How is this still the most relatable film of all time?
How come this movie is now condemned as fascist chud media, when it's literally just a isolated young man disillusioned with the evils of modern society?
>>215135885who says it's that
"Muh loneliness" is a jewish psy-op, most men appreciate the unlimited peace and quiet
>>215135906you can enjoy and still dislike it at times as well
>boredom equals depressionfucking weaklings. good movie but it attracts such whiny trannies>>215135906This. You can tell these kids have never lived with a woman who wasnt mommy before.
>>215136358he's right, virgy
>>215136358lol you get mad quick. recent break-up? puberty hormones?
>>215135906you've probably never been truly lonely, naturally people die without a tribe, you can be very self sufficient and not require much socialization but isolation inherently eats away at you, being stuck in your head all the time fucks up your brain over time, i hate people but i go weeks without speaking a word to anyone and haven't had a conversation with a girl in years, it gnaws at you sometimes and turns you completely indifferent to the world and yourself, without an other you have no value beyond your current means of survival.
>hurr durr redpill podcast speech dialogue tree
>>215135885no one says that besides alt art ho's online that secretly want to be (consensually) raped and dominated by a chud
>>215135885your victimhood is showing fag
>>215136683yeah but it's your choice to be alone like thatgoing to weeks without speaking a word to anyone?you chose that.I can understand struggling to connect, but you're making zero effort and then complaining about it
>>215136769whether i chose to or not is completely irrelevant brainlet, i could be somebody working an isolating job like on a ship or oil platform, are you even a real person?
>>215136683you've probably never been truly a man. this goes double if you're still in your 20s
>>215136813but you aren’t though, your hypothetical is irrelevant to the fact you could talk to other people and don’tyou would also talk to people on a ship or oil platform
>>215135853I don't relate to him. I relate to Rust.
>>215136813nta but it absolutely is relevant lmao. retard.
>>215136848>>215136853you can be an introvert who doesn't require much socialization and also feel lonely, to act otherwise is retarded, not sure what the point of your meaningless "not-real-manisms" is, you probably got lost on the way to facebook or something, nobody thinks you're tough for being a fat old fuck who hates his wife, it just makes you pathetic and retarded.
>>215136940people aren't "allowed" to feel feelings? you "people" are hysterical.
Watching "men" complain about something as basic as loneliness is pathetic. They usually unconsciously adopt the kind of retarded victimhood addiction that SJWs poisoned themselves with. I don't trust them for the same reason why feminists don't trust those Nice Guy types, assuming that's still even an issue.
>>215136973feeling =/= complaining
Man up, you pussies.
>>215135853>I'm not gonna lie. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. >well. It isn't Bertrand fuckin Russell. To be honest, I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about
>>215135885Bc DAS RACIST
>>215135906You'll see once your parents die anon. It's the difference of having the choice or not, that's what made people lose it during covid.
>>215136999strawmanning =/= arguments
>>215136949i didnt call you not a man, all i did was point out the objective truth that you have chosen to not speak to anyone for weeksit is something 100% under your controlif you wish it to change, it is entirely possible to changeas such, do not complaint about speaking to no one for weeks as if it is some involuntary thing - i am an empathetic person, but i am not an enabler of bad thinking
>>215137064nta but my dad died over 20 years ago. anymore appeals to emotion?
>>215137023Peter Boyle's character was making some good points about how you become your job, it undermined my sympathy for Travis when he dismissed it out of hand. Although, I guess one of the points of the film is that Travis wasn't actually that smart, hence why he had no proper way of channeling all of his emotional turmoil. Also, the idea of Travis bringing his date to a porno theater was pretty ridiculous. What was Schrader thinking with that?
>I'm so fucking hardcore man I don't need nuffin and nobody. Being alone makes you a rugged brawny alpha male>you socialize with people? Fucking faggot. You're not an alpha male like me Hahahahaha
>>215137107i never complained about it and don't complain about it, thats shit you just made up so you can feel better about yourself and be a tough guy online kek. all i said was you can not care much about people and still feel lonely, i said "feel", not "complain about" don't come to me with this faggy preachy shit when you're probably a diabetic dysgenic mutt with an iq of 87.
>>215137107this kid is probably just grounded and having a hormonal temper tantrum, there's no point trying to reason with him.
