  Travis is not evil - he does not take pleasure in the suffering of others, not even those he himself made to suffer.<br><br>Deeply troubled and disturbed - but not evil.

  The thought of a bunch of dudes sitting in a dark public space watching porn together is just so weird to me.

  Travis states that: &quot;Loneliness has followed him his entire life&quot; which tells us that he&apos;s been a loner his entire life.<br><br>Great insight there.

  one thing you didnt mention is that travis wouldve blown his head off in front of Iris if he didnt run out of ammo. He really didnt care how she felt in that moment, and wouldve added to her trauma

  Fun fact: John Hinckley Jr, the dude who shot Reagan, was obsessed with this character, he even said he tried to assassinate the former president to impress Jodie Foster.

  No lie, I’ve known more than a few “Travis Bickles” working on the graveyard shift. They’re out there man. That’s &nbsp;the most disturbing part of Taxi Driver. The story is fiction, but that shits as true as it gets.

  I love how Robert De Niro had a role in Joker. The way I see it, that was him giving his blessing to a movie that was heavily influenced by his classic.

  If a robbber (he wasn&apos;t a thief) is pointing a loaded firearm at someone in the commission of a crime, deadly force is more than warranted. That wasn&apos;t murder.

  The moment when Travis stops drinking and working out again would today be the moment he starts unironically posting in a “self improvement general” thread on 4chan

  Travis is an anti-hero, not a villain. He has good and evil inside of him, just like all of us. Just because someone is suffering from mental health issues doesn&apos;t mean they are evil. Evil is about intent. Travis&apos;s intent was always good.

  Seen this movie again on a big screen rerun and oh man is this movie growing more and more relatable as we progress through society.
