Taxi Driver
Towards the end of the movie Taxi Driver it seemed that Travis Bickle played by the actor Robert De
Niro wanted to be caught. First of all, Bickle admits to Iris that he thinks he will be going away for
some time showing that Bickle knows what is to come and that he has accepted that. Also, when he
is saying this to Iris, Bickle's face seems to tense like he knows that he is saying the truth.
The next element of the film that shows that Bickle wants to be caught is when his hair is shaved into
a mow hawk. This type of haircut is more uncommon than not, and is much more noticeable than
Bickle's former hairstyle.
Do you think Bickle the protagonist wanted to be caught?
