It's not a case where we're meant to question whether or not Travis is "crazy" from the beginning. The movie shows you what the life of such a desperate person is like.

Reply to It's been said before, but I dislike how the PG rating has effectively replaced the G rating for animated movies. by Zealousideal_Art2159
There is no "accurate" rating in the first place; it's entirely arbitrary and the MPA is a joke.

Couldn't tell ya. I've liked both her and the film since I was a child.

Sometimes, throwing people's grime back in their face can be a necessary wake-up call. Taxi Driver said a lot about post-Vietnam New York and a particular ugliness about America that needs to be addressed from time to time. You can wave your hand about "society" all you like, but you're only able to minimize the message because you don't see any of the context. By your own words, you didn't understand. It's evident.
