>All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn, I take 'em to Harlem. I don't care. Don't make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won't even take spooks. Don't make no difference to me.
What the fuck, he sounds mentally disturbed. Was Travis bipolar? What did he mean by this?
>implying travis was wrong
jeez 1970s-80s new york was such a hell hole
No. He just has a sad meaningless unfulfilling life so he acts self-righteous to make himself feel better. Like these guys
What's a venal?
It's an adjective.
wtf I hate Travis now!
they don't eat meat
sounds like the thought process of a Sup Forumstards and/or MDE fan
>Some won't even take spooks. Don't make no difference to me.
>Sup Forums
Those sick fucking degenerates.
He was a Trump voter before those existed
travis is Sup Forums
>lumping in dispossessed LGBT people with drug addicts, gangsters, and hookers
pls don't do this
poz my neghole faggot
travis did nothing wrong
I don't think a Sup Forumstard would give his life for a prostitute.
>tfw it's only gotten worse since then
>tfw the real New Yorkers left because real estate become too expensive/how fucking shit it was in the 1970s
>tfw no Vinny Boombots to hang out with on toyty toyd street
>have to deal with degenerate blue haired faggots complaining about made up problems
I don't know if Travis's actions were purely motivated by her
He's a retard but I like him. Who takes a girl to a porn theater on a first date?
That's because everyone calling Travis Sup Forums is retarded. He's clearly a /k/-/r9k/ crossposter
>implying the average Sup Forums user wouldn't be shitting bricks and shaking while he drives a nigger around
thats the point he was making. Sup Forums wouldn't take blacks. bickle does
this
>tfw the real New Yorkers left
to where then?
Long Island, New Jersey, California, and Florida.
True. Had they stuck with their original choice to make the pimp black and added a line or two of racist dialogue and made Senator Charles Palentine a right-wing candidate the movie would have been 100% Sup Forums.
>fairies
>buggers
>venal
What the fuck are these?
Long Island, Jersey or some shitty Midwestern town
There's definitely none in Manhattan
Fuck, even I barely have the accent and I've lived in New York City all my life
travis is pretty cool
fags, nogs and degenerates.
they should reboot this except it all takes place on computer monitors with someone rambling about cunnyposters and blackedposters
Woah, Travis is a racist?
>wash the streets clean
no he was a realist
I thought buggers are faggots too so I dunno. Isn't buggery assfucking?
Has any of you read about Taxi Driver's screenwriter and his experiences during the time the script was being made? I think it's the kind of thing that at least some anons will empathize with, since a lot of it boils down to paranoia and a paradoxical desire of being around people and simultaneously loathing the company of others.
All the shots of Travis staring at niggers, it really should have been him killing blacks at the end. Sport and all his people should've been black, to fulfill the movie's set-ups.
But it doesn't make sense to make the Senator a right-winger.

Yeah, I think you are right. It's kinda redundant though.
>tfw I want to be a taxi driver
>tfw I'm a uni student so there is no point in getting a taxi license
>tfw uber is illegal in my country
what do
That's strange. I didn't quote that second post at all.
Travis Bickle is the type of guy who complains about SJWs, but browses Tumblr all day
Aparently Scorsese made the pimp white on purpose to avoid a race riot
fuck off we had these commercials in Boston on the local stations
>tfw uber is illegal in my country
I love how Cabbies are trying so hard to delay their demise.
> You see the woman in the window? Do you see the woman in the window?...I want you to see that woman, because that's my wife. But that's not my apartment. That's not my apartment. You know who lives there? Huh? I mean, you wouldn't know who lives there - I'm just saying, "But you know who lives there?" Huh? A nigger lives there. How do ya like that? And I'm gonna, I'm gonna kill her. There's nothing else. I'm gonna kill her. What do you think of that? Hmm? I said 'What do you think of that?' Don't answer. You don't have to answer everything. I'm gonna kill her. I'm gonna kill her with a .44 Magnum pistol. I have a .44 Magnum pistol. I'm gonna kill her with that gun. Did you ever see what a .44 Magnum pistol can do to a woman's face? I mean it'll fuckin' destroy it. Just blow her right apart. That's what it can do to her face. Now, did you ever see what it can do to a woman's pussy? That you should see. You should see what a .44 Magnum's gonna do to a woman's pussy you should see.
