Taxi Driver (8/8) Movie CLIP - Travis Is a Hero (1976) HD

[@McLarenMercedes]

To all you thinking this ending was just a dying dream of his. Martin Scorsese made the ultimate plot twist and the underlying message that society has just turned Travis Bickle into a hero because he shot a pimp who abused an underage girl. That's the ultimate irony. It's actually far more brilliant than Bickle simply dying. Had it really been a dying dream of Travis Bickle's it would have been over-the-top and he'd walk scot free and have everybody shake his hand for his contribution to society.

[@chesterwestonham5961]

@@fromthe3128 Good point about the hair, I never noticed that. I did notice however that in this clip when Travis drives to what I'm assuming is Betsy's house, he is never told the address. Maybe it is just assumed that she told him off camera, but if the didn't then it's just not believable. If Travis had known where she lived earlier in the film then he would have went to her house instead of calling her repeatedly and getting mad. I hope I explained this correctly. What do you think about that? Edit: Ok just realized that Travis dropping Betsy off is not in this clip. Why would they cut that out.

[@rjplamf61]

the irony of the whole movie is that Travis goes from being a crazed assassin to hero. The ending is what it is. When he is about to kill the politician, he barely gets away, runs back to his apartment, and proceeds to shoot the pimp and saves the prostitute. Lunatic to hero vigilante. That's just how I have always interpreted the film.

[@rememberDay1]

a real hero would have killed the politician and died on the spot

[@salvadorsalazar9409]

@@rememberDay1 He's still a lunatic, except only we (the watchers) know this. The ending isn't actually a "happy" one, its a tragedy because YOU know that Travis is a nut who wanted to blow someone's head off, and he got lucky that it was the pimp instead of the senator like he originally planned. YOU know this isn't the last time he's going to kill. That's why the glockenspiel note at the end of the movie is literally reversed. He's rewinding to the start of the movie and he's a time bomb waiting to blow up again. The clock has started ticking again. And the irony is that people suddenly think he's a swell guy, a hero, just because he blew up at the "right" person this time. Next time he probably won't, and the public will wonder why.

herakleitus I've seen movies like this where there telling something and have a paper written with stuff in front of the camera knowing the person is gonna pause it and read it that's where the real truth is

[@michaelcolello2735]

Army? Travis was a marine. "I was in the marines too ..." said foreman Willie Cici

[@archerj.maggott1372]

It doesn't necessarily imply any delusion on the part of Travis. It says, "Travis Bickle, 26, has been a hack driver for the past six months since he came to New York upon leaving the Service where he fought in a special forces unit in Viet Nam, it was learned from the president of the taxi garage where he worked out of." 'The Service' can mean any of the main branches of the armed forces, although it was stated earlier in the movie that Travis had been in the Marines, and while 'special forces' properly refers to the US Army Special Forces -- which is colloquially known as the 'green berets' -- it is also commonly used in the media to refer to any special operations force. 'Special operations' can be a loose term as well, and since the US Special Operations Command has only existed since 1987, it would have been an even looser used term in the 1970s. 'Special' units also have lots of billets that aren't filled by commandos, such as a clerks, armorers, mechanics, medics, etc. News writers also like to use language that doesn't necessarily tell the entire tedious story in granular fashion, but which is broadly accurate, conveys a clear image and is easy to understand.

[@norm3844]

Being an Englishman, looking from an outsiders viewpoint, I have always imagined New York City to be a sophisticated, upscale kinda place, where everything is larger than life. From its skyscrapers that reach to heaven (almost), traffic that dwarfs anything on the English roads. The cuisine, multi cultural and abundant.New York's inhabitants are blue collar, hard working types with a strong sense of family ties and loyalty. The sophisticated, competitive, well educated types, who move light years ahead of me, with their schemes and dreams. Yet within New York and all great cities throughout the world, lies a seedy and evil underbelly, that caters to mans more debased needs. Its enlightening to watch a movie that doesnt hide behind any facade.

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." -- Thomas Wolfe, from the essay, God's Lonely Man, privately printed, 1947.

It's not a dream sequence you people, De Niro and Scorsese both have said it isn't ''In an interview with The Guardian, De Niro mentioned how he wanted to make a sequel to Taxi Driver, indicating his belief that Travis is very much alive. And in a Reddit AMA, screenwriter Paul Schrader explained, “The epilogue is not a dream sequence….”.'' ''But what does Martin Scorsese have to say about the ending? Well, according to the director, Travis survived the shoot-out…and chances are good he’s going to erupt again. In the last seconds of the film, Travis looks into his rearview mirror and sees his own wild eyes looking back. We get one last glimpse of his insanity, churning under the surface, and there’s suddenly a harsh, strange note on the soundtrack as Travis adjusts his mirror and looks away from his reflection. According to Scorsese, “I decided I’d put something on that shows that the timer in Travis starts to tick again, the bomb that’s about to explode again.”.''

I think this may be real, along with the scene in the taxi, it adds another twist to an already twisted movie.

This idea is far from dead, look at Walter White in Breaking Bad.

This movie is an in and out classic which can never be bested. It has that something special about it. It makes you uncomfortable for some reasons.

[@WisteriaNerium]

Those who say this is a dream sequence miss the point of the ending, just watch and think of the last shoot of the movie, the one where Travis looks himself at the mirror and think what does that means, I know what it means but I want to see what you think before I share my thoughts.

The ending is open for interpretation

Martin's finest

but that's not De Niro in the newspaper as Travis, is it? What if he just imagines and wishes it was him who saved the girl?

[@RikerLovesWorf]

I love how stilted and awkward the letter is read. It's almost as if the parents know the reality but cannot say what they understand - Travis is no hero, he's a creep who saved their daughter because of his own ego, and their daughter was willingly turning tricks and not truly kidnapped.

Can murder define morality? Are you a hero for killing this person or a villain for killing that person?

Taxi Driver Bizzare Shooting

I wish the newspaper would have been bigger and underneath Bickle's article was one headlined, "Man who had nuclear device in garage claims he bought it for 2000 dollars."

Interesting that we never know what caused Iris to run away in the first place. Maybe things weren't so great at home to begin with, and now she's back there.
