'That fella you work with, i don't like him. Well its not that i don't like him...i just think he's silly' is one of the most underrated funniest lines ever to me lmao...like being silly is the worst possible thing someone can be to Travis 😂
Yeah now that I think about it.... that's pretty badass 😂 he said it like he definitely has not one single ounce of pussy or clown or softness in his soul 😂😂😂😂 it was a deeper quote than a soft person would ever think up to say to someone
There's plenty of people who believe the last section, after the shootout, was a fantasy in Travis's head as he lay dying on the sofa. Also this movie was made a long, long time before terms like ''incel'' were thought of, so you have to consider that. It was a groundbreaking and brutal study of what being an outsider can be, and how it can impact someone. It's not a pleasant experience to be in Travis's head or to follow Travis, but it's kinda real and raw. It's almost a horror film, more than a drama.
The term "incel" is just a modern description for a very specific kind of behavior than has been around for decades. Travis is the OG incel. A lot of people see this as a story about a disturbed man who finds redemption, but I don't think so. That last paranoid glance in the rearview coupled with the distorted score just before the credits illustrate that he's still fucked up and will act on these impulses again. Next time he does, what are the odds it'll be the "right" people?
@@Buttsley1 Right. He failed to kill the father figure of a blonde he was obsessed with and so he felt compelled to kill another father figure of a blonde he was obsessed with.
I think that "theory" was developed by people who hated what they see as a forced happy ending but don't understand that Scorcese is not an oblique filmmaker, who uses riddles or hints. If the director wanted it to be only the fantasy of a dying man he wouldn't be coy. When asked on the website Reddit about the film's ending, the film's writer, Paul Schrader said that it was not to be taken as a dream sequence but that he envisioned it as returning to the beginning of the film, as if the last frame "could be spliced to the first frame, and the movie started all over again."
Yoo Thanks again for doing this! This is the ultimate character study. A true masterpiece from Martin Scorsese. One of my favorite De Niro performances. Much love homies! Have some more heat coming next week! 3/3 for the record.
Tremendous movie. Bralik is right with De Niro being in some rough movies as of late. All of his movies with Scorsese are essential viewing for "film lovers" imo (and especially you guys who clearly have a love for mob culture portrayed in TV and movies). I'd seriously consider reacting to a lot of the heavy hitters with De Niro like Mean Streets and Raging Bull even the Irishman despite some of its flaws. And honestly re- reacting to Goodfellas and Casino if you haven't watched them in awhile. Especially Casino imo since it seems to get overlooked due to Goodfellas impact . As stated above De Niro has been in some doo doo lately but in a total different genre, another amazing film staring De Niro is The Deer Hunter. Features one of the most intense scenes in film history
He also says a lot of dumb things in public lately, but not even that can detract from his immovable classic films like Raging Bull/Casino/King of Comedy.
Imo the only flaw with the Irishman is the deaging stuff, but even then I cant see it working any other way. I’ve seen people suggest that they should have had a different actor for younger frank but I just don’t think anybody else could have done it like De Niro
This is one of those movies where you can interpret in many ways. The way I see it, is mostly about what loneliness can do to a person. In this case, I feel Travis loneliness got him to do it some crazy stuff but is also a commentary about how society sometimes is fucked up sometimes.
That was director Martin Scorsese playing “the passenger” talking about shooting his cheating wife with a .44 Magnum…through binging your Sopranos reactions you guys have become some of my favorite reactors because you’re actually real intellectuals able to provide deep thoughtful commentary even when you don’t love something. Keep up the good work!
I’m glad you guys are watching this. Straight Classic. Bralik in response to your comment at the beginning DeNiro is one of the best to ever do it. He got so much classics and great performances in his bag from the 70s-90s.
About the guy in the taxi talking about killing his wife (played by Director Martin Scorsese)... He didn't actually plan on going through with it. This is a guy who is actually a weakling, and fantasies about doing it, but can't. However he needs to tell someone he plans to do it so he can feel empowered, but knows that his friends would just laugh at him and tell him he's full of it because he isn't a killer. So he picks a total stranger to tell. Someone who doesn't know any better. That's why he demands that Travis not write anything- he wants Travis' undivided attention. Also why he constantly asks what Travis thinks about what he's saying- he wants to hear a reaction. The problem is Travis truly *is* dangerous and is going to get the wrong message, as Travis *can* be that cold blooded killer.

