Don't Let Yourself Become Like Travis Bickle | Understanding Taxi Driver

Travis Bickle is undoubtedly one of the most iconic characters in cinema history: A man who fought in the Vietnam War, then came back and became a taxi driver, having a hard time getting things back on track. Has no friends, no purpose and just no motivation to do anything about it. It's like he's stuck in a rut and can't seem to find a way out.

For Travis Bickle, after going through a tough war, it was really hard to adjust to regular life. So it's no surprise that he might start feeling lost and lonely, not knowing their purpose anymore, and these feelings lead him to depression and laziness. But, what if these feelings eventually reach a breaking point and turn into violence? What happens?
