What the F*CK was his problem?!?

what the F*CK was his problem?!?

I don't know.. His barber?

autism

His parents failed him.

Paranoid personality disorder

He saw the moral flaws inherent within the welfare state.

He snapped. Got sick of people. Every time he genuinely tried to invest his faith in a person or a cause, it backfired.

Granted, like most of us, it was a clumsy attempt at belonging and socialization. But he tried to do the norm life thing. He tried to date, he tried to get invested in politics....

Then the hate bubbled over and he became a lunatic made of iron. I DO like that the story sort of redeemed him at the end after he saved Jodie Foster's character from a life of prostitution. Generally speaking, these types of films have the guy go on a massacre who then is either killed or imprisoned for his sins (like Falling Down).

What? I'm hip!

he was a democrat

Get a load of this guy

He just wanted to clean the streets up :(

How the fuck wasnt he out in jail in the end?

>hair inconsistently changes throughout the entire second half

Why is Scorsese so shit at continuity?

While your explanation makes me like this movie more I have to be honest and say it felt incredibly boring. Like it was leading up to something that never came.

pls respond

He was a hero

He's a white man with first world problems. Not a bait desu.

And a real human bean

Why? Just a autistic edgy, like you.

He died in that apartment. The end sequence was him fantasising as he dies.

>iris safely back home, doing well in school
>he's all over the papers, recognised city wide as a community hero
>non other than his dream girl hops into his cab at the end, suddenly she's full of respect for him and seemingly wants to give him another chance, but he's so confident in himself now he's no longer obsessed with her

He's dying, we're witnessing fantasy. He dies in that apartment.

Too redpilled for the 70s

incel white knight.

>He snapped. Got sick of people. Every time he genuinely tried to invest his faith in a person or a cause, it backfired.

But he didn't do that. He was a socially awkward, contradictory fuck. He talks about degeneracy and his crush on this random chick he sees every day like its some deep meaningful shit, but he's guilty of the exact same things he bitches about.

>likes girl for some "deep" intrinsic reason
>its actually just because she's pretty
>goes and buys her favorite album as a gift
>doesn't even listen to it
>bitches to her about degeneracy
>takes her out on a date to a fucking porn movie theater

He doesn't try to socialize. He engages in self-isolation brought down by a mental complex of not being able to adjust into society after the military and living a toxic lifestyle. He takes drugs and purposefully works night shifts because he's aimless and doesn't really have a goal or purpose in his life. He then fucking snaps and goes off on the deep end and somehow gets away with it, but his life never really changes for the better because he's engaging in the same self-destructive actions that led him down to that path in the first place.

buddy, you don't look hip

Why did he try to kill himself if he thought he would be a hero in his dying dream?
