@TheCanvasArtHistory Is Wrong About Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver)
Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" (1976) is a much loved, yet often misunderstood film. Travis Bickle's character is correctly perceived to be a loner with mental problems, but everything from his line of work, to his scattershot insights, to the role of luck of Travis Bickle's life, isn't given enough attention.
In this video, writers Alex Sheremet and Ezekiel Yu critique @TheCanvasArtHistory's video essay on the film: "Taxi Driver, Purposeless Jobs and Alienation".
