Taxi Driver won our New York City poll... I loved seeing Robert De Niro in this roll after just watching The Godfather Part II! fascinating to see his skill across these different stories!

That ending did seem a little too good to be true, didn’t it? Iris goes back home and to school, her parents are grateful to him, he doesn’t go to prison for murdering a bunch of people, he’s a hero in the papers, he’s back at his job driving a cab and Betsy gets into it and smiles adoringly at him. Too good to be true. His hair grew out from a Mohawk to a regular cut rather quickly too.

Thanks for your great reaction! I've watched "Taxi Driver" a bunch of times over the years and now I pay more attention to the supporting roles of the actors like Albert Brooks, Cybill Shepherd, Peter Boyle, and others. In 2003, Jodie Foster was one of the emcees for the AFI Life Achievement Award presented to Robert De Niro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXOoKgmpEiU In more recent years, she has further expounded on what she learned from De Niro on the set of "Taxi Driver" about the craft of acting.

hahaha I’d like to believe it was his imagination at least! 😫

Fun fact, De Niro improvised the "you talking to me?" Scene.

The musical score was done by Bernard Herrmann, who is famous for doing a lot of Hitchcock movies (Psycho, Vertigo, North by Northwest and more). This was Herrmann's final score before he died. And his first musical score was for 1941's Citizen Kane.

I’ve seen Taxi Driver a couples times. But its scenes have become so iconic and have been shown so frequently, that I’ve almost become desensitized to them. So it’s good to be reminded about how disturbing it is. (Perhaps you know this, but in case you don’t: The guy who shot and wounded President Reagan in 1981 was obsessed with Jodie Foster and had seen Taxi Driver numerous times.) Ok, here I go again with the long list of tidbits: —Scorsese’s 1973 gangster movie Mean Streets, starring Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel, put him on the map. But he really distinguished himself with the movie he made just before Taxi Driver. Because of The Exorcist's impending success, actress Ellen Burstyn was given the clout to make a movie of her choice. She wanted to do an authentic movie about a woman with a “new and exciting” director. She sought advice from Francis Ford Coppola, who recommended Scorsese. The result was the 1974 film Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, about a widowed mom and her preteen son hitting the road to pursue her dreams…Here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8jV98slav8

 Alice was a hit and earned 3 Oscar nominations. Ellen Burstyn won for Best Actress. Diane Ladd, Laura Dern’s mom, was nominated for supporting actress. (Laura Dern appeared as an extra in the movie at age 7.) Here’s Scorsese accepting Burstyn’s Oscar on her behalf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-wRzEoMqJg Burstyn talks about hiring Scorsese and asking him whether he was capable of directing a movie about a woman in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLgyLd6Fzqg 
 Scorsese also cast 11-year-old Jodie Foster, who played the mischievous friend of Burstyn’s character’s son: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8-zKD047ic In 1976, CBS turned Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore into a sitcom titled Alice. It was also a hit, running for 202 episodes through 1985 and spawning a spinoff. —Jodie Foster was actually 12 when she made Taxi Driver. She was born in November 1962. Taxi Driver filmed from June through August 1975.
 —As you can tell, Martin Scorsese is a terrific actor. He officially became an Emmy-nominated actor last year thanks to Apple TV’s The Studio. —The shootout scene was desaturated to avoid an X rating. —Peter Boyle, who played Wizard, played the monster in Young Frankenstein. —You wouldn’t know it from Taxi Driver, but Albert Brooks, who played Betsy’s campaign colleague, is a comedy icon who has made a few beloved films. Stanley Kubrick was a big fan of Albert Brooks’ work and became his friend and advisor. Albert Brooks and Rob Reiner met at Beverly Hills High School at age 14 and were lifelong friends. In 2023, Reiner directed an HBO documentary on Brooks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5pRaWnClyo —Taxi Driver’s score was composed by Bernard Herrmann, who is most famous for his score for Psycho. Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock ended their long association in the late 1960s. Younger directors and Hitchcock admirers like Scorsese and Brian De Palma tapped Herrmann to score their movies. Herrmann completed Taxi Driver’s score shortly before his death on Christmas Eve 1975. Two of his five Oscar nominations were posthumous: For Taxi Driver and for De Palma’s Obsession. (Yes, there’s another film called Obsession.) If you go to Herrmann’s IMDb, his most recent credit is for a show that aired in summer 2026: Apple TV’s Cape Fear. —Taxi Driver screenwriter Paul Schrader was responsible for the film’s seediness. He went on to write and direct the 1979 film Hardcore, which is sort of a spiritual successor to Taxi Driver. It’s about a Calvinist Michigan dad whose teenage daughter runs away to Hollywood and acts in underground porn films. The dad goes undercover as a porn producer to find her. (Peter Boyle also stars.) Hardcore shows the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, just like Taxi Driver showed the seediness of NYC. Here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boKe4FSYhJM —Robert De Niro co-founded the Tribeca Festival. And at this year’s festival in June, he had a 50th anniversary Taxi Driver reunion with Scorsese, Paul Schrader and Jodie Foster, and was made to say that famous line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJqexFeib5o —When Taxi Driver filmed in 1975, New York City had a homicide rate of 22 per 100,000, “the fourth lowest rate for the country's 11 most populous cities. Detroit had The highest rate of 49.3 murders for each 100,000 persons and Washington was second highest with 32.7,” according to the 1976 New York Times article linked below. New York City’s homicide rate in 2025 was 3.6 per 100,000 (and is on track to be lower in 2026). That is very low for such a populous city. In 2025, Los Angeles had a homicide rate of 5.9 per 100,000, which was L.A.’s lowest homicide rate since the 1950s. (For perspective: Cities like Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Baltimore, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville and Washington, D.C. all had double-digit homicide rates in 2025.) https://www.nytimes.com/1976/06/13/archives/33-slain-in-new-york-dont-know-killer-third-of-1975-new-york-murder.html

Fun reaction Camilla! I hope you will react to "Once Upon a Time in America" (1984) with Robert De Niro / directed by Sergio Leone. I'm looking forward to your Goodfellas viewing!
