prove yourself? Revenge on society? neither!

I feel that the logic is unclear when I first watched the movie!

It's normal for a vulgar retired soldier to take his girlfriend to watch pornographic movies! Besides, in the office, Travis said angrily to Beth "go to hell". At this moment, I feel that it is not Beth not giving the chance, but Travis personally ruining the chance of reconciliation.

Just as the old driver said a man take his job, the job becomes what he is! (a man take his job will be deeply affected by the job), Travis’s driver friends look like a gangster, loose hair, casual clothes, and Travis really becomes what he is.

Revenge on society? Be a hero! When Travis said that he was here to save Alice instead of being fucked, her face was blank, and she knew that Travis was just a cab driver who wanted to be a hero but was embarrassed.

The life of Travis’s taxi drivers is very depressing.

Every day he has to face pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers, sober, dirty and bloody back seats, from time to time, the windows of the car are also smashed by gangsters, and even suffer from a husband whose wife cheated. Humiliation...

Such an unbearable life, Travis wants to change.

I ran into Palantine by chance in a taxi, hoping that the presidential candidate would manage the red light district after he was elected. Although the president said it was difficult and it was a "big change", he did not completely deny it.

At least Palantine is one of the hopes of life change. If the humiliation of life turns into hatred, we should not find hope for revenge. Palantine should not seek revenge.

right! The gangsters in the red light district should retaliate. But Travis went to Alice after he failed to assassinate the president. How did the subsequent shootout seem to be accidental. Hey~ The calm movie finally had some ups and downs at the end...

Prove yourself? Didn't say it in the movie! I didn't see it either!

Travis said he wanted to do something big, "taxi life you mean?" said the old driver. Unexpectedly, it is practicing marksmanship to kill...This is not to prove yourself, this is a psychopath...
