I still can’t believe that this scene wasn’t even scripted. Martin told Robert to go in the room and see if he could say something to himself in the mirror, and he came up with all that on the spot basically. Truly amazing.
This line was actually stuck in De Niro's head for a few days after seeing a Bruce Springsteen concert where Bruce was interacting with the crowd and at one point asked them "Are you talkin' to me?" ;)
@@ChairmanLor In fact, Travis is Joker in a sense if you think carefully. The society failed him so he became mohawk Travis. That's another Joker to me
Well Peter Finch won that year for Network. He was very good in it plus he died after the movie wrapped up so he(Finch) had the sentimental vote. DeNiro had already won two years before for The Godfather 2 and the main reason the movie got made was because he signed unto it, the studio wouldn’t touch it otherwise.
does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself. Or from holding certain views which others may find inadmissible.
De Niro's portrayal of Travis Bickle in 'Taxi Driver' is the epitome of Method acting. The iconic 'You talkin' to me?' scene still gives me goosebumps every time.
This movie is not prettied or glamourized but real gritty and mean. It is so real how it affects one man viewing garbage, exploitation, politics, and corruption. He lived poor, he was uneducated, and began to fight with violence to save a child from prostitution. This is a very interesting study of a man's sensitivity towards his environment.
@Lee Sun hun v chai exactly. I find also a sexual parallelism. Like he has something inside him trying to come out but he is unable during the film to take it off. Finally both things, the sexual frustration and the urge to kill culminate in the last scene when he does the mass murder.
@Lee Sun hun v chai he thought to do something good for society by elimination those in power aswell to engage him in something to do. Cuz loneliness can drag you in situations which u didn't expected to be
1:30 in my personal opinion, this is the single greatest and most groundbreaking edit in all of film history. It's like Lawrence of Arabia blowing out the match, but for the lonely and insane. I still remember my reaction of the double take when I was 12-13 watching it for the first time. My jaw hit the floor. You're no longer watching a film. You're stuck in the room with this guy.
It’s not about who made it first and if it’s deep or not. It’s about how it is used and here, it also made me feel a lot. For me, Martin Scorsese is a great master at creating immersive moods
Yup. Today's filmmakers is hardly make something original. They copy the older movies and took influence out of it. A24 by far is my only hope in today's cinema
Z-Rex, when I was your age I knew taxi driver, raging Bull, godfather, etc...am I better than you? No. Does everyone have to like that kind of cinema, instead of marvel movies? No. But if I knew, nowadays is very very easy to at least see every movie ever made, thanks to Internet. And everyone can have an opinion. The bad thing for me is most Kids (not taking of you) dont even want to see, mainly cause the film is decades old...that is nonsense. If a thing is good, it was good 50 years ago and it will be 50 years from now on. For example, most of the music I really enjoy was made before I was born...imagine if I didnt want to ear it cause it was 'old'...
The line "You talking to me?" is such an iconic and powerful line because its so real. It is so authentic for an unhinged mad man whose practicing a homicide, to say.
I think this scene is misinterpreted. It seems like people think he's going insane and talking to himself in the mirror. I think more that he's supposed to be rehearsing what he'll say to others and he's trying to develop his new tough guy persona.
Yeah he’s developing his new persona because of his obsession with Betsy, and the obsession with Betsy eventually drives him crazy as he tries to kill Palantine.
Yeah he was very good looking back then, and now look at him totally a different person. But now the beauty standard has changed. You got to look like a pretty girl like BTS members to get under the top 10 positions of most handsome men, and they have crazy girl fanbase too. It's sad.
is it true that this was completely improvised? i heard that the script didnt give out the exact dialogue, but rather was something like "the character talks to his reflection", and de niro improvised.
I watched this on TCM last night and De Niro had said he took inspiration for the lines "You talkin to me?" By none other than Bruce Springsting. I guess at a concert, Springsting would rally up the crowd and then ask "You talkin to me?" back to the crowd. Amazing.
They were all standing around and de niro started talking to himself so they decided to film it and added it into the movie. A lot of older movies in some parts are improvised or added. Lool at full metal jacket the whole intro with r lee ermey is all improvised
What I love about this scene is that Travis is literally looking at himself in the mirror, with all his weapons strapped on, and he doesn't see a villain or madman at all, but he sees instead a hero. The irony is that despite the fact that he is staring directly into the mirror, inviting him to do some inward reflection and gain some awareness of himself, he sees instead the silhouette of a hero in the making, an ideal taken outside of his own inner life (from a western or war movie, perhaps). Looking into the mirror ironically alienates him even more from access to his own subconscious inner world.
But it's not. It's ok, and a must watch once, but it's not in even the top 300. It's an earlier version of natural born killers, a movie which is popular only because of it's cast and thinks it has more to say about society than it really does. It buys into it's own hype.
I remember seeing this when I was 18, years after it was first released. DeNiro's performance blew me away ( no pun intended). It was quite chilling to see how easily when isolated and marginalised a human being can mentally disintegrate.
"I'm the only one here" In a movie full of memorable quotes, this one doesn't get brought up a lot. It so perfectly illustrates the isolation theme of the movie.
Young Robert de Niro is unconventionally cute. I mean, he's not one of those typical dream-boys like young Travolta or modern day Zacc Effron. There's something peculiar about him, something different. He looks mature but still vulnerable.
That would work, with the story of that one Uber Driver who became a hero for preventing a mass shooting. Take a twist on that story, like how with Travis became a hero after shooting up the brothel.
Except in "UBER Driver" he would be thrown in jail for saving the life of a child prostitute and then given more jail time for carrying a gun in a liberal socialist state like new york.
greyson rhodes I forgot - Christopher Nolan as well and David Fincher , I don't like Tarantino , the only movie I really appreciate of his is Jackie Brown , and Pulp Fiction was okay , but that's it.