Jodie Foster was only 13 when she made this film, and it wasn't even her first one! I would recommend "The Deer Hunter" (1978) not only for DeNiro's performance but also for amazing acting by Meryl Streep and Christopher Walken. It's about the war in Vietnam and its impact on a working class community.
Bugsy Malone was class - cant see them showing it now. - 🎼 you know you’re going to be be remembered for the things you say and do. You give a little love and it all comes back to you 🎼
The movie Mean Streets was the first collaboration to Scorsese and Deniro. Deniro acts crazy in that one too. This was definitely a movie of its time and one that is hard to forget. "You looking at me?"
If you watch the 'The Joker' with Joaquin Phoenix you'll see the influence this movie had - ALSO AND MORE SO - the movie 'The King Of Comedy' another DeNero, Scorsese collab.
Great movie selection, guys. There's really no way to be sure if what we see after the shootout is real. On the one hand, it simply makes no sense that Travis would be back to driving a cab like normal as before after something like that. Even if he survived he would be in jail or the crazy house. That ending is also a little too on the nose as to what Travis would want his ending to be, complete with Cybill Shepard quietly admiring him from the back seat of the car. Travis is deranged, and would think that his actions would result in everyone who disregarded him before seeing him in a new light, or the ideal, righteous person he sees himself as. Reality of course would be different, and they'd only see his actions as reinforcement of their earlier assessment of him being absolutely nuts. On the other hand, it could make narrative sense because one of the main overall themes of the story is how Travis' mental state caused him to be precariously close to violence, and that violence could have easily been taken out on the senator had he drawn his gun faster or not been noticed as quickly at that political rally. Instead, he regroups and goes after the pimps, which would make him look more like a Punisher anti hero type instead of just another deranged assassin. But it was very close to going another way, and as a result of how it went down, the media treats him as a hero instead of the dangerous lunatic he is.
Had seen this n VHS as a teen, but my local multiplex put it on earlier this year - magic performance. Even as a little kid in Dublin, Ireland, knew NY was a mess in the 70s.
53:11 it was the era of the underdog, the misunderstood, the disenfranchised-holden caufield and catcher in the rye, mark david chapman shooting lennon, john hinkley jr. shooting reagan (which he blamed on foster’s character in taxi driver)-all of this against the background of 70s new york city, at its lowest point in history. i feel like you guys should have watched Midnight Cowboy first, a film about repression and isolation, also in new york, in the late 60s. don’t worry about feeling ambivalent-THIS IS A DEPRESSING FILM! you guys have too much marvel on the brain.
You should check out A Clockwork Orange…another 1970’s classic about a main character that is at odds with society…and you have to fight with yourself to not identify with and root for, even though he is a total sociopath….played fantastically by Malcolm MacDowell and directed by Stanley Kubrick. A totally groundbreaking, controversial and intense masterpiece of the ‘70’s.
At the very end, when the music goes off key, and he does a double take while quickly adjusting the rear view mirror, it’s a hint that his inner demons and paranoia still exists, and is only pushed down.
It's interesting ya'll bringing up Heat and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood being wild then this being different or underwhelming, to me those 2 movies are kinda cheesy and generic 'entertainment' movies which is personally pretty boring to me but a realistic character study with a gritty immersive atmosphere that makes you feel a certain mood and feeling like this that also influenced countless things after, is far more interesting and meaningful than a typical movie. Not trying to be patronizing and say one is right or wrong or anything, i actually enjoy watching reactions to see other peoples perspectives but this is just my perspective and some explanation of why this movie is so highly revered and respected. Def not like a fun or entertaining movie persay so i can understand your feelings on it from a first reaction. Always appreciate your guys thoughts and breakdowns, salute.
Also crazy how NYC looked like and was like this during filming. Kinda turning back into that in some ways. But shi like this movie, Warriors, French Connection, Death Wish show how gritty and (for lack of better terms) 3rd worldish it was..
This film , for some reason, inspired John Hinckley to try and assassinate then President Ronald Reagan in order to impress Jodie Foster. He's on parole, but being closely monitored.
Thanks for the reaction, guys. This film is a masterpiece. One of the greatest films ever made for sure. You guys should watch After Hours. It’s another great Scorsese, back when he was making truly edgy films like this one. It’s a completely different animal from this film, but strangely a good companion. It’s also one of his great masterpieces, imo. And for another great De Niro performance, The King of Comedy.
Hey lads, could you check out a movie called bad lieutenant 1992. Probably my favorite film of all time. If you thought Harvey Keitel was a scumbag in this, he elevates to a whole different level l. 🇮🇪👍
I liked watching Heat with you you just can’t miss with Heat. Taxi Driver is another one that is infinitely re-watchable and I love introducing people to it. You guys are also smart and entertaining and have good taste
Before I forget I still gotta catch up on the sopranos reactions but when y'all are done with the show are yall gonna watch the sopranos movie "Many saints of Newark"?
When I first saw this when he was in the diner talking about how he didn't like ol boy I was dying inside because it was so awkward and giving red flags lol
It’s a REACTION channel, they react as they watch the movie. They are not able to show the movie fully regardless because of copyright. What don’t you understand about these type channels. They all do this.
The secret service guy noticing Travis reaching for his gun completely flipped Travis's life purpose. He would've been another political nutjob in the history books -- but then by settling for the local pimps instead he became a hero.
The Mohawk was worn in Vietnam by American soldiers like the Navajo Indians used to west before going into combat. They were paying homage to the American Native Indians. So that’s why Deniro wore it. He was going to combat
Travis was having problems sleeping, he had been in Vietnam, he had PTSD and with no sleep, he was going off the deep end, actually, the hospital stay probably cured him, sleep depravation is why Meth heads act so crazy. This was Martin's attempt to have people look at those vets with more sympathy. Martin was the idiot in the back of the cab talking about killing his wife. I'm pretty sure this in on most top 50 all times movies, but for me, after the first viewing, the shock value plummets and its not near as good the 3rd time you watch it. But one needs to watch it twice to see all the things they missed.
"All the junkies, they know my name And every city looks the fucking same And the derelicts who roam the streets are all the same And the scum surfaces up, and there's no one to fucking blame: Game over, its no fun Got me on the run I'm gonna go get my gun Blam blam blam, you're done" - 'Travis Bickle', Rancid
At the time in the 1970s, people did see 'X" content as couples like Deep Throat, Behind the Green Door, and I Am Curious (Yellow). Jodie Foster would later attend and graduate from Yale undergraduate and Doctoral degree and get Two Oscars(The Accused, The Silence of the Lambs). She was chilling in The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane and The Brave One. Travis cabbie friend(Peter Boyle) would play in Everybody Loves Raymond as the dad and Young Frankenstein. Cybil Sheppard was a model but later acted in other film and tv projects like Moonlighting with Bruce Willis. Albert Brooks(Tom the campaign worker) was Oscar nominated for Broadcast News. The pimp Harvey Keitel was in Sister Act and Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. Remember at the time, there were no VHS/DVDs/Blu Rays, Streaming, On Demand, or Rentals so the ONLY way to see Adult films was the theater. "You talkin' to me?" is the most famous line of Taxi Driver.

