During an appearance on "Live with Kelly and Mark," Robert De Niro discussed the spontaneous improvisation behind the iconic mirror scene in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." The actor emphasized that some of the best moments in cinema can arise from improvisation, sharing how the producer implied that the scene was largely unscripted. De Niro found the improvised approach added an element of unpredictability that enriches the collaborative process with Scorsese, underpinning why this scene resonates profoundly in cinematic history.
It seemed right. It was done spontaneously. You don't know what's going to happen. That's the fun of working, especially with someone like Marty Scorsese.
Some of the best stuff, not always, is when it's improvised. We had something [on the page], I forget exactly but Marty remembers a lot better than I do.