1:33 I love little realistic moments like this. Travis messing up his own words in his thoughts and having to correct himself. Seriously you will never again get genius little moments like that in modern day films
No, you can find them, they just don’t make it into to big budget releases anymore lest they scare someone away, and risk not making back their 10 billion dollar production costs.
It caught me so off guard the first time I saw it, because it's genuinely funny and you wouldn't expect that from a movie like this. The best part is the footage of him rotating towards the camera restarting with his speech.
Yeah me too. I downloaded this movie alongwith subtitles. After this film, I watched cape fear (1991). after these 2 movies I have become an avid DeNiro'a fan. I just want to meet him someday if god helps me. BTW I am from India
I think Travis Bickle is symbolically fighting his "other" self. The first part involved him trying in vain to establish some connection. When he was rejected, the "other" side of him showed up because Travis thought he was destined to be lonely forever and would never be able to be "normal". At the end of this clip, you see his reflection("other" side) say "You're dead". It means the old Travis is no longer here, and the new Travis has replaced him, which led to the murderous rampage. So lonely, so alienated...
I didn't see it like that. I always thought this scene represents his hypocrisy. He wants to clean the scumbags off the streets even though he's slowly becoming one of them hence "Youre talking to me? I'm the only one here."
@@canti7951 hyprocricy? Nah he was angry, but a good man in anger, the joker was mayyybe that, bc he got angry, but he didnt mind becoming worse person.
Up there with "You have to ask youself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do ya... Punk?" "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn" and "Go ahead make my day"
One of the most memorable scenes in the history of cinema and your comment is that he is "hot?" You're kidding me, right? One of the greatest acting performances of our time and your comment is that he is "hot" or was "hot." You people bring superficiality to another level.
I can’t believe I’m 23 and I’ve only just seen this film, in 2020. An absolute masterpiece. It’s also very weird seeing Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese so young, I’ve only ever seen them as old men.
I watched this film last night. I just turned 27 this month and oh boy, Deniro's character, Travis, resonated deep within me. I was dumped by my long time gf recently, lost my long time job last year, and the worst of all, not in speaking terms with my abusive parents. I'm well aware of my mental challenges but I occasionally meltdown silently. I don't want to become Travis but I understand him to the core.
samsonpker Sorry, wrong of language. Error, I wanted to say "He". I´m refer to Robert de Niro, he was hot at 30 - 40 years old, but now, like old mature man with 70, he continues with a some charming, old man charming!
aman gajraj However, De Niro's performance in Taxi Driver is my favorite acting performance of any actor, which is saying a lot. And Taxi Driver is what I usually say when somebody asks what my favorite movie is.
This is me. Literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like this. There is no way you can convince me this is not me. This character could not possibly be anymore me. lt's me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of this not possibly being me, then 1 immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that this character is me. This character is me, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that this character is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and this character side by side, you'd see no difference. I can safely look at this character every day and say "Yup, that's me". I can practically see this character every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how similar I look and act to this character. I chuckle softly as I'm assured everyday this character is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that l've found my identity with this character and I know my place in this world. It's really quite funny how similar this character is to me, it's almost like we're identical twins. When I first saw this character, I had an existential crisis What if this character was the real me and I was the fictional being. What if this character actual became aware of my existence? Did this character have the ability to become self aware itself?
Legend of a film. Watch it for yourself, and tell me how you would even start this review. Seriously an iconic movie, with a top-tier cast, soundtrack, and storyline. Saw this in the summer, and damn what a highlight. It's worth watching. And this will always remain legendary, just like Robert De Niro. So much action, emotion, and darkness. An extremely underrated film, that does not get its credit in modern times. 8.20.2020
He looked so much younger when he was so much younger.
Lizard Yeah he looked younger back then than he does now.
He looks older now than he did 40 years ago.