>>215137129 >>215137086
>>215135853>How is this still the most relatable film of all time?sorry wrong image
>>215137108Is your whole family dead?It depends how retarded you want to act. If you actually think losing your family would be an appeal to emotion you're too far gone.
>>215137155>still feel lonelyJust go outside and talk to people champ, still not sure what your issue is.
>>215137155>it gnaws at you sometimes and turns you completely indifferent to the world and yourself, without an other you have no value beyond your current means of survival.this counts as complaining if you weren't aware, I understand you may be pretty disconnected from your emotions though
>>215135906Maybe in a place where you can do a real job and be in touch with nature, not in a rat cage shithole city doing menial things to make your boss richer
>>215137200>Is your whole family dead?obviously not and I will be very heartbroken when my mom passes, but i know how to be at peace alone because i wasn't raised by nogs.>If you actually think losing your family would be an appeal to emotionGood thing I never said or implied that, and maybe if you didn't have the reading comprehension of some junkie dropout, you'd realize I was talking about your argument's arbitrary pivot towards bereavement, not the concept or phenomenon of bereavement itself.
/tv/ isn't your diary nor your therapist, fuck off fag
>>215137224i didn't say it was some kind of unmanagable thing, that seems to be your own emotional immaturity that you're projecting onto me, i'm sorry that you're stuck on the reading comprehension of an 8 year old dude. >>215137245it doesn't though, its just an objective fact, the monotony of the survival loop without a community is unnatural for a human being and slowly messes up your brain.
>>215135853Drive for people who think they're too deep and unique for Drive (i.e. most 18-25 year olds)
>>215137183>this was Ridley Scott's first fucking film>now he makes putrid dog shit like Napoleon and Gladiator 2What the FUCK happened.I get not having the spark that you have when you're young at 80 but holy shit dude.
>>215137196HAD, not have. A for effort, though.
I watched Taxi Driver for the first time with my normalfag cousin and when it ended we said nothing. Then a month later he saw that I had bought the bluray and said the movie was pure kino
low iq boomers with dangerously declining test levels all believe they would be one of those action movie guys who left civilization to live in a shed in the woods and be happy perpetually hunting bears barehanded, until a bad guy came along and then they'd be ready to be the big badass survivalist or something. in reality none of that exists, the few isolated ultra-ruralites are schizophrenic drunks/junkies or severely traumatized retards. if not people with big families who inherited their place in a tightly knit small community. its like the last boomer power fantasy where their mere existence is supposed to be masculine and tough with the most childish and naive view of physical reality.
>>215137265What pivot? Not having your family and being lonely is a jewish psyop? Maybe you'll understand once your mom dies and you no longer have the option to see her anymore.You're an edgelord retard not worth bothering with.
This thread devolved into reddit-tier shenanigans quite quickly.
>>215137410
>>215137108how fucking old are you 60?
>>215137549His dad probably died when he was young so he probably barely knew him.
>>215137549no>>215137621we were best friends and knew each other extremely well
>>215137738>knew each other extremely well>dad died 20 years agoIs this one of the election boomers
>>215135853Because you're 20-something and have no idea what real struggle and hardship looks like?
>>215138009whats real struggle and hardship? did you get raped?
>>215138135you can get raped a dozen times and lose half your family and that still isn't life experience. one doesn't know true devastation until they have to pay bills and going to a boring 9 to 5 every day for years
>>215138181i agree, real manhood starts when you lose your masculinizing hormones and vitality
>nooo stacy wont give me sexjust jack off you dumb pajeet
Notice how there has never has been a female equivalent Taxi Driver.The only one I can kinda consider is Carrie, but she actually gets revenge on her bullies and mother so she technically wins in the end. Travis however kills some pimps and dies to a bullet wound with some whore by his side, who didn't actually love him anyway. It's supposed to be bitter-sweet but ultimately, it isn't.
>>215135853If you relate to a miserable retard seeing spooks in every corner and blaming the world for it maybe that's on you.
>>215138342>its travis' fault 70s new york was a degenerate shithole with child prostitutes and niggers everywherekek
>>215138327Also I just read my own post again, ESL moment FML. I need to sleep.
