I told my dad that some people call Taxi Driver/Travis Bickle misogynist, and he told me he thought it was whatever the opposite of that was (Misandrist) because Travis has uncontrollable urges to kill every man he meets. So basically he says yeah Travis is actually a Misandrist not a Misogynist at all.Is this a normal reading of the movie?
>>217034471Only if you are a fucking retard that needs to put everything he sees in a box with a label and pretend you understand it.
Travis literally picks up a dude who talks about putting a gun in his wife’s pussy and he’s like ‘la la la’ just sitting there and listening to him. No response. No judgment or retaliation. He’s kinda just observing and listening.
>>217035230That's literally how I would react lol
>>217035230He goes and buys that exact model of gun after being dumped by Stacy
>>217034471>A character from 1970s is misogynistWhy is this a shocker?
>>217035320Fuck feminism my dude. The world we live in has unnatural gender roles/relations the 70s were normal and healthy.
He’s like Hamlet where his sexual disgust at women (in Hamlet it’s his mother and Ophelia) sends him into a psychopathic rage at society as a whole. Both Hamlet & Travis’ big complaint is how filthy and corrupt the world is, and female impurity is their main symbol for it. Feminists will complain that this is misogyny, but it’s male chivalry gone wrong. Their homicidal rage towards men is their desire to protect the purity of women mixed with despair and disgust.
>>217035230>He’s kinda just observing and listening.And that's what no one did.
>>217034471Your dad is a big brain seer of truth
