people need to understand that this film in 1976 was groundbreaking. Character study films weren't the norm
19:25 Martin Scorsese has addressed this shot. I was curious about this too. He said it was his way of showing how pathetic the phone call was- even the camera didn’t want to watch.
The ending is meant to be ironic. Travis is hailed as a hero by the media for killing the pimp when if he had assassinated the politician as planned he would be reviled. In the end everything goes back to how it was in the beginning. The scene with Betsy is not literally a dream but intentionally made to feel that way to force the audience into buying into Travis’ delusions. But as he drives away he looks back in the mirror in disgust and the tone of the music turns dark and ominous to suggest that he’s still unhappy and unfulfilled despite everything because ultimately nothing has really changed.
I found the moral of the story was that theres a thin line between being a hero through violence and being a vilan. That society should perhaps be caution in celebrating these acts. We felt justified in his slaughter of people we didn't like but that was the same impulse that would have made him a political assassin.
The ending IS the point. It's the fact that he gets away with it....the cynical 70's approach for an ending that confounds expectations and doesn't go for an uplifting result.
You talkin to me? You talkin..To me?! Still one of the most iconic lines in movie history
Martin Scorsese is such a good actor, he scared me so much as a passenger cameo. I also didn't realized that he used the N word in his dialogue 😅
I saw an interview with Jodie Foster recently in which she said at age 12 1/2, when she shot this film, she had more onset experience than De Niro and Scorsese combined.
The shot of him on the payphone is so great because it's basically Marty's way of saying "this is painfully awkward, let's look away".