Was he a cuck?
>kills his wife for fucking a nigger
>cuck
What happened to his actor?
>Dude use your private property to chaffeur drunk chads and stacies around!
>who cares if they vomit in your car it's not our problem, just give them a bad customer review!
Uber is a cancer.
>implying there are aspects of gay """culture""" that aren't totally immoral and destructive
BASED AF
>my friends call me CP
Carvel knew what was up.
Also kino tristate area commercial coming through:
cabbies will always be around in one way or the other.
Nobody is forcing you to be an uber chauffeur though, I think every driver knows the risks.
Yeah I remember the last time there was a race riot based on a negative stereotype in a movie.
He got in a car accident. He was the fat guy from Mean Streets who called Richie Aprile a mook.

>"HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN SLEEPING? HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN DRIFTING ALONE THROUGH THE NIGHT? HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN RUNNING FOR THAT MORNING FLIGHT, THROUGH THE WHISPERED PROMISES AND THE CHANGING LIGHT, OF THE BED WHERE WE BOTH LIE! LATE FOR THE SKY
During the fucking filming of Taxi Driver Scorsese got footage of blacks firebombing a theatre that was playing Ralph Bakshi's controversial film Coonskin and he sent it to Ralph.
DeNiro is such a faggot now. I can't watch his movies anymore.
Good.
This film was never about racism it's about loneliness and mental illness.
>implying the underemployed should have to choose between poverty or turning their personal property into a corporate commodity.
Same problem with Air B&B, Lyft and any other aspect of the "sharing economy." Sharing economy is literally worse than communism. At least commies had breadlines.
Keep swallowing that Silicon Valley cock, though.
>Quentin Tarantino gave it four stars
This. I think if Sport was black people would dismiss Bickle as a racist and not mentally disturbed.
Sport being white was integral to the characterization.
Scorsese is a maestro.
>.44 magnum
>cuck
It's a masterpiece, a parody of Walt Disney's Song Of The South and blaxploitation.
It's about general hatred and disgust, and Travis' sick pattern of putting himself in the midst of what causes him disgust.
why because he doesn't like Trump?
you should grow a spine. the most insecure and pleb thing you can do is allow an actors personal beliefs to affect your judgement on film.
>people today think BLM are bad
BLM stay up at night wishing they were as hardcore as niggers in the 70s. They understood you don't ask for respect, you take it. Too bad the Reagans and the CIA flooded the ghetto with crack in the 80s and put an end to all that.
You're right, but it sucks to see someone you thought was cool is just another brainwashed idiot.
>he thinks owning a gun magically turns you into a real man
I don't understand the point that you're making. If you don't want to share you appartement or car with random strangers in exchange for money, don't. It's that simple. Clearly the people that engage in such behavior find that it's worth it.
He was always a fucking liberal you fucking dolt.
Don't get your fucking cunt lips knotted because he didn't want to vote the same way you did. You sound like a fucking pussy.
>>>r/the_donald
Go back, nigger.
>Capitalists desperately whine about free market and how corporations should go unimpeded
>Get huffy when someone exploits this model
Relly makes u thought
i agree, but i am confident in my own beliefs that nobody else's affect mine.
Because the jobs are just growing on trees, right?
Just go down and walk right in, you'll be hired right away!
I've always liked Taxi Driver, but not for its violence really.
It has this feeling and look I enjoy.
You're doing a lot of projecting. He played pieces of shit for most of his career.
keep crying, faggot
It's very comfy and stylish, captures the grittiness of a shitty city
You're bad at this.