It's a classic scene. Robert De Niro is so good, i can't describe how good he is, it's just a great performance.

You know what cinema is kid? 🤣
He's so fine, damn.
Ha geyyyyy
"Listen up you screwheads..." Gets me everytime 😂
He was so damn handsome.
The greatest acting ever. None will ever come close.
No doubt
DeNiro’s performance in this film is in my Top 5 ever.
He was so damn handsome ir hurts
From the characters he played one can see that he wasn't vain, he didn't rely on his looks, but on hard work and talent.
Robert De Niro was a looker in his heyday. An eye candy.
He’s so finnnne 😍 this film is such a classic, De Niro is a total legend
0:52 when some girl in the class tries to talk with her friend who sits behind you.
“Here is someone who stood up.”
As he’s laying in bed. Wonderful.
By far, one of the most iconic scenes in film history.
Handsome Guy !
"You talkin' to me" was improvised by De Niro but you guys probably know that right ?
It's an acting exercise he learned in drama school.
He obviously inspired Michael J. Fox because he used part of this dialogue in Back to the Future III.
+Rawk4Life or Marty inspired Travis. BTTF3 takes place before lol
Technically yes. But, Taxi Driver was made 14 years prior to BTTF3 regardless of the time period setting.
Rawk4Life It's a joke man haha
I finally watched this film uncut and was completely blown away...DeNiro was absolutely epic ..
Yeah me too. I downloaded this movie alongwith subtitles. After this film, I watched cape fear (1991). after these 2 movies I have become an avid DeNiro'a fan. I just want to meet him someday if god helps me. BTW I am from India
***** then u know nothing abt movies, art. live in ur captain america trash
***** ok.
+Abz
Fully agree with you.
Key word: Was. Now he's just a Mook. DeNiro voted and endorsed Hillary Clinton.
This single scene is better than many movies
"You talking to me?"- Al Pacino, Raging Bull
Michael's dumbass 😂
Lmao
Who you calling a dumbass
I think Travis Bickle is symbolically fighting his "other" self. The first part involved him trying in vain to establish some connection. When he was rejected, the "other" side of him showed up because Travis thought he was destined to be lonely forever and would never be able to be "normal". At the end of this clip, you see his reflection("other" side) say "You're dead". It means the old Travis is no longer here, and the new Travis has replaced him, which led to the murderous rampage.
So lonely, so alienated...
I didn't see it like that. I always thought this scene represents his hypocrisy. He wants to clean the scumbags off the streets even though he's slowly becoming one of them hence "Youre talking to me? I'm the only one here."
@@canti7951 hyprocricy? Nah he was angry, but a good man in anger, the joker was mayyybe that, bc he got angry, but he didnt mind becoming worse person.
@@billihawk368 Travis is a good man? Wth are you saying?
0:52 pov: you have headphones on during a conversation
This movie is a classic!
"You talkin' to me?"
One of the most iconic lines in movie history. Well, this is very legendary performance from De Niro.
Up there with "You have to ask youself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do ya... Punk?" "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn" and "Go ahead make my day"

