“Never drink friends and always put it on the back” (Liberation), “There are plenty of holes in the desert. And plenty of problems are buried in these holes” (Casinos) or “You got my wife gonna get up?” (Raging bull), there is no shortage of cult replicas in Martin Scorsese cinema.
In 1976, director Robert de Niro gave one of his most beautiful roles, the taxi driver lost Travis Bikley, and gradually became unbearable. He noted that one of the 5 to 5 is separated from one of the excellent classics of the movie theater and has a cult replica that was accidentally born and left in all memories. And he has a surprise story.
The replica was born … at the concert!
Robert De Niro in 1975
In August 1975, Robert de Niro turned the taxi driver during the day and went to a concert one evening, which was received by singer Bruce Springstein in New York. During this event, the moment of the brand: song A quarter of up to three. The next day he went to 586 Colombia Avenue to take his character in the apartment, Travis Bikley.
On the spot, Martin Scorz asks him to improve some of the replicas by looking at himself in the mirror. Her character exerts many pistols on it, including a small pistol that is ready to produce her sleeve (Galesi-Brescia brevetto 5) and ready. On this scene, Travis is trying to give himself a confidence and invest than his reflection:

We can especially find it with hatred with Vincent Cassell in front of his mirror, but also Pumba to recover In the Lion King or return to the next 3, during a meeting between March and Bif Tannen.
