Today's fabulously violent viewing

As Scott put in his presentation, Scorsese's work is violent. Today the film took a very sharp turn and so much happened so fast. One of the big scenes that hit me was when Travis and Iris were alone together for the first time. I think it was the best evidence to the argument that Travis is a good person because he refused to do anything sexual with Iris because she was so young and didn't want to take advantage of anything. All he wanted to do is get her out of there so she can have the kind of life that she deserves. Of course, later, when he shoots up her building and is sitting there all bloody with a gun in his hand was bad and I'm sure Iris did not appreciate it. However, him killing those guys is more evidence to the fact of how mislead and immature he is. By killing those guys, he thinks he is helping Iris and will maybe get her good side for it, but he doesn't understand how things work. You can't just kill people if you don't like them. Unless you have no problem with prison.


I look forward to see what happens in the end of the film.
