Am I Looking at Me???



& to those who keep banging on about the 'tacked-on' ending of Taxi Driver...can it and grow up. The director was Catholic and the writer was Calvanist...further...they were both heavily influenced by Bresson.  Take another look at 'Diary of a Country Priest'.  This was an allegory, a redemptive tale. Travis Bickle died...redeemed (saving Iris from her enslavement) & went to paradise. Marty claims he believed Travis was severely mentally ill & lived to kill again (sequel possibilities) but he doesn't know his own mind. Travis...like Maximus...died in a worthy cause and went to Elysium. Simple.  

Now stop looking at me.
