He did die however. He died on that couch bleeding to death and the cops just watched. The rest of the movie is just in his head. A fantasy. I don't care what you say this is what happened This is how I want it to be.

Also, Travis did nothing wrong

I heard Scorsese said that he stayed "alive", but i honestly think it's just bullshit for justifying a sequel, and it's a lot more kiinographic and congruent if you consider he died.

Yeah someone told me that before but I refuse to see the movie that way. This is the way it has to be.

Not at all my uncultured friend. Travis being alive it's suppose to mean two things.
First: it's supposed to be an statement about society, the world that alienated Travis is now praising a man with PTSD as a hero instead of a violent man with issues(before this he tried to kill a senator).

Second: Travis now recovered (you can even see a scar on his neck) is back on the streets. The last shot of him looking at the rear window represents he is going to strike again, and this time he is probably going to hurt innocents.

I never understood how him looking back in the mirror was meant to signify that. Like I get it in theory, but the way it plays out doesn't seem to emphasize that angle very much

But it does. He violently looks at the window, like if he was being followed or threaten. There's a reason why the screen writer and Scorsese were really clear about explaing Travis not dying. This is word of god.

He's not a true robot because he actually went out on a date.

This

They -- or the screen-writer, anyway -- said the reason for Travis looking back is that those violent urges are always in the background, following him.

It's up to him to keep them in check.

Which ties in with him in a future snapping out again.

He had schizotypal personality disorder btw

i always thought this was meant to symbolize a distrust for his new surrounding, since he became idolized by the city he despised and made the peaces with Betsy. And even if that is correct (that he lived), why would Iris return to her home? Considering she said it was a shithole. You can interpret it as a simple edgy action but i don't think a teenager would leeaver her house and become a prostitute just for nothing.

They don't exactly walk out the house one day and say 'I'm going to New York to suck dick for a living.'
They usually hope for a waitressing job or something.

Yeah but i mean she said she was planning to leave Matthew to live in a commune in Vermont. That's still pretty rough considering she wasn't lying.
>>84589075
Well that's because he's partially based on Arthur Bremer

>>84589004
Potentially, yes.