Silly was a medical term back then.
The great thing about this film is how different you feel about it depending on the stage of your life.
So true!

@@JacobCorenthoseexactly. The only reason he killed sport and the others is because his plan to kill palantine was spoiled

No cap the best time to watch this is alone at like 3 am. It really helps bring out the loneliness and isolation.
Big facts
Reason i dropped it at midnight, couldn't agree more
lmao if you relate to Travis you gotta be a loser man
Fun Fact: Shorty who was working the concession stand at the Porn Theater in the beginning of the movie was actually dating De Nero at that time.
She’s in other De niro/scorsese films too Mean streets and the king of comedy
her name is Diahnne Abbott
One of the greatest films ever made, a true perfectly made masterpiece.
Yoo Thanks again for doing this! This is the ultimate character study. A true masterpiece from Martin Scorsese. One of my favorite De Niro performances. Much love homies! Have some more heat coming next week! 3/3 for the record.

Totally unexpected let's go!!
An anti-social misanthrope incel becomes an unlikely hero! Taxi Driver was ahead of it's time!

It was made when directors were still about art before box office.
I love Christopher Walken as an actor. Effortlessly crazy in True Romance; A View to a Kill; The Dead Zone; etc.
Taxi Driver was filmed in the summer of 1975. Jodie Foster was twelve years old.

