Taxi Driver screenwriter Paul Schrader weighs in on one theory regarding the film's ending and Travis Bickle's possible death. Released in 1976, the film is directed by Martin Scorsese and remains one of the director's most acclaimed works. Robert De Niro memorably takes on the starring role as Bickle, an unstable veteran with increasingly violent desires. The film's climax sees Bickle injured in a gruesome shootout, but ultimately surviving and getting a mostly happy ending.
