during the recording, only the director is visible and audible in the backround. makes me wonder if DeNiro was always in character and responding to Scorsese's direction with the same cold, hesitant demeanor.
Scorsese certainly has some acting chops. He was offered to play Charles Manson in the '76 tv version of 'Helter Skelter' but he turned down the part.
@blah64924 you know whats better than that dude is if scorsese actually fucking improvised all that shit while in the cab and didnt have it in his script
@blah64924 thats the genius of scorsese. was he a mad man with delusional thoughts or was he telling the truth???? thats why taxi driver is my favourite film of all time.
@SuperMiwok Basically, Travis (the taxi driver) comes back from Vietnam, sees a lot of bad shit in New York, and decides to become a vigilante and kill bad people.
@stratman06 lol thanks, but i perfectly understand the whole movie. I just want to know why this scene in particular is shown. It just seems too random.
@ZeroApostle4Ever I didn't notice him because, when I first saw this movie, I already had this image in my head of today's Scorsese, that of him being grey-haired and clean-shaven.
@ZeroApostle4Ever In case you were not aware, Scorsese's mother was in Goodfellas playing Pesci's mother, and she also had a small part in Casino as well.
@calumjlindsay .. B/c either the right wants to build a ridiculous wall or the left wants to actually increase immigration by legalizing it.
Out of the 2, the left's positions won't deal with the underlying problem driving it- the race to the bottom, which allows to rich to get richer as they save even more on cheap labor, and native born Americans are simply shoved into corner.They can't immigrate,under Bush ppl said they would move to Norway- if you were a PhD professor,you won't get residency
@calumjlindsay huh, yes there is and until we recognize that people DO organize themselves along the lines of race/country of origin, and therefore compete against other races, we are condemned to repeat the same mistakes over and over.
You can always tell the major flaws in a society by looking at what you can't talk about,and in this country it's the fact that white men put out of a job by illegal immigrants may just have a point. Unfortunately we won't deal with this constructively...
--all the remaining white cabbies and conspired to give them terrible hours and crappy taxis-the old,broken ones. A case of reverse racism if I ever saw one. If it had been white people giving Pakis the crappy cabs,i wouldn't have been surprised if the white guy had been thrown in jail or sued into debt slavery. This to me show the hypocrisy of race relations, where if all the new immigrants were actually competing in large numbers for the middle class jobs, we would see more people concerned w
C'mon people. If you are a white guy, with a few screws loose because a black guy is deep-dicking your wife, you might just drop an n-bomb or two. Scorsese is by no means racist for playing a guy who is in a homicidal rage. It seems ad-lib and sounds like what a guy who is pissed off would say.
@placebo4yo Tarantino is extremely annoying and comes across as a wimpy "kid" trying to be badass really hard. Extremely bad actor, extremely. His writing is superb though as is his direction. Leave his writing for actual actors to work with and you've got gold.
Tarantino has such a ridiculous presence and self awareness about him that it's hard to take his character seriously. Still, he is a great director of entertaining films which never cease to put a smile on my face.
I am just happy that they are both around making great films.
the best scene scorsese ever did is in mean streets where he shoots johnny boy on the brooklyn bridge... he kisses his pistol and blasts him in the neck.. good shit..
I hardly doubt scorese was being racist in his own, he was showing the character study of a man who wanted revenge and he just so happened to paly a racist, it's just a role
Martin scorcese is a racist, whenever he stars in his own movie, he plays a racist. i like his movies but people just hae to accept the fact that he's a racist.
@acestriker413 yes, but HE chose that role. He chooses to play a racist. Have you seen Goodfellas? If you have, you remember that scene where he walks into the coffee shop and says: ''two niggers just stole my truck.'' that was him, he chose to play that role. He is a racist.
@liveforever36 People say that about Tarantino too despite him bieng friends with Samuel l. Jackson. Good directors show reality, reality isn't very pretty unfortunatly.
@liveforever36 Scorsese wasn't even supposed to be in the film. The day this scene was shot, the actor who was supposed to play the part didn't show up. There was no time to find somebody else to do it, so Scorsese ended up playing it. Considering what a cultural icon this film turned out to be, that actor must have a pretty sad case of Pete Best Syndrome.
@early65model yah i think your right. it makes sense bc this guy was acting all messed up...although if my girl were cheating on me like that id probably have feelings to kill her too
@knightsofni101 If you think that's crazy, watch the scene where Betsy is introduced and walking down the street. ("...she was wearing a white dress. She appeared like an angel, out of this filthy mass..."). Marty is in the background when she walks by and his head turns to follow her. That one took me forever to notice.
@NightmareKingz it's a fucking character not martin fucking scorsese jesus christ it's a fucking word, you think he would shoot a girl with .44 magnum in the pussy.
@NightmareKingz we're all human u douche.... we're all a little racist whether u like it or not... including u! "italian faggot" geez ur also a homophobe too
Scorcese was ACTING in a MOVIE. It's a caricature of a white guy, with latent-to-blatant racist attitudes whose wife was having an affair with a black guy. He was acting. You were not acting. You were not in a movie when you delivered the great line, "Ha that Italian faggot..."
@NightmareKingz Scorsese wasn't even supposed to be in the movie. The actor who was supposed to play that role didn't show up that day, and there was no time to find someone else before they shot it, so Scorsese stepped in and played it himself. He was delivering the lines that were written in the script. If the regular actor had shown up, he'd have said the same lines. Would he, then, have been a racist? If Scorsese's a "subtle racist", you're an "overt moron".
@NightmareKingz So if it was a black dude that was pissed that a White man was fucking his wife and he used the word "cracker" that would be alright with you,huh?
Why hasn't Martin Scorsese acted in more movies, he is a great fucking actor. This scene is one of the best in the whole freaking movie. So fucked up and surreal. A psychopathic taxi driver picks a up fucking psychotic that is even more fucked up than he is.
@RenegadeCossack i think he is what gives travis his ideas. why else would travis use a 44. if the guy didnt put so much emphasis on it.... scorsese is the best director hands down
@RenegadeCossack lol yeah, at least he is one of the only directors who actually can act, i mean look at quentin tarantino! 'i don't need you to tell me how god my fucking coffee is ok, i buy it, i know how the shit tastes...' wtf was that all about? i love tarantinos movies so i think he really should just stick behind the camera!
@RenegadeCossack I had never actually seen Taxi Driver in full before.. and then a couple of years ago I saw it on DVD. To cut a long story short this particular scene was hard to watch.. I suppose because I was looking to be 'entertained'. When you look at it for what it is not only is it brilliant but also -in terms of your words- so absolutely true. I have to laugh now because of the irony of the situation. Thanks for posting :)
Martin Scorsese was in a few of his own films;Gangs of New York,Mean Streets,King Of Comedy,Raging Bull and this of course.And he was actually in this twice,once in this scene,and again sitting on a wall in front of the election building staring at Cybil Shepherd's character.But I suppose you already knew that.
Did you ever see what a .44 Magnum would do to a woman's face? It'll fucking destroy it. Just blow it right apart... Did you ever see what it can do to a woman's pussy? That you should see. You should see what a .44 Magnum's gonna do to a woman's pussy...
Everything about this scene was disturbing, Scorsese is both scary and kind of funny in this scene, I'm SO glad he replaced the actor that was suppose to play this scene because it seems to me that Scorsese understood exactly what the minor character was conveying as he represents Bickle's hidden dark desires. Btw, 3:03 is chilling the way De Niro turns his head. Scorsese should've been like Orson Welles and acted more in his film he's incredible!
I don´t know why they don´t categorize Taxi Driver as and horror movie. For me is creepy like John Carpenter or Dario Argento films...and this could happen.
I'm not sure how it happened or why it turned out this way but I can't think of any other movie that parallels this in style, substance, or intent. Love it or hate it, this film stands alone.
The scene is disturbing and awesome. But it also symbolizes so much.
Travis has the mental demeanor of a dumb, shy kid up until this scene, and the demeanor of a mischievous boy with BB guns for the rest of the movie. It's like he loses his innocence here. Look at the expressions on his face. It's like a little boy who heard something nasty from an angry father. Something that he wasn't ready for.

