It's crazy
This guy was pulling girls
He was in shape
He made a ton of money
He dressed and looked well
And he was considered an extreme loser in the 70s

he wasn't a loser, when he meets up with the other taxi drivers you can tell he's just autistic.

Everyone knows this is posted by the local pol agitation shill regularly to try and create a mass shooting right?
>>
>>220550720
>mass shooting
Of child traffickers?
>>
unfortunately for him, and from what I remember to no fault of his own, he was socially awkward and pretty much out of touch with society in general
>>
>>220550475
He had ptsd, the whole movie is about Vietnam
>>
>>220550475
He was just a weird fella. Nothing insurmountable really, he just had to fish a little more.
>>
the whole point of the betsy storyline is that she initially mistakes his social retardation for him being uncommonly bold and sincere and she's charmed by it until she realizes what an awkward freak he really is. if you go back and watch the movie every woman he interacts with is wary of him because they're interacting with him in the context of shit like him patronizing porno theaters, but he confidently waltzes into the campaign office betsy works at one day so she doesn't have the proper context for him. there is absolutely no sense in which he was "pulling girls".

Things have gotten so bad that Travis is now considered a chad 50 years later. Society has fallen.
>>
>>220551961
But there’s no point. He clearly dies at the end of the shootout, and the weirdly positive ending to the child prostitutes story is his dying hallucination, trying to convince himself his death served a purpose. He didn’t save the girl, she would just find another pimp, and the same apartment complex he died in would eventually be used for more crimes, likely of a similar nature.

Please kill some big politicians, especially if you're American.
>>
>>220552014
No, he doesn’t. He lives, due to him not killing his original target and killing the right kind of people he’s mistaken for a hero, he doesn’t get the help he needs or face justice, and no doubt he’ll spiral and go off again. The people who made the film have said it’s not a dream ending
>>
>>220550475
He’s able to scrub himself up ok and pass himself briefly off as decent and intriguing to people who don’t know him well yet, but that’s all

I don't think he died. What I took from it was that he really was getting hailed as a hero but he was still in a coma, and his vision of Betsy was just a dream. Him flinching at the rear view mirror reminded me of how I sometimes get startled by seemingly nothing while having a dream.

>>220552233
Wait what scene is this again? The Henry Krinkle one?
>>
>>220552233
>He believes he is curesd, therefore he is
Oh is that my problem?
>>
>>220552371
... Do you believe you are cursed?
Because, yes, if you do, that's a problem...
>>
>>220552346
When he goes to Betsy’s workplace to try and volunteer

>>220550475
travis isn't a loser, he's a shellshocked schizo
