Why the fuck can I relate so much to this man? It boggles my mind how much we are one and the same. We're both incels, both rejected by society, both seeking justice in an unjust world. If only I could've talked to him.

He is not incel
You probably have friends or some niggas to chat online. He hadn't.
Oliver Allen
>dates prime poon
>incel
you seem confused, possibly stupid.
Eli Carter
you do realize he was a bad guy, right?
Cameron Wilson
bait thread
but seriously if anyone does watch Taxi Driver and go "omge he is literally me" then watch it again with the knowledge that the film is actively criticising you and calling you a deranged and selfish wreck who needs to sort his shit out
Asher Rogers
Nothing pisses me off more online than seeing people who identify with him and don't do anything about it, almost taking pride in that they relate to him.
Leo Cox
Go check some reddit threads about taxi driver if you really wanna pop a vein. I dont recommend it
Brody Mitchell
Why the fuck can I relate so much to this kid? It boggles my mind how much we are one and the same. We're both incels, both rejected by society, both seeking love in a loveless world. If only I could've talked to him.
Robert Hernandez
6/10 would get irritated again
Travis isn't an incel, he was macking on Cybill Shepherd successfully until he deliberately fucks it up because he doesn't really want to succeed- he wants to stare at the worse parts of society over and over until he has worked up the rationale for a violent self annihilating act
basically he deliberately went mad, I don't know if its psychopathy but it's definitely some really neurotic nihilism
Nathan Wilson
Scorsese doesn't depict Travis as being "cool" and viewers like you drag this film down. Just go watch Joker
Aiden Nguyen
based critical thinker who can actually evaluate a film beyond adolescent thrills
Levi Gutierrez
and narcissism, not unlike most of the posters on this site who disguise it as insecurity to be cute
Jacob Thompson
>he was macking on Cybill Shepherd successfully
He wasn't macking on shit, he got one awkward date on the basis of his intense autistic energy and then blew the second one on account of his intense autistic energy. This "guuuuh he did it on purpose" crap is just conjecture based on Schrader's contradictory asthmatic ramblings. There is no textual evidence to support it.

Gabriel Jones
It's so hard to find a character to say i relate to him so much. sad
Wyatt Hill
>oy vey, don't rebel
Henry Reed
>job that although unorthodox, seems quite cool and interesting because you listened to “what you won’t do for love” while watching lofi anime cars drive at night
>rejected by society
He was rejected by a girl, not society. He still has a job and goes out and in the end becomes a hero to the city and the girl. You on the other hand were rejected by a girl in your head, and left society on your own.
>seeking justice
He sought justice. You just post about it online.
Taxi Driver is the man you want to be, handsome, quiet yet interesting, saving the world, gaining the admiration of all around you. I don’t think it’s hopeless for you to become this but you’re gonna have to leave Yas Forums more often and spend time volunteering in your church or community or something. Get Yas Forums or die trying you sad cunt

Taxi Driver is more an observation than a critique and the movie would never have resonated with so many people if all men didn’t have a bit of Travis in them.
Matthew Johnson
He is though
>You probably have friends or some niggas to chat online. He hadn't.
He had the other taxi driver guys
Joseph Richardson
Why the fuck can I relate so much to this yuppie? It boggles my mind how much we are one and the same. We're both in-erm, we're both narcissists, both rejected by socie- erm... both seeking sensation in a soulless empty world. If only I could've talked to him.
Asher Torres
quality post thanks
your dad should have busted on your mom's cheeks
Robert Gray
>WOW,HE IS LITERALLY ME
Hudson Russell
We're both in- in touch with humanity
William Long
It’s a well directed observation with minimal commentary or moralising for its time. It’s deliberately questionable if people like Travis are even capable “sorting their shit out”.

Noah Thompson
Yeah i shouldv'e changed that.
Adrian Parker
I think that's splitting hairs a bit, a narrative needs both observation and criticism if it wants to come to a kind of conclusion like Taxi Driver does, and the resonation is because Travis is an archetype of a kind of character, and a kind of personality and attitude that pretty much all people can risk being sucked into if they're not aware of themselves and the reason's they make the decisions they do, which is where the criticism comes in to give the clarity of the darkness of what Travis is doing, and the observation comes from the fact that there really have been people exactly like him living in New York in that period, as there have been all over the world before and will be again
it's a tale of caution sort of, like Icarus flying too close to the sun
Samuel Butler

Wyatt Nelson
for that case the movie becomes an example for those who can communicate to people like Travis what's going wrong with their lives, so you don't get people like the Wizard having concerns falling on deaf ears and giving empty advice that may only make the situation worse
that's one of the reasons why the movie resonates with so many, because most people aren't unwitting reptiles and do yearn for help from somewhere if they're in a hole, which is what Travis does try and get in the confused and sort of stupid way he tries, and fails because of another confused and sort of stupid person not hearing what he's saying, if Travis wasn't a human under all his broken shit then it would be a completely different movie, but the impact and tragedy of it comes from the fact that he is as soft as anyone else, and becomes a cold and detached thing that probably can't get help anymore after going so far into where he goes
