    So brutal that he tries to kill himself at the end as well but has run out of bullets. Really exemplifies the mental state he’s in by the end of the movie.

      This shows you what is going on inside the mind of someone that is a mass shooter too. This isn't about gun laws so much as about the mental health state people like this get into that causes them to not only want to kill many others, but themselves. They are suicidal.
      History is going to look back at our time now as psychologically barbaric as we look back at leeches in the middle ages.

    This scene is also, I believe, the last piece of cinematic scoring done by Bernard Hermann, Hollywood’s “Beethoven of existential dread” before he died in 1974. Hitchcock’s go-to composer for decades.

    Watching this movie for the first time back in March of this yr, this was a shocking and very disturbing moment. The violence feels so real despite it being fake, and the lack of music makes this eerie and hard to watch, as you're watching Travis brutally kill 3 men, saving Iris from child exploitation but he no doubt traumatized her for life. This scene is a perfect mix of realistic acting, excellent filmmaking and directing and best of all: excelling at capturing how a haunting and violent this scene got.

      Well to justify his grandiose self image, hero archetype, and his persona as a government agent, It would probably be someone equally as bad, or mostly as bad. But there is also some notion that if this kept happening and going on, the killings would get far more indiscriminate.

      If you count the shots during the shootout, you'll notice that the gangster fired 5 shots out of his revolver (meaning it had 1 bullet left) and Travis fired 7 shots out of his pistol (meaning he emptied the entire clip). Then he picked up the revolver and fired the last bullet at the old man's head.
      That's why both guns were empty when he tried to commit suicide.

    This is a very visceral scene. It stayed with me for a long time.

    Scorsese and DeNiro’s best movie.

    A lot of this film exists only in Travis' head and a lot of what he says in the film is a lie. For example, he claims to be a Vietnam vet, but he's not

      a lot of it is certainly an illusion - especially the ending - although i can't see why he couldn't have been an actual Vietnam vet in particular, of all things

      See his back scar and the newspaper at the end. He was in the special forces, apparently.
