Back when job interviewers asked you real simple questions and didn’t need a fucking college degree or years of experience just to have a low paying job
My friend told me this really funny joke. So his grandfather was applying for a diaper collecting job, back when they rinsed and returned them. To every question, the grandpa responds "money." Gets the job. I will add the marine connection is a big part of breaking down the barriers in this interaction presented in this scene.
An excellent character introduction. Tells us exactly what we need to know. Travis is a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran who apparently has PTSD, suffers from insomnia, is socially inept and can't fit in. He doesn't have much education.
What the heck? He didn't ask him his greatest weakness? Or about a time when he had a disagreement and how he resolved it?? How can you just hire someone without knowing where they see themselves in five years? 😤
Why are looking for this job?? Why did you leave previous job?? And of someone asks what's all this have to do with the role? It's all the lame "Human mindset" reason
In my first job site, I just said anytime anywhere and they accepted me, since records, etc are fulfilling. In low paying jobs some people prioritize availability and flexibility over qualification and experience
In Scarface 83, the woman playing Pacino's mother was only 7 yrs older than Pacino himself. I know they get started young in Latin countries, especially in past decades, but I don't even think they get started THAT young.
Pesci starts off at Henjry's age and when they move fwd to 1963, he aged about 50 yrs. The mob ages you exponentially, I guess, kinda like being the President.
@@killingmewillnotbringbacky9177 They are going to remake "A Bronx Tale" with De Niro playing the role of the dad, the role of Sonny, AND the role of C.
@@jimmybags6598 I think since Travis saw combat in Vietnam he was making a crack about that, and the war was not viewed very favorably by most Americans by then
Richard Santanna No kidding, if you want a job with a living wage nowadays you’ll spend at least half an hour with excrucitaingly long questions unless you’re an Uber or Lyft driver.
If he was around today I'd love to see the Travis Bickle linked in account. Travis would drive where no other Uber or Lyft drivers would go and as a matter of fact he'd insist on it
Marines connection got him in. Take not of the repeated phrases, "anytime, anywhere"..thatvwas a common statement from SOF/Gun for hires back in the day. They didn't give a Sheet and were numb from whatever made them that way.
17 years driving. My interview went like this. "Who the f are you? You got your chauffeur's license and paperwork? Yes. Do you know the town.? No. Ever drive cab before? No. Get in the cab you'll do fine
Joe spinelli ( sp?) Is such a good character actor & in some great films. Rocky gf1 & gf2 & taxi driver. That's some resume & he is memorable in everything. He was such a great friend to rocky, always there for him cheering him on at his matches & wanted him out of the old smelly gym to work at least on the docks to get fresh air. I also loved here right away when he related to travis he was also in the marines he instantly wants to give him a job & make sure hes taken care of. I love in gf2 when frankie says " cich abort"
Jesus Christ man, I was fifteen watching tv after midnight, hoping for this movie to start because Scorsese and DeNiro and their reputations were so good, and almost 5 or 7 years later I can say this movie blowed my mind and I couldn't watch a movie the same way I use to do it ever again.

@@thedirtiestbradfordbradfor6181 did a democrat piss in your cereal? Jesus H Christ dude he just asked a question and you showed a dozen or so red flags. Get a grip.
Joe Spinell Always like this unlikeable guy. He was Gazzo in Rocky and had parts in The Godfather. Died a sad death after a sad life. Reminded me of a boss when I was young. Who also came across as a wise guy hood, but basically a good guy. Good actor.
I saw this movie as kid. Skipped a day of school and went to the cinema. We sneaked in. We were age 15. Went with my best friend who is now dead. He was burnt to death in warehouse fire. I'll be 60 this year.
Remember when job interviews were like that? Today in England you need a CITB cert then you need a CSCS card and that's before you even get fuckin near to the job. It's all hoop jumpin bullshit.
OMG did Scorsese write this ? When I was a kid back in 75 There was a kid name Bickle l called him pickle . Good thing I moved before he seen this flick . Let me just speak on Fate for a minute. Bickel got his revenge Twenty years later my wife left me and moved into the trailer park were Bickle and I lived . No bullshit.

Truth.
if travis narration wasnt lying, he did make good money. 350 (in 1976) in a week.
No credit check, no references, no going online to apply and have to make a damn password and username for each job you apply for. Yes. Good days.