I always wondered what Bickle went through in Nam.
What fucked him up so badly?
It's weird to see how disgusting New York streets were in the 70's, then 40 years later it's like fucking Disneyland
>What fucked him up so badly?
VD from Vietnamese hookers.
How is uber to blame if the only valuable skill you have is being able to drive and the only exploitable property you own is your car. Ultimately having no useful skills or exploitable property is a choice someone makes, even if unconsciously. Shouldn't you be happy that the likes of uber and airbnb give these people a way to earn money? If in your hypothetical scenario they really don't have any alternatives, can you imagine where would they be without these companies?
Not trying to be edgy here but being NEET and alone for a long period have left me really identifying with Travis. I hate people, I see filth and decay when I look at society etc. How do I fix this shit? I don't want to be an angry crazy loner
That, and they used gun control legislation to justify raids against any militant black groups and assassinate their leaders.
STD
>Too bad the Reagans and the CIA flooded the ghetto with crack in the 80s
do you have a single fact to back that up
you're weak as shit dude. go back to whatever echobox you spawned from, alternatively grow a spine and a pair of balls before you post again
t. nu-male
Honestly by going out and meeting people. I was in the same boat you were in and that's how I made it better.
Go onto an online dating service and go on a few dates. Don't go in with the expectation of sex or finding a gf, you aren't there yet. Just go out on a few dates so you can get used to talking to people again. It's not about finding love at this point, it's about hearing other perspectives.
When you are alone, you internalize shit. That's why most of us here are angry, bitter people. We circle jerk in this hive of misery like it's gonna make us happy.
Go on a few dates. Use a free service like OK Cupid of Plenty of Fish. Don't do anything but get a coffee and talk. Don't tell her you aren't looking for love or anything, pretend it's a real date but don't give yourself any expectations. If you give yourself expectations you fail to meet, you'll be more depressed/disgusted.
Oh, and never try to kiss/hug or anything on one of these "dates" unless she initiates it. You WILL look like a creepy motherfucker. Just say "I had a great time, it was nice to meet you" and leave it at that.
I'd give more advice but I have to be up for work in like 5 hours so I'm going to bed.
I wouldn't say they are to blame, but rather that they are a symptom of capitalism decaying to the point where the capitalists aren't even fronting their own capital, in the search to eke out a profit
this sounds like solid advice, i'd like to hear the rest of it and also your story about going back out in society. do you have an email or something? i'd be interested
Am I the only one who thinks Scorsese in this film looks exactly like Oscar Isaac? You see Inside Llewyn Davis and this and they both look alike, and Oscar even has the same way of speaking and mannerisms as Scorsese in this scene
I think if they ever make a Scorsese biopic Oscar Isaac should play him
>he's a good guy but seems something wrong with the world
he said we would take blacks and take them anywhere
but he also says there are lots of depraved people
most people could ignore that shit
would travis kill the cunny posters?
Go outside. Make small talk with strangers. Exercise. Try to make new friends. Get a job. If youre really NEET then get a job where you can be friendly with co workers.
Loneliness is caused by being alone and cured by belonging.
Also how old are you? If youre 18 -22 theres a good chance its chemical.
Fell in love a couple years back exactly like how travis did. Was depressed a long time before that too. Now im 23 turning 24 and honestly those crushing feelings i used to think would kill me (used to carry a flask of whiskey with me everywhere for example) have basically vanished. Though im not exactly happy, the weight seems mostly to have gone on its own.
Also, buy a hooker if you've never been laid and you're over 20. It will honestly make you feel better
You, user get "IT" already !! A dude is mentally disturbed. A film doesn't hafta explain "What?" & "How?". It just takes you through the mind of disturbed person. It successfully has taken ppl talk about film from inside out for a long time.
the capital is the software, the automation of nearest driver, rates, etc
Can't internalize when you have split personalities.