@knightsofni101 If you think that's crazy, watch the scene where Betsy is introduced and walking down the street. ("...she was wearing a white dress. She appeared like an angel, out of this filthy mass..."). Marty is in the background when she walks by and his head turns to follow her. That one took me forever to notice.

@NightmareKingz
Scorcese was ACTING in a MOVIE. It's a caricature of a white guy, with latent-to-blatant racist attitudes whose wife was having an affair with a black guy. He was acting. You were not acting. You were not in a movie when you delivered the great line, "Ha that Italian faggot..."
vinnybkfam 11 months ago
@NightmareKingz Scorsese wasn't even supposed to be in the movie. The actor who was supposed to play that role didn't show up that day, and there was no time to find someone else before they shot it, so Scorsese stepped in and played it himself. He was delivering the lines that were written in the script. If the regular actor had shown up, he'd have said the same lines. Would he, then, have been a racist? If Scorsese's a "subtle racist", you're an "overt moron".

Why hasn't Martin Scorsese acted in more movies, he is a great fucking actor. This scene is one of the best in the whole freaking movie. So fucked up and surreal. A psychopathic taxi driver picks a up fucking psychotic that is even more fucked up than he is.

@RenegadeCossack I had never actually seen Taxi Driver in full before.. and then a couple of years ago I saw it on DVD. To cut a long story short this particular scene was hard to watch.. I suppose because I was looking to be 'entertained'. When you look at it for what it is not only is it brilliant but also -in terms of your words- so absolutely true. I have to laugh now because of the irony of the situation. Thanks for posting :)

Martin Scorsese was in a few of his own films;Gangs of New York,Mean Streets,King Of Comedy,Raging Bull and this of course.And he was actually in this twice,once in this scene,and again sitting on a wall in front of the election building staring at Cybil Shepherd's character.But I suppose you already knew that.

Everything about this scene was disturbing, Scorsese is both scary and kind of funny in this scene, I'm SO glad he replaced the actor that was suppose to play this scene because it seems to me that Scorsese understood exactly what the minor character was conveying as he represents Bickle's hidden dark desires. Btw, 3:03 is chilling the way De Niro turns his head. Scorsese should've been like Orson Welles and acted more in his film he's incredible!

The scene is disturbing and awesome. But it also symbolizes so much.
Travis has the mental demeanor of a dumb, shy kid up until this scene, and the demeanor of a mischievous boy with BB guns for the rest of the movie. It's like he loses his innocence here. Look at the expressions on his face. It's like a little boy who heard something nasty from an angry father. Something that he wasn't ready for.