@@tylerrobinson5490Sorry, sir. He didn't mean that.
The moment he said he was a marine he got the job
I had that feeling. Up to that point the interviewer seemed to think he was trying to be funny.
Love movies. Here he's about 32 or 33 playing a 26. In Goodfellas, he's 47 playing a 28. And that Goodfellas scene still worked.
and in the irishman he's like 80 but he's playing like 21. It totally worked and it definitely did not look ridiculous.
In Scarface 83, the woman playing Pacino's mother was only 7 yrs older than Pacino himself. I know they get started young in Latin countries, especially in past decades, but I don't even think they get started THAT young.

Quickest job interview ever.
I wish they were all like this
As soon as he heard he was a fellow marine it was over
My first job interview consisted of "You lookin' for a job?" when the manager saw I had a application in my hand.
Richard Santanna No kidding, if you want a job with a living wage nowadays you’ll spend at least half an hour with excrucitaingly long questions unless you’re an Uber or Lyft driver.
I’ve had some that took about 2 minutes, he asked me when I could work and if I graduated then offered the job. It was at a car wash in 1977
If he was around today I'd love to see the Travis Bickle linked in account. Travis would drive where no other Uber or Lyft drivers would go and as a matter of fact he'd insist on it
Would actually be interesting to see a modern Travis as a uber/lyft driver and having to deal with all the bullshit modern society has to offer.
Bickle was 26 in this film. I'd be surprised if he lived to see 29.
Anytime, anywhere
The feds really took care of Willie Cicci didn't they? Got him a gig running a cab stand right on Corleone turf.
he didn't know that Travis was gonna push a button
@@harveyd3175 A lot of buffers in NY in those days
In this interview you get to know about Travis. Great intro to the character. This movie may be the greatest movie ever .
"Will you work on Jewish holidays?" 😆🤣😂
"Bust my chops" "Take it on the arches" Yeah, 23 skidoo, Mack!
Lol
“I just wanna work long hours.” That line stuck with me.
A man so alieneted and down on his luck.
Can't believe Joe Spinell was there and he was in Rocky, Godfather 1 and 2 and Maniac
"I told youse to break the guy's thumb. Next time I tell you to do something, you do it!"
Spinnel was a close friend of Spielberg
Hey Rock Renember that guy!!😉😆👍🤘🇺🇸🇮🇹
Spinell was Gazo mafioso in Rocky! " You should fight again Rock"!!💪🥊🥊🇺🇸🇮🇹
Marines connection got him in. Take not of the repeated phrases, "anytime, anywhere"..thatvwas a common statement from SOF/Gun for hires back in the day. They didn't give a Sheet and were numb from whatever made them that way.
Lol imagine Travis turning up to interview at your work place 🤣
17 years driving. My interview went like this. "Who the f are you? You got your chauffeur's license and paperwork? Yes. Do you know the town.? No. Ever drive cab before? No. Get in the cab you'll do fine
Gazzo from Rocky 😊😊😊😉
Was wondering where that face was from!
And Willie Cicci in the Godfather I and II.
@@Arbatov "We had a lot of buffers."
The late great Joe Spinell. He was also good in the extremely disturbing slasher movie Maniac (1980).
Holy shit, I've seen this movie and The Godfather Trilogies a billion times and never realized this is Willie Cici!!!
"What's moonlighting?"
Mac Urban it's working a second job

An awful show with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepard, who was in this movie weirdly enough.

What about Jewish holidays?
@@andyw5962 any comment any year
Dude who interviews him played in Godfather 1 and 2 and was in the first 3 Rockys as Stallones friend.
Joe Spinell always seemed to find himself getting small parts in great movies (Taxi Driver, Rocky, The Godfather, Brubaker, and Cruising).
Nighthawks as well
@@methus57 Paradise Alley too, very underrated IMO.
did he play a gangster in rocky for whom balboa collected money ?
@@vijayiyer8518 Yes, he played "Gazzo". Spinell was a great character actor who unfortunately died at the relatively young age of 52.

The guy interviewing Bickle was the same guy who paid Rocky Balboa to break thumbs. He was the one who was moonlighting 😂
0:00... - Is he coming up from the depths of hell?
Rayoscope nice one
New York streets, close enough
Hahahaha good one
On the commentary Martin Scorsese said that’s exactly what it’s supposed to look like. Travis coming out of hell
Great into to his character. Tells us so much quickly.
“Anytime anywhere”
“There’s porno theaters for that”... Funny! Ironically, Joe Spinell was married to a porn star in real life.
What a bright, enterprising young man you are. You're hired!
Nailed it
1:52 - It's a hit TV show your co-star Cybill Shepherd will be the star of in about ten years.
