>he’s never LARPed in front of the mirror before like this practicing social situations

he was a creep from the beginning just like taxi drivers IRL the fact that he went beyond that to write his little diary was something that paul schrader put in every single one of his characters it's like he can't make another trait to them other than that good representation of lonely to schizo pipeline

Do you also try to assassinate politicians for no reason?

he's a traumatized Nam veteran

Paul Schrader is a hack without Scorsese and that soundtrack that movie is a 6/10

There is nothing to indicate he was traumatized from nam. He just acts like he has Asperger's the whole movie

These movies where a man e wronged by society already start the story with the man already deep in his own fuck up.
A female version wouldn't likely go there ever. Even something like Harley Quinn kept bringing positivity in her being true to herself, even if she was a psychopath

He spends the movie wearing a veterans jacket, has a captured Vietcong flag in his apartment, wears a US MARINE T-shirt and reverts to wearing a mohawk by the end

he lied on the form because he lives in a fantasy world
