I've watched Taxi driver couple of times and some questions always come to my mind, why did Travis try to kill senator Palatine? Travis said he would like to clear the streets of New York, there is to many scums out there but I think he doesn't see senator as a scum, is it then because of Betsy? She refuses him, she doesn't look up to him, he is angry and I believe Betsy sees senator Palatine as her father figure, someone she admires and Travis knows that and he attempts to kill him. Thats my theory.
And also, I've read some stuff about ending not really being real, like all of that just didn't happend, that he imagined it because he wanted to be recognized by society as a hero. Scorsese said it was all real, but really when you think about it, you can't unsee some facts. After all he is a bit of a crazy man.
Would like to know what you all think about it
