Taxi Driver: Travis asks out Betsy HD CLIP

What’s happening in this Taxi Driver movie clip?
Travis (Robert De Niro, who also starred in The Irishman and the Goodfellas) enters the headquarters of one of the presidential candidates, Palantine, and offers his services there. At his demand, it is Betsy (Cybill Shepherd who also played in Clair de Lune and The Last Session) who takes his request, and very quickly we realize that he is not there for the potential future president, but rather to ask Betsy to have coffee with him, which she ends up agreeing to after a big speech from Travis.

Travis sees what he wants and just goes for it, this type of confidence is very appealing to a woman, and extremely hostile to a competing male with a weak self confidence. It eats at him watching her getting wowed in seconds, while he has probably spent weeks trying to get her himself. He suffers, and going forth and back like that is his last resort of trying to be seen. To no avail.

Travis took a massive risk with this approach but Betsy seemed to like it. She was attracted to him and probably liked his directness and honesty. Such a shame what happened on their second date. It all came crashing down due to Travis’ total obliviousness to his own hypocrisy and social norms. They would’ve made a good couple and it would’ve saved Travis’ life.

[@tc98826]

But... if Travis was more aware of social norms and more self-aware + self-conscious would he have had the raw confidence to approach her in this way? It seems like Betsy is attracted to Travis's enigmatic personality, he's original and different to the kinds of people in her social circle - college-educated types who Travis correctly deduces she is bored by. Seems like what drew her to him also pushed her away.

The answer is in your question my dude. He just doesn't thinks, he goes and grabs what he wants. He is a seeker. Thinking oftens leads nowhere and stucks you for naught.

[@brianm2881]

I don't think it's a big mystery. Travis is mentally ill and out of touch with reality. He has possible PTSD and insomnia and spends nights driving a cab and living in his own head. He knows the kind of things normal people do in order to be happy, and he wants to be normal and happy, but his mental state sabotages his attempts to do this. He puts the pieces together all wrong. The film hints that he spends a lot of time at that theatre when off work, so he may well have lost sight of the fact that it's a really sleazy place to bring a date, especially a girl like Betsy who any halfway sane person could instantly tell wouldn't be caught dead there. So, it isn't that Travis didn't spend the time to think of where to take Betsy. It's that to him the choice was obvious already.

[@fergusmckee]

The camera work here is so impressive. See how travis slowly zooms out as he goes into his ‘true self’, implying his alienation. The framing is static on Betsy implying she is unsure or ambivalent . She is flattered to be asked out, but Travis is painted as a fish out of water.

Do it without any shame or second thoughts because you're a person who's trying to be kind and gracious to others while becoming a better version of yourself.

[@kevsta67]

yup. no over the top special effects ,computer animation or other b.s. just cold hard emotion and great casting done to make the actors have a chemistry with each other.......... the arts reflects the times which is why the music and the movies from the 70's runs circles around anything that is made in the 2000's

Cybil Shepherd was stunning in this movie.

Idk, most women are attractive at around 25 years old. Women have a problem they think it lasts forever because men keep going around saying stuff like this too much all the time.

Awesome movie. One of my favorite Deniro movies! That confidence can split hairs!

[@steverogers7601]

If she gives you that look and response at 1:18, and hasn’t rejected you, don’t screw it up! Don’t try to make jokes, don’t try to be funny, don’t try to be Rico suave. Just be direct, state your intent, say what you want to do, and provide a plan. If you hate women and don’t like that you have to come up with a plan, go get therapy because you’re gonna have a bad time.

Travis Bickle Rizz

[@leeashford2259]

This is a great scene. Travis approach here is spot on. A mix of confidence and vulnerability. Taxi driver may be my favourite film ever but when I watch it I always forward the part where he takes her to the porn film as I find it hard to watch. When I found out the scene when he phones her that scorecese moved the camera away from Travis as it was hard for the audience to watch him failing, I was blown away. Shows what a master scorcese is

[@jorgezarco9269]

Robert DeNiro is a great actor. He was so funny in Meet the Parents.

[@alxrchn]

This movie totally changed my being, because of Travis I’m not afraid being confident in everything I do

Can you blame Travis for wanting to go out with Super god looking Betsy. But things went not so great.

Ironically De Niro actually asked out Cybill Shepherd in real life. She turned him down and after that they’d only interact in their shared scenes. Years later she admitted she regretted saying no

I love the pov tracking shot in the first five seconds. I think people forget how cinematically revolutionary this was. So much so that the DOP Michael Chapman was contesting each and every shot composition with Scorsese( DOPs tend to be rather conservative)

Cybil Shepherd was quite a dish back in the day. De Niro was pretty handsome himself. I think it was IMDB that noted that De Niro asked Shepherd out sometime during filming. She turned him down but regretted the decision later. Oh, the rollercoaster of young love.