>>215135885Because fascist chudism is also just isolated young men disillusioned with the evils of modern society. Hitler rose to power solely because people were sick of the jews fucking up their country.
>>215135885men aren't allowed to have problems.
>>215135853I didn't find it relatable at all. The protagonist is an autistic retard.
>>215138009>normalfag living in western country larps like they understand struggle and hardship
>>215135853it's been superseded in certain circles
>>215137129There’s a difference between socializing with others and becoming oversocialized cattle, meaning allowing society to shape and control your behavior, thoughts, and morality to the point where your individuality is erased and you become cattlebrained: an insentient blob of flesh whose sole purpose is to enforce regulatory behaviors established by the elites because they can’t stand slaves unshackling themselves and doing something that may threaten their position.
>>215137344
Deniro was relentlessly handsome
>>215135906Nigger
>>215135906>most men appreciate the unlimited peace and quietThat's true, but being alone and being lonely are two different things
>>215135885you understand you live in a world of false victimhood and disillusion right?
>creepy incel loser>just walks up to a 10 and asks her out >she says yes>takes her to a porno and freaks her out>forgives him and still wants to see himYeah real relatable
>>215135853This film was so boring
>>215137064So why didn't I lose it during covid?
>>215136683No anon, what you described actually scared me a little and reminded me of when I was a neet, I’ll never be able to have a normal conversation again because I only talked to my parents and 4chan for 3 years straight you really get lost in your own head thinking about things from your past. I’m a wagie now and my co workers think I’m the weirdest person who’s occasionally or very annoying when I try to talk, but then they don’t like it when I don’t talk and keep to myself so I dunno what to do anymore, it’s very harrowing, also haven’t talked to a single soul going back to school
>>215135885>man disillusioned with the evils of modern societyTravis wasnt fucked up because of le society bad, actually the pedo pimp gave his life meaning and unfucked his life - he went from being aimless to being driven and motivated and when he sacrificed himself the community rewarded him>im4 ending was a dreamits unironically confirmed by the writer not to be a dream
>>215141983not a valid criticism, kid
>>215141983Not enough flying and explosions for you fag?
>>215142002NEET life is the worst fucking meme to fall forIt's the closest thing to time travel we have right now
>>215142328>It's the closest thing to time travel we have right nowI've travelled roughly 15 years in about 3 years time.
>give all your money to a prostitute and fight a career criminal no thanks
>>215135885Travis' central issue is that he's a degenerate hypocrite that does all the things he blames society for doing. He's a pill popping, porn addicted, violent psychopath. His loneliness is self imposed, his misery is self imposed.In that sense he truly is written for chuds but instead of taking the right lesson from the film, they idolize these character flaws. Your way out this misery isn't by blaming the world on all your problems, you're not gonna get better by seething about trannies while secretly jerking off to them. >He (Travis Bickle) says I have to live a pure life, and he's popping pills. My favorite line in the script is "A person should not live a life of morbid self attention." That's all he does is live a life of morbid self attention. He despises the gutter world of pornography, yet that's what he goes and sees. It's essentially a contradictory life that has to resolve itself, and in the uneducated world of this character it resolves it self in the very American way of taking a gun and attacking someone else." - Paul Schrader
>>215135906this, or at least they come to appreciate it
>>215135885>How come this movie is now condemned as fascist chud media, Nobody "condemns" taxi driver
>>215141727His kids will be blessed with those genes. They must be good looking too!
>>215135853I'm not lonely, in fact the inability to escape to solitude has followed me everywhere
>>215135853Taxi driver is about metaphysical loneliness. Its a movie about trying to find love in a godless world. Men instinctually get it. Fags and women never will.
You know who lives there?
Taxi Driver is just "The Notebook" for guys
>>215142328This is true, although having a decent job now, working a lot, my week flies man, the classic work-sleep-makefood-work-sleep-etc is a time melternow I understand the>free time, money, health - you can only pick pick two
>>215135853>Why am I a moody sad faggot still trying to exist through Travis, a retard
>>215139792Sure. Is that what you think was being described here
>>215144644>A janny
>>215135853Boring slop. Joker did it better
>>215138327He doesn't die at the end
>>215135853this film was supposed to be about Arthur Bremer but Scorsese was too pussy to make it real, so he made this instead and then didn't hold back for Raging Bull, the much better film
