Who was a bigger asshole/bad guy?

Who was a bigger asshole/bad guy?

Is this a serious question? Alex was a serial rapist/murderer.

Travis was just a nobody who turned bad.

Alex was a whinny little prick who killed and raped people for fun.
Travis was an extremely out of touch war veteran who murdered a gang of human traffickers and saved a little girls future.

Are you a woman by any chance.

Travis was a disturbed antihero, Alex Delarge was a bad guy through and through. The point of A Clockwork Orange is that we can sympathize with bad guys, and that even bad guys don't deserve torture at the hands of the state. But Alex was still a badguy.

Diagnose Travis
Is he on the spectrum? You'd think someone with Autism wouldn't care about being so isolated.

>Travis was just a nobody who turned bad.

>Killing pimps and human traffikers is bad

i always thought ptsd

taxi driver is basically r9k goes postal: the movie.

>Muh autism!
Thats because it was autism

What isn't autism these days?

>Conker's bad furday borrowed it's intro from clockwork orange

Alex was a bitch who went around causing havoc with his gang of thugs. His character is a loser with no redeemable qualities.

Travis was a lone wolf psychopath who was desperately trying to find some sense of power and control in a degenerating world. He has one moment where his morality lapses while considering the assassination of Senator Palantine, however, in a moment of serendipity he is caught acting suspiciously by a Secret Service sentry and ditches the plan. Travis returns to his apartment and realizes that he let his emotions get in the way of his crusade, so he moves on directly to the sex traffickers of New York City.

After liberating Iris, he goes on with his normal life, achieving some sense of peace and confidence in himself.

Travis wins all around.

Lends credence to the theory that the whole final act was in his head

Travis has a full-time job that he works to the point of excess, which puts him in quite a contrast with r9k.

Except the writer and director have said a thousand times that that isn't the case, so shut the fuck up with that retarded "it was all a dream lol" shit.

society

>Implying he wasn't just autistically imaginging most of that in his head and Travis isn't posting here right now.

yep and outro love it

So he just gets away with it then? that's not realistic.

Decadence.

Except the end plays right into the beginning, Travis is the same, just emboldened.
Scorsese could've made a sequel about a vigilante taxi driver methodically cleaning up the streets.

Killing is bad. Travis should have went to the proper authorities.

>Senator Palantine
Is that Sheev's cousin?

Gets away with what? Killing a group of criminals?
New York was an even bigger shit-hole back then, crime was out of control.
Travis was a seemingly respectable citizen and a veteran, they wouldn't bother him.

People don't realise how bad 1970s New York was. The DA/ADA would drop a case like Travis's instantly.

Also say what you like about scorsese but schrader isn't lazy enough to pull out a dream ending.

It's still against the law i'm not arguing if what he did was good or not. Even if you kill bad people you still get charged for a crime.
