THE POSTER THAT MARTY HATED! ..When Taxi Driver came along, I thought of it as a labor of love nobody was going to see. We’d had problems with censorship, the studio got mad at me because they’d been threatened with an X rating. I loved this Belgian artist and wanted him to make a painting that would be the poster for Taxi Driver. It was beautiful and I loved it. The studio made a B-movie poster, just black and white, Bob De Niro walking up Eighth Avenue, a porn theater behind him and it said, “In every city, there’s one.” I hated that poster, but it was the one that sold the picture. -Martin Scorsese, Playboy Interview 2003

Taxi Driver

by Jacob Wise

Martin Scorsese said he was terrified of meeting me. He was serious. He had seen Shivers and Rabid and thought they were devastating. I said, ‘Marty, you’re the guy who made Taxi Driver!’
David Cronenberg (via swintons)
I think the immediate connection, when I read [Taxi Driver], was with the anger and the rage, and the loneliness—not being part of a group. I was always on the outside. You grow up in a neighborhood where what a ‘man’ is, quote unquote, is a guy who can go into a room and slam some people around and win … But on the other hand, I heard my father say different things about what a man is; that had to do with being morally strong.

oldfilmsflicker: I wish I could find a full version of this (you can view it on Amazon.com) but let’s take a minute to love little nerdy 11 year-old Scorsese and his “Marsco productions” and desire to film in Cinemascope and his fucking perfect ideal cast.

Raging Bull has tons of repressed sexuality. The love scene where she gets him to a point of desire and he pours ice water on himself. That’s interesting sexually to me. -Excerpts from Martin Scorsese: A Journey
