Travis Bickle (De Niro) is an alienated, isolated, depressed and sexually frustrated young man of 26 from the Midwest, who says he was a Marine. He suffers from chronic insomnia and consequently takes a job as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City. Travis spends his spare time watching pornography in seedy porn theaters and driving around aimlessly through the shadiest neighborhoods of Manhattan.

In this scene we clearly see how his isolation has reached levels where his only communication is with himself in the mirror.

Taxi Driver is a 1976 American film drama directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader. It is widely considered one of the greatest, but also one of the most controversial films in the history of American cinema and is frequently praised for its strong performances and gritty realism. The film is also notable for making stars out of both its leading actors, Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster; the latter was only thirteen years old when the movie was released. It was also the last film on which the legendary composer Bernard Herrmann (famed for his work with Alfred Hitchcock, especially Psycho) completed work on, and Taxi Driver is dedicated to his memory.
