The film, Taxi Driver, seemed to have many mysteries behind it after the discussion we had in class. The major thing that is making me wondering is whether or not if the whole film was meant to seem like a dream. It seemed as though Travis, a taxi driver, driving through the city thinking about himself being the hero of the city and also making a difference within the city. 

The film begins with Travis who is in the city and he just takes a job as a taxi driver; doesn't think about anything except for earning money, but then realizes about all of the things that is happening in the city when he is doing his job. He thinks about how the people are treating others like dirt, so he dresses up as a tough guy and thinks that he can change those things around.

All of this comes up to the point where he meets a young girl, Iris, who is throwing her life away for the people that are taking an advantage of her. This is seems like a dream after all since Travis is being this big, tough guy where he thinks that he can help change Iris’s life around. It also seems like he is doing all of this just to help a young girl live her life the right way as a regular teenager who should have respect she deserves. At the very end, he did kill several people, but he did get thanks from Iris’s parents for what he done. Travis later saw Iris in his backseat having a successful life that she should have had at the very beginning.
