cocaine

To give Scorsese a cameo.

>white man can't compete

The city is full of scum. Hes a racist cuck fantasizing about murder, his wife is a whore, the black guy is a nigger, etc ...

He filled in last minute

To show how Travis is desensitized to violence

To give an accurate portrayal of how wypipo think of blacks

Scorsese informs Travis about the power of a .44 Magnum.

The movie should have ended right there. Scorsese NAILED it. Best scene ever.

>No, don't--

The fucking meter!

What are you doing? What are you doing with the meter?

Did I tell you to do that with the meter?

Put the meter back, let the numbers go on.

I don't care what I have to pay. I'm not getting out.

Put the meter back on. Put it down.

Put it-- That's right. Put it down!

That's right.

Why are you writing? Don't write!

Put the thing down. Just sit.

I didn't tell you to write. I said, "Pull over to the curb."

We're gonna sit here.

We're gonna sit.

It's how white people really feel about blacks when they're alone.

Yea the original actor was sick. I think DeNiro was supposed to respond, but he never did. Scorcese was great in that scene.

I feel like Scorcese was channeling his mother with that dialogue.

Did he actually end up killing his wife? Or was he a little chicken?

To emphasize that the city is indeed full of scum.

The cab rider.

The cheating wife.

The nigger adulterer.

They're all awful people and deserve to be washed away.

The movie never went back to see.

Travis imagined the whole scene.

That was just Scorsese directing De Niro. They decided to keep it in

holy fuck wait a minute Taxi Driver main character is "literally" me at the recently as of late. Perhaps I could watch this movie.

consensus is that the film should've ended after the shootout

Young Scorsese would've made a good Charles Manson

I wish he beat Quentin to making a movie about him

>Implying Travis Bickle would ever see a movie and say "Hey Im like that guy! I am going to imitate him!"

who said Im planning on imitating him?

scorsese warning white men on the dangers of the BBC

a true revolutionary. a man ahead of its time.

>who said Im planning on imitating him?

You're a virgin loner that's obsessed with niggers. How many firearms do you own?

Except he literally imitates other people, retard

oh you included the n word in your post, aren't you so cool.
This site is 18+. Just reading the synopsis I can relate to all the details about him at the start.

>n word

Jesus Christ, What a faggot!

What was Travis Binkle's problem anyway?

To show the level of degeneracy in the city that Travis was talking about.

whoa man
take it a back. chill it.
you talkiin to me??!

Shots fired.
Discuss in detail. I dont remember him imitating anyone.
You need to watch the movie and then come back. He was an isolated depressed character who couldnt identify or socialize properly with others who went off the edge. There are no Bickles here, being on this website allows us rejects to socialize with one another curbing postal tendencies.

I dunno, I like the ending scene with the look he gives

It all took place in his mind

is this canon

it's left open for interpretation

To use the nigger word, that's it.

I feel like this scene is is meant to subconsciously let you know that the woman Scorsese is talking about is actually Betsie. That's why Travis was really pissed at her. At some point the movie switches Travis with Scorsese. Travis showing up at her job and saying she's gonna die in a hell is really Scorsese reacting to her cucking him. Travis is really outside the job watching that from his taxi. Go back and watch the scene where Betsie first appears. Scorsese is sitting right outside her job watching her too. Why would he randomly put himself in an inconspicuous cameo only to give himself a character with actual lines later and not have them be the same person?

But Scorsese is italian

not tru

Harvey Keitel's pimp character was supposed to be black but the studio had him change it

Good. Less niggers in my movies the better.

For example, he takes Betty to the porno because he sees other people doing it and assumes that they're a model for what society deems to be OK, and he also buys a .44 Magnum after hearing Scorsese talk about it

This aspect of the film is really well done. Travis dislikes most people and drives his cab most of the time, so it is obvious that he has little contact with people in general. And one of the few things he does in his spare time is go to late night movies since he says he has trouble sleeping. The only movies that would be playing back then that late at night would be adult films.

So he sees other couples there and assumes that this is just normal behavior for couples or anyone. It’s actually pretty sad when he tries to take Betsy because you can really see that he genuinely doesn’t understand what he did wrong and that that is considered unacceptable.

Such a great portrayal of a person that is truly disconnected from society.
