>Travis is a walking contradiction. He hates the scuminess of New York but frequents porno theaters, and drives around prostitutes, talks about being healthy but drinks and pops pills. (...) The truth is, Travis is lonely, and as a result, he's a mish-mash of various ideologies.
>He's incapable of seing Betsy's dismissiveness as anything other than a superficial perception of his persona, and this is key to this character: Travis develops hatred for the lifestyles that reject him, and as a result his repressed egotism grows.
Does anyone think maybe we'd be happier if we left this site where we accuse each other of mental illness all day? I mean it could help.
Wyatt Johnson
Nah shitposting is the only thing that brings me happiness these days
Dylan Rodriguez
based Travis was a silent guardian, a watchful protector
Charles Fisher
What pills is he taking in the film?
Carter Morris
amphetamine
Connor Bailey
It's not particularly relevant. The manner in which he takes them leads us to believe he's not dosing properly; whatever it is he's taking, it's recreation.
Christian Richardson
flintstones vitamins
Daniel Jenkins
This is one of the films where the "women can't understand" meme is true.
Evan Foster
literally nothing wrong with popping pills recreationaly
Jace Young
i remember this video. it was fucking retarded. be sure to drop a dislike.
Hudson Thomas
Especially nowadays, even the most average bitch has at least 3 thirsty guys in their DMs
Evan Lewis
Yes Truly pathetic
Christian Sanchez
>i remember this video. it was fucking retarded Explain >be sure to drop a dislike. oh you're retarded
William Butler
women will never experience or understand true loneliness. they just never will
Nolan Myers
Why don't you have 3 horny thots in your DMs?
Evan Ortiz
Let me guess, you're american.
Matthew Torres
I'm actually Mongolian
Camden Sullivan

Cooper Lopez
too busy posting sneed memes
Austin Morris
normalfag. god this site is shit now looks like a samefag though, all three
Reminder the hospital scene / thank you letter were real and everyone who thinks he imagined it should see themselves back to r/movies
Jayden Watson
nice dubs
Landon Hill
Cause I’m gay
Isaac Campbell
i think you're right but the way the father speaks while the letter is being read kinda sounds similar to how travis has been reading his journal entries
Ryan Wilson
In the beginning of the film Travis drivers past a theater playing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. If Travis had taken Betsy to see that instead of the porno, do you think she would've reacted differently? Why or why not?
probably would've collapsed at some point regardless. she didn't understand travis at all and didn't give him a second chance after an honest mistake he tried to fix immediately
Connor Allen
Travis would've been all up in dem cheeks
Aiden Butler
The fact that you said that completely out of context makes it seem like you think there is
Grayson Brooks
Yes but the very final scene where he reconciles with Betsy shows that he has matured and can deal with his emotions more responsibly (although he is still haunted by them as evidenced by the final shot of him staring at the rear-view mirror)
Nolan Reed
It was too unrelatable that Betsy accepted his offer for a date, or that he would be confident enough to ask at all.
Nolan Perry
>the very final scene where he reconciles with Betsy Didn't happen. Wasn't real. Travis died in the shootout. Everything after that was fantasy.
>Ex-girlfriend messages me out of the blue one day saying she saw Taxi Driver and I reminded her of Travis
What did she mean by this?
Carter Richardson
Did a soy made that video?
Gabriel Thomas
start looking at black people suspiciously
Hudson Bailey
BASED redpills fpbp
Nathan Hughes
Taxi Driver is more relevant now than it was back in the 70s It predicted crazy white men going on a rampage due to sexual frustration, also explores porn addiction of white men and consequences of it. It predicted white women fucking niggers left and right (the scorsese scene), and white men being very mad about it.
That's why, Sup Forums loves Taxi Driver so much. That's why they identify with him.
Is there a part of Sup Forums anons' brains that makes them interpret every single film as some sort of validation for autistic thoughts?
Kevin Reyes
Why do you say that?
Adam Williams
I eat a lot of soy
Landon Hernandez
no you dumb manlet I have no friends no gf never see my family but whining about 'lonliness' is pathetic needing other people is sad you should not wallow in self pity it is sickening
I am sure I am heading the right direction. We all are. Because unlike Travis we have internet now. And we have each other.
Unless you are in other financial trouble, which I cannot help
Angel Gray
tl;dr could your shorten your theory there Baudelaire
Leo Harris
the internet isn't real
Cameron Bell
yes it is
Kevin Smith
The internet is more real than reality
Ayden Wood
So he's a Sup Forumstag?
Jeremiah Murphy
this place is literally my only social outlet desu
Julian Howard
>needing other people is sad Ah yes, hundreds of millions of years of evolution solidified a physiological need for companionship and help but caring about that is wrong according to brainlet user and his friends that he doesn't consider friends.
Gabriel Collins
I wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't here.
Kevin Gonzalez
>simply pointing out that others are coddled is considered demanding to be coddled
This is how women think
Easton Thomas
this movies only gets better with age, btw any of you guys remember the cancelled Taxi Driver game?
>develops hatred for the lifestyles that reject him, as a result his repressed egotism grows. >literally died to kill child raping pimps. This is your brain on soy.
Easton Russell
didn't the director himself say Travis was imagining it all?
Andrew Jackson
he didn't die you pleb
Jayden Price
Yeah, he definitely got hailed as a hero in the newspaper and Iris definitely went back to her parents to live a happy life, oh and also his dream girl definitely came back to him with a second chance. These were definitely real events and not the fantasy of a dead man.
Joseph Wood
If he didnt, he was willing to.
Anthony Gomez
>You know who lives there?
Christopher Gray
Thinking it's about "toxic" masculinity just proves that you're one of the people who don't understand it.
Aaron Anderson
the gesture he made at the end of the shooting when the police came and the shot right after that heavily imply he did die. that and everything that followed simply did not make any sense.
