Yes?
Yes
Worse, he was based. And when you know your based, the universe is yours.
This question comes up a lot. You need to remember that until the 1970s porn was illegal and was sold by an underground market as 8mm smut films that could be viewed with the same projectors people used for home movies. When porn became something that could be exhibited legally in the 70s there was kind of a fad to normalize going to see an adult film with a female who was not 'uptight' the movies themselves had much more story than today's porn and some people thought graphic sex would be the future of Hollywood films.
I am 15 and have read Wikipedia: the post
It was over the second she saw him take out his hdmi cable
Travis only went to porno theaters. He saw other people in those theaters. So, he thought people casually went there. Thus, taking Betsy there wasn't something out of the ordinary to him.
This, He literally says in the scene "No, it's cool, people do this all the time". And we've learned in prior scenes that he leads with his heart, not his head, and he doesn't take no for an answer. I have no clue how this still confuses idiots.
I am 16 and read Wikipedia last year but I know better than to post about it now: the post
it shows he's so far out of it that he thinks it's a normal thing to do on dates.
>buying snacks at the porno theater
Did Americans really do this?
In short, yes
Im gonna have to rewatch because I don't remember that scene.
This. He didn't even enjoy watching the porn, he went there because he thought it was the normal thing to do. I don't understand how people watch the movie and say he's a creep and he was trying to make her watch porn to fuck her
>retarded
I'd say schizotypal, but yeah
>Robert De Niro asked her out during the filming of Taxi Driver (1976). She turned him down, and he did not speak to her, except in character, for the rest of the filming. She later said that she regretted turning him down.
Was he just methoding her?
was this what caused his jungle fever?
>This. He didn't even enjoy watching the porn
i dont think that's right. He was clearly heterosexual or he would not have bothered talking to Cybil Shepard in the 1st place. Like any male he enjoyed watching naked women fucking.
He really doesn't look like he's enjoying it.

Retarded is a strange way to say Based.
My dad said that going to porn theatres was pretty common for people back in the day. And a bunch of people would go on dates there. But it was a lower class thing, and so the film is trying to show the class differences between Travis who is a former Marine and now a lowly taxi driver who is trying to court a high class woman who is only working for a political cause because its her latest hobby, ,not because she needs the money. Its a great scene because it shows Travis that Kar Marx was right and that class divisions are more important than other petty divisions like race. This is something we see throughout the film where Travis is hinted at being slightly racist. And so after Travis realizes that killing one corrupt political puppet controlled by the capitalists will not wash away the the capitalist system, he decides that he will kill the pimps who are keeping the proletariats down by having them focus on banging women rather than understanding class consciousness. And thus in the ending of the film where blondie comes into Travis's cab shows her inviting him to the upper class because they are now afraid of the lower class gaining class consciousness, but Travis understands that the upper class and capitalists are the garbage he wanted the rain to wash away and declines her invitation.
>class divisions are more important than other petty divisions like race
kek
I can't tell whether you are trolling, or college gave you brain damage
Ya, thats why I mentioned that he later learns from this and he goes after the white capitalists who are forcing racial divisions between the lower class of society.
Exactly. All he does is work and sleep, he knows nothing about culture, music or cinema. He doesn't understand the women he sees at the theaters are prostitutes, not real dates.
it's truly astonishing how retarded leftists are
No he becomes disillusioned by the political process and tries to fix the issues he has with his community. He emphasizes with the people around him and instead of waiting for some politician to fix it he goes out and does it himself. He gets himself hurt, but in his eyes he solved the problem.
I need to watch the movie again but he gets rejected and shit by the political campaigner but the prostitute takes a liking to him. He helps the people who he likes and that like him back. It's more of a criticism on the government and politicians at large rather than a specific issue.
heh sorry kid, but you just did
he even tried hitting on the nigress, trvais was 100% a fucking retard, thats why he was an ex soldier (massive retard) and could only drive a cab
>My dad said that going to porn theatres was pretty common for people back in the day.
