Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Put it this way I would worry for Iris's family if he did indeed take them up on their offer to stay with them.
Having said that if there were specific clues that nothing had been resolved for this guy by the end of the film, that he hadn't gotten his killing urge out of his system, I either didn't spot them or I'm not interpreting them correctly.
I found myself wondering ''maybe he's done, maybe he was himself surprised at the media reaction to what he'd done, he was content to have gotten away with it all as a hero and from there on decides not to tarnish that''. Thats my own speculation on first viewing and having never really read much about the film.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
I think the biggest indication was the very end, his anxious glancing in the rear view mirror. Kind of indicates his unhinged personality is still rife! He is incredibly troubled and very dangerous. That was my interpretation of the end and his state of mind.
I think Deck's is right, it needs multiple views to possibly truely appreciate the film

If not, he's at least a carrier. He went to assassinate a guy whose blonde chick employee didn't like his date-night-porn-movie.

He's not suppose to be a homicidal psycho character. If that's what you all were expecting, well, no wonder you were disappointed

I could care less about the story of Taxi Driver. I love the film for the way it was made. It's style was legendary. Same goes for Raging Bull. It's a story about a piece of **** essentially but the style and uniqueness of film making is fantastic.

Just got done watching 50/50 for the like 20th time this month.
Seriously, if you don't like this movie you can go **** yourself.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
I don't know what you mean by "carrier" - but if all you took away from it was "assassinate a guy whose blonde chick employee didn't like his date-night-porn-movie"...maybe you should stick to slasher films or something

It was a figure of speech. (A 'carrier' is somebody who doesn't show symptoms of a disease, but is still contagious.) If he isn't supposed to be a homicidal psycho, he's close enough.
The point is, he was a homicidal psycho, and he paled in comparison to the truly great homicidal psycho performances ... Chigurh, Lecter, Bateman, Bates, Torrance, Ledger's Joker, Ed Norton in Primal Fear, Kevin Spacey in Se7en, Kathy Bates in Misery, etc.
I expected more.

Robert De Niro FTW! One of my all time favs ... making a 1/6 scale from HEAT already made Pacino.

If you're comparing Travis Bickle to all those others who are truly psycho and sociopaths, again, I don't know what to tell you. The movie isn't for everyone, I can at least understand that...

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
That's my point. He isn't in their league, and he probably could've been. He was a psycho and sociopath. He just wasn't good enough to be among the greats -- and, after all the hype, I expected that he would be.
I'm certainly not the only one comparing them, though ...

Those are just the lists off page 1 of a Google search for "top movie psychos". There are quite a few lists that seem to have him among the top psychos in the history of movies. I don't think he compares favorably to the greats, but the idea that the comparison itself is out-of-left-field is odd.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Travis is experiancing pts as he returns to the world but he's still young and optimistic. Then of course we slowly see his slide into depression as he realises the world he was fighting for isn't what he thought it was. He falls back on his military training to kill time and build back up his body with the idea he needs to do something to make a differance but he doesn't know what. Then he realises his faith in government was misplaced and snaps and tries to assassinate the senator. After it fails he realises he can use his power to help sport instead. But yes he is still very dangerous. He is temporarily satisfied as the letter from her parents proves he did make a differance and his world brightens up a bit but he is still driving in the same city, still disconnected from people and likely to need an outlet again. I unlike Teddy, do see Travis as a hero, but a very flawed and tragic one, a victim of what he was made by the country he trusted when he was young and naive, he made the right choice ultimately doing something to help more then hurt once he's given that oppurtunity but at the same time he's obviously still dangerous. Closer to say Tim Burton's Batman who still kills people then Patrick Bateman imo but we see this movie in a much more realistic and less favorable light then a typical superhero movie. But if you see Hitgirl or Punisher as a hero, Travis isn't very differant, again just shown in a differant light and taken more seriously rather then having the fact that say your a 10 year old girl murdering people be a gimmicky joke. Ultimately Travis wants to kill the people he does because he feels it will make the world a better place, it's a pyschotic urge but I see it differantly than Patrick Bateman.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Big talk from a guy that got confused by the word "carrier".
None of the psycho characters to whom I said he paled in comparison wore hockey masks (Lecter was kinda close, though). 'Horror' movies generally suck. Even the ones with hockey masks. My wife likes them, though.
I doubt its "over my head". I understood it. It just wasn't that great.

^^ Good explanation but honestly, there's no point in trying to change his mind...the movie's just over his head. He just wants to see hockey masks and hooters...