Always delivering bangers, even on new year
At the very end, when the music goes off key, and he does a double take while quickly adjusting the rear view mirror, it’s a hint that his inner demons and paranoia still exists, and is only pushed down.
BTW the guy that DeNero shot in the stomach (his 1st kill) was the legendary Harvey Keitel
Midnight Run with Robert Dinero & Charles Groden was great too.
You guys should check out Good Time (2017). Scorsese is a producer on it.
It's interesting ya'll bringing up Heat and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood being wild then this being different or underwhelming, to me those 2 movies are kinda cheesy and generic 'entertainment' movies which is personally pretty boring to me but a realistic character study with a gritty immersive atmosphere that makes you feel a certain mood and feeling like this that also influenced countless things after, is far more interesting and meaningful than a typical movie.

definitely one of those "I need a shower after this" movies haha. A masterpiece though.
great reaction again lads ❤ the guy in the taxi with the cheating wife always freaks me out 😂
Love this movie.
The gun dealer scene is so incredibly well made. Just a feel of complete unease.
Also, the mohawk reveal scene goes so HARD.
Clockwork orange Next
Viddy well
I’ve always thought the point of this movie is that how an bad society can mold refined evil through unfortunate people like Travis
Also crazy how NYC looked like and was like this during filming. Kinda turning back into that in some ways.
But shi like this movie, Warriors, French Connection, Death Wish show how gritty and (for lack of better terms) 3rd worldish it was..
starting 2024 off strong boys and youtube getting sopranos finale this month
💪🏾💪🏾
these two make Cheech and Chong look like Woodward and Bernstein
Go Dexter reaction man’s
08:26 I just noticed Scorcese sitting and watcing her as she enters the building.
U didn't show it at the end when he does the double take in the mirror. Showing that he aint over shit
This film , for some reason, inspired John Hinckley to try and assassinate then President Ronald Reagan in order to impress Jodie Foster. He's on parole, but being closely monitored.
The reason is that Hinckley was crazy and people tried to blame Scorsese for that bullshit as if he had any control over some dude being crazy.
@@vincentdawn9689 Scorcese touched a raw nerve with this film, back then. People didn't know how to handle it . I felt bad for Jodie Foster. Scary!
Take it on the arches means “Take a walk”.
makes perfect sense!
Kinda like Arthur Fleck, huh?😎
All time classic.
Thanks for the reaction, guys. This film is a masterpiece. One of the greatest films ever made for sure. You guys should watch After Hours.

It IS different..........it's ART!!!!!IS

Wow
I never knew till now, that guy in restaurant was Frank from "Everybody Loves Raymond"
😂 Same baldy hair style
This and Raging Bull, my favorite Scorsese films, masterpieces imo.
Excellent modern film noire, intense and memorable.
When it comes time to watching LOTR and the sequels, by all means DO watch the extended versions.
I liked watching Heat with you you just can’t miss with Heat. Taxi Driver is another one that is infinitely re-watchable and I love introducing people to it. You guys are also smart and entertaining and have good taste
I drove taxi in NYC for a summer. Saw some interesting people.
This movie makes me feel like I need to shower. Dirty, dark, 1970s NYC.
Before I forget I still gotta catch up on the sopranos reactions but when y'all are done with the show are yall gonna watch the sopranos movie "Many saints of Newark"?
top 3 movies ever , but u will never touch this for sure rookies. hermann maybe a et lol......

Alright lads. I havnt seen this film in ages...but one thing i just realised was the guy in the taxi who wanted to kill his wife was Marty Scorsese.

But one needs to watch it twice to see all the things they missed.
"All the junkies, they know my name
And every city looks the fucking same
And the derelicts who roam the streets are all the same
And the scum surfaces up, and there's no one to fucking blame:
Game over, its no fun
Got me on the run
I'm gonna go get my gun
Blam blam blam, you're done"
- 'Travis Bickle', Rancid
There wasn't anything else like this at that time
The woman in the show and tell is de niros wife and Jodie Foster's older sister played the more adult scenes.
At the time in the 1970s, people did see 'X" content as couples like Deep Throat, Behind the Green Door, and I Am Curious (Yellow). Jodie Foster would later attend and graduate from Yale undergraduate and Doctoral degree and get Two Oscars(The Accused, The Silence of the Lambs). She was chilling in The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane and The Brave One. Travis cabbie friend(Peter Boyle) would play in Everybody Loves Raymond as the dad and Young Frankenstein. Cybil Sheppard was a model but later acted in other film and tv projects like Moonlighting with Bruce Willis. Albert Brooks(Tom the campaign worker) was Oscar nominated for Broadcast News. The pimp Harvey Keitel was in Sister Act and Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. Remember at the time, there were no VHS/DVDs/Blu Rays, Streaming, On Demand, or Rentals so the ONLY way to see Adult films was the theater. "You talkin' to me?" is the most famous line of Taxi Driver.
