You Talking To Me?

With this title, I guarantee that most of you dear readers know exactly what today’s post is. Undoubtedly one of the greatest actors in one of his greatest roles, Robert De Niro, as Travis Bickle, is a Vietnam vet suffering the classic signs of PTSD syndrome - paranoia, insomnia, depression…. He takes a job as a cab driver in some of the roughest areas of New York City. When the object of his love spurns him, he becomes even more dangerous and his life spirals even deeper into a whirlpool of anger and violence. Until he saves the life of another love interest, played by Jodi Foster. This little affair inspired a real life assassin (see Hinckley, John Jr.)

But nearly everyone knows this role from only one scene, where Bickle is practicing his tough guy act in front of a mirror, where he asks the classic question…..

Next time someone challenges you on anything, you will no doubt channel your inner Travis Bickle.
