WHY does she go out with him?

>>80188202
She probably could tell he was a little socially awkward, but she wanted to give him a chance and see what he's like once you get to know him. Unfortunately, she found out he was just a lousy, perverted guy.

>>80188202
He dresses nice, he's bold, he doesn't care about the politics, he correctly guesses her feeling about her job and he makes her think on the spot about going out with him.

You can do it to. I believe.

>In the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains, Bickle was named the 30th greatest film villain of all time.
How is he a villain exactly?

>>80188306
Because he was a young angry white male virgin.

>>80188202

Baby Bobby D is cute. CUTE!

>>80188306

He tried to murder a senator. Did you watch the movie?

>>80188306
Because he's a Trump supporter.

cybill shepherd was smokin back in the day

Cause he's a prophet and a pusher, partly truth, partly fiction. A walking contradiction

Fuck this thread. I'm giving up

>>80188261
this is why you should never give "nice guys" a chance

>>80188202
Because she hadn't yet seen his power level. It isn't that difficult for a marginally attractive robot to get a FIRST date.

take hot bird to porno, good idea champ.

>>80188400
Who the fuck are you talking to?

>>80188340
He's the protagonist though. And didn't actually go through with the murder plot and ended up redeeming himself by saving the prostitute from a life of destitution.
He's more of an anti-hero I'd say.

>>80188374
damn breh

Shit this was supposed to be aimed at >>80188397

he tried to kill an innocent man
film 101 : protagonist =/= hero

>>80188292
p much this

the boldness is the main part though.

>>80188306
hes clearly more of an anti hero with severe psychological problems. he was mad at the world that rejected him, much like /tv/. losing the girl was the final straw so he tries and fails to kill the senator wanting to go out big and having done something meaningful. after that he does a little reexamination and convinces himself he'll be a hero for saving the girl, and he genuinely felt bad for her. and then the ending is ambiguous because despite being a "hero", you know hes a very unwell man who should be receiving treatment not simply free to live in society, and so you dont know if its real or his own fantasy

>>80188202
>ITT characters who are literally you

plz stahp I can't take it

>>80188261
After seeing that he was the guy just staring at her from his cab, I would think she be worried about leading him on but I hear you.

>>80188292
These are very good points. He did have the balls to just come right up to her.

>>80188406
That's kinda scary, but he drives a cab. He has no ambition whatsoever. That should have set off some bells but I guess she was just giving him the benefit of the doubt.

What did he do wrong? Because as they're walking into the theater, you can see other couples. Clearly she was just a prude.

>>80188596
schizotypal personality disorder

He needs to get organizized

So what was the purpose of the Scorcese scene with the cheating wife?

>>80188596
Calculated mistake. Regardless, what wrong with it? Right as they walk in, you can see another couple sitting there, so it's not like he's the first one to do so.

What, sing? Hardly a very difficult or rare skill. Can Cybill speak pretty much every Romance language as well as English and German?

>>80188970
Cybill's singing is a universal language.

>>80188853
It think it's where he gets the idea to shoot palantine. In his mind, Betsy is like the guys wife, and Palantine is the nigger. Travis sees people bring prostitutes to the porno theater, so he figures it's a good place for a date. He doesn't really understand what normal human behavior is other than what he observes around him.

>>80189062
Diane Kruger makes Cybill look like a gypsy's streetside dropping.

Waifuism is the social lubricant of /tv/. It brings us together and gives us something to talk about. And for what it's worth I respect you for having an older waifu.

>3D

A waifu is not about looks but personality as well. But how can you know the real personality of a celebrity if you don't know them personally?

I like it because it's the only movie I've seen that has a relatable main character.

>>80190245
Point is that with a fictional character you see their personality since you observe them. With a celebrity all you know is their public persona. If you think anime is trash then don't use anime terms.

>>80190373
The animator has to create all of their actions and choose what they're going to say though. It's more artificial than a celebrity because it's 100% not real whereas you can still see glimpses of a celebrities personality.

Did I say anime was trash? I said anime waifus are trash

>>80190472
>It's more artificial

That's the point. Waifus have an idealistic personality most real people can't match.

>>80190367
im sure theres people who do it
seems strange to me every time i watch it though
common to get pie with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream
maybe bickle doesnt care to differentiate between dairy foods

>>80190367
Apple pie with melted cheese is what Ed Gein (the real life serial killer which inspired The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) insisted the police bring him in exchange for a confession (it was one one his favorite meals). De Niro added this bit in to make Travis seem more unhinged.

He was mysterious and confident, 2 attractive features of a man.

he also made a blanket assumption about her, which made her feel special. Again, women love that.

What I don't get is when they go to the cinema, as they are about to go in she says "This is a dirty movie" and smirks, like she's sort in to it. What did she mean by this?

>>80188915
