8. Taxi Driver - They Cannot Touch Her
If there are two reasons why this scene is so great; 1) we get the first sense of passion from Travis. We see the beautiful Cybill Shepard appear on screen, passing Martin Scorsese. And 2) it opens us up to the more complex, poetic side of Travis. He makes the assumption that she can be his. He manages to articulate himself properly. He creates the illusion that he is something or someone more normal just because he has a love interest. And that, I believe, is what the whole film is about. http://youtu.be/NmJcmnS9Ab4
