      This shows you what is going on inside the mind of someone that is a mass shooter too. This isn't about gun laws so much as about the mental health state people like this get into that causes them to not only want to kill many others, but themselves. They are suicidal.
      History is going to look back at our time now as psychologically barbaric as we look back at leeches in the middle ages.

    This scene is also, I believe, the last piece of cinematic scoring done by Bernard Hermann, Hollywood’s “Beethoven of existential dread” before he died in 1974. Hitchcock’s go-to composer for decades.
    Greatly contributed to “nailing” the overall dark mood of this film. Excellent choice by Scorsese and the film’s producers.

      Well to justify his grandiose self image, hero archetype, and his persona as a government agent, It would probably be someone equally as bad, or mostly as bad. But there is also some notion that if this kept happening and going on, the killings would get far more indiscriminate.

    Watching this movie for the first time back in March of this yr, this was a shocking and very disturbing moment. The violence feels so real despite it being fake, and the lack of music makes this eerie and hard to watch, as you're watching Travis brutally kill 3 men, saving Iris from child exploitation but he no doubt traumatized her for life. This scene is a perfect mix of realistic acting, excellent filmmaking and directing and best of all: excelling at capturing how a haunting and violent this scene got.

      If you count the shots during the shootout, you'll notice that the gangster fired 5 shots out of his revolver (meaning it had 1 bullet left) and Travis fired 7 shots out of his pistol (meaning he emptied the entire clip). Then he picked up the revolver and fired the last bullet at the old man's head.
      That's why both guns were empty when he tried to commit suicide.

    One of the greatest pieces of acting I've ever seen. From everyone in that scene.

    Awesome scene, but I never understood how Sport could make his way up the stairs with a bullet in his gut.

    Harvey Keitel is good at playing complete scumbags. Between this and Bad Lieutenant.

    When I first watched this in 1976, the Mohawk haircut that Bickel had was beyond bizarre. (The idea of bizarre hair at its most extreme at that time was Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten.) When I next saw the movie 20 years later, the Mohawk looked pretty ordinary, and the strangest thing was Keitel's platform shoes. So it's a little hard to convey the effect the Mohawk had at the time the movie was first released. It was clear that Bickel was completely round the bend.

    1:36 This part to me represents the fact that he doesn't really know what he's about to do. Came up with it on the spot. Just like trying to gun down that senator and failing.