Oh my, he was so beautiful
Robert De Niro's acting is very natural in this scene 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of the most memorable scenes in the history of cinema and your comment is that he is "hot?" You're kidding me, right? One of the greatest acting performances of our time and your comment is that he is "hot" or was "hot." You people bring superficiality to another level.
21st century shitheads for you. What else do you expect?
People are just noticing his attractiveness but ok, act like you're better than most
James W you’re right
are you gonna cry about it
you're so whiny . you're not any better than them lol
I can’t believe I’m 23 and I’ve only just seen this film, in 2020. An absolute masterpiece. It’s also very weird seeing Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese so young, I’ve only ever seen them as old men.
I'm 28 and I've just seen it a couple days ago
23 is a good age to watch Taxi Driver. You will have a much harder time to understand or relate to the character if you're a child or teenager.
I watched this film last night. I just turned 27 this month and oh boy, Deniro's character, Travis, resonated deep within me. I was dumped by my long time gf recently, lost my long time job last year, and the worst of all, not in speaking terms with my abusive parents. I'm well aware of my mental challenges but I occasionally meltdown silently. I don't want to become Travis but I understand him to the core.
@@user-11Il10I1 hope you’re okay man. Sounds like a rough time, but you’ll get through it I’m sure 💪🏼
You are right. I am 15; I didn't like this move that much. I can't relate to character@@maythefuhrerofunderstandin9624
Amazing film. And imo, the greatest actor of all time.
One of the best movies ever made.Should have won best picture,best actor,best supporting actress.
damn he was so hot when he was younger!!
xxladybug94 She was 30 years old. Now she´s 70 years, but a mature Sr. with a some charming
samsonpker Sorry, wrong of language. Error, I wanted to say "He". I´m refer to Robert de Niro, he was hot at 30 - 40 years old, but now, like old mature man with 70, he continues with a some charming, old man charming!
xxladybug94 too bad he was only in 2 movies when he looked like in his 20s
RX7821979 He was 32 years old in Taxi Driver
Liberal 85 He said "looked" not "was"

One of my favorite movies. One of the best movies ever made. One of the most iconic scenes ever. One of the most iconic lines ever.
One word:
LEGENDARY.
Absolute brilliant acting.
Talented and supremely beautiful
"Hey Travis you're such a good dancer"
"Yeah but you know who isn't?"

I loved the colors of the film (red, green and yellow), the cinematography and the intense music. And Robert De Niro's eyes!
This clip alone contains possibly the greatest piece of acting ever .

We are all good looking went we are young, we get ugly went we get old around 50 years or more.

Same here! And I took my friend to see it!
15$ Was worth it!

Happy birthday to one of my all time favorite actors.
Who the fuck is your fav actor of all time then ?
Gregory Peck. De Niro is close though.
Strange.
aman gajraj However, De Niro's performance in Taxi Driver is my favorite acting performance of any actor, which is saying a lot. And Taxi Driver is what I usually say when somebody asks what my favorite movie is.
Same, My favorite movie of all time.
I forgot how hot Robert De Niro was when he was young
ye now he is hotter
It's no coincidence he starred in Heat.
@@YinzerSteel I don't get it...
@@Luca-bv5ic hot. heat.
@@chrisstgeorge3016 haha...yeah that's weak...
This is me. Literally me. No other character can
come close to relating to me like this. There is no
way you can convince me this is not me. This
character could not possibly be anymore me. lt's
me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If
anyone approached me on the topic of this not
possibly being me, then 1 immediately shut them
down with overwhelming evidence that this
character is me. This character is me, it is
indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that
this character is not me is beyond me. If you held
two pictures of me and this character side by
side, you'd see no difference. I can safely look at
this character every day and say "Yup, that's me". I
can practically see this character every time I look
at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people
stop me to comment how similar I look and act to
this character. I chuckle softly as I'm assured
everyday this character is me in every way. I can
smile each time I get out of bed every morning
knowing that l've found my identity with this
character and I know my place in this world. It's
really quite funny how similar this character is to
me, it's almost like we're identical twins. When I
first saw this character, I had an existential crisis
What if this character was the real me and I was
the fictional being. What if this character actual
became aware of my existence? Did this
character have the ability to become self aware
itself?
One of the most iconic scenes in cinema!
Masterpieces from Martin Scorsese
Remains as one of the most iconic scenes and my personal favourite
Legend of a film. Watch it for yourself, and tell me how you would even start this review. Seriously an iconic movie, with a top-tier cast, soundtrack, and storyline. Saw this in the summer, and damn what a highlight. It's worth watching. And this will always remain legendary, just like Robert De Niro. So much action, emotion, and darkness. An extremely underrated film, that does not get its credit in modern times. 8.20.2020
De Niro and Al Pacino when they were young were peak hotness
De Niro is on another level tho*^*
