@Pluuuut0 Actually, that doesn’t happen in Taxi Driver! Travis stops her from unbuckling his belt and says he doesn’t want to sleep with her

[Burt @Burt434347]

The artist doesn’t dictate how the art should be perceived. Nothing in Taxi Driver indicates Travis is a pedo (or a racist really)

[Carljob 🇵🇸 🇮🇪 @bornposting]

Scorsese & Schrader have both said that the implication is that he is but views himself as too much of a hero to admit it

[Burt @Burt434347]

@Bullittindahead @souljagoytellem True! I believe the context is that he’s saying he’s the only cabby that *does* give them rides.

[Burt @Burt434347]

@Smowol_Luwucy @EPM106 Yeah that’s exactly what I’m arguing. The only reasonable source from which to analyze a film, is the film.

[Burt @Burt434347]

@FeauxDoadles Bro there are other ways to be a fucked up human than being racist lol

[Burt @Burt434347]

@owens_demos @DakinMorgan Was sleeping! Sorry

@Bullittindahead

[Burt @Burt434347]

@Bullittindahead Haha no no, I’m absolutely not defending Travis morally. Racism is not the only way for a person to be morally corrupt.

[Burt @Burt434347]

@BadFilmTakes1 Actually, not true! He flirts with the black concessions girl near the beginning. You might’ve missed that.

[Burt @Burt434347]

@FintanBrennan5 Watching it on my phone! Not missing anything.

[Burt @Burt434347]

@FintanBrennan5 A bunch! Watching it right now

[Burt @Burt434347]

@souljagoytellem It’s illogical that he would not say how he feels when completely alone. He spills his soul in every other way, but when it comes to racism he’s suddenly super reserved and subtextual?

[Burt @Burt434347]

@souljagoytellem True.

The point of my reference though is that Travis has a long list of the types of people he wishes to eradicate. He never specifies race. Even when talking/journaling to himself privately

[Burt @Burt434347]

@GriffinResident He flirts with the black concessions girl! He pays back Charlie T!

[Burt @Burt434347]

@muaddibstyle @DakinMorgan That’s wild. Don’t really see the relevance though.

@foundationDlips I’m deliriously tired

[Burt @Burt434347]

They kno i got that broccoli, so I keep that glock on me. Don’t get caught without one, coming from where I’m from. I gotta go to work.

[Burt @Burt434347]

True!

Popularity contest!
