Taxi Driver

Travis is a man who is pissed off at the world especially New York City. In the movie he mentions pimps, druggies, lowlifes i am thinking that he's angry in how society has changed. Morality is dead in Travis's mind and decency has died. Some ways he acts as a vigilante to change the wrongs of society. But before Travis does that he goes through changes. The beginning of the movie Travis is a normal working guy keeps to himself. Along the way meeting Betsy and getting dumped was the first step, shooting the mugger at the bodega, second step and third step meeting Iris helping her escape from Matthew the pimp. Watching this movie for the eight time my perception of Travis Bickle has changed some what. Before i thought he was a normal guy fed up with life taking it out on People. Now i feel when he goes to help Iris later on in the movie and Last five min. he's redeeming himself in the sense of paying it forward.
