Martin Scorsese’s refusal to compromise and pull punches while making Taxi Driver is one of the reasons he’s such an inspiring artist. My favorite part of Mr. Scorsese was Taxi Driver. This was when Marty, De Niro & Schrader pushed all their chips to the center of the table.

Robert De Niro’s best performance came in 1976 in Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver. I know De Niro already had an Oscar for The Godfather 2, but this is the film that made De Niro a household name & an icon: it elevated Bob from a great actor to a pop culture superstar. Cheers, Bob.

The score of Taxi Driver (1976) was Bernard Herrmann’s final gift to cinema. He finished the music, died hours later, and left Scorsese with one of the most haunting sounds in film history.

Taxi Driver turned out to not just be the defining film of the De Niro-Scorsese partnership, I think it’s the defining film of the ‘70s, next to The Godfather. Travis Bickle foretold of the future. De Niro’s performance also influenced an entire generation. #ScorseseSundays.

Marcello Mastroianni explains why Robert De Niro's "method acting" technique is the total opposite of "true acting": "By nature, the actor is a kind of wonder who can allow himself to change personalities. If you don’t know how to do this, it’s better to change professions. I think it’s ridiculous to imagine that to play a taxi driver or a boxer you have to spend months and months “studying” the life of cabdrivers and the weight of fighters." ("De Niro: A Biography", John Baxter, 2002) Clip from: Taxi Driver (1976) Director: Martin Scorsese

When Martin Scorsese released Mean Streets in 1973, nobody had ever heard the names Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro or Harvey Keitel before. But by the time this film & Taxi Driver came out in 1976, the three were household names. I love these early days. #ScorseseSundays

Christopher Nolan says Martin Scorsese’s THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST was a major inspiration for THE ODYSSEY. “The figure of Jesus & what Scorsese does with him was very, challenging to the audience. That was quite inspiring from the POV of Odysseus.”

"'Taxi Driver' (1976, Scorsese) is about a guy sort of drifting around. The girl he wants, he can’t have. The girl he can have, he doesn’t want. Tries to kill the father figure of one, fails. Kills the father figure of the other. Becomes a hero." –-- Paul Schrader

To avoid an X rating for Taxi Driver (1976), Martin Scorsese desaturated the colors in the climactic shootout so the blood wouldn’t read as vividly. The side effect was a colder, more nightmarish finale. Scorsese later said he preferred this version.
