it wasnt just autism, he's a fricked up guy. even an autist would take her to a pizza joint or maybe he knows a pretty secluded spot to take her and talk, even if he fricks up she might have thought it was endearing. he takes her to a dirty movie in a disgusting neighborhood. he's a creep.
it's because he doesn't realise he's in a movie, so he takes her to a movie, in the movie he's in, and the movie is of course a degredation of the cinema of the world he's in, which he fails to realise, and thinks he is distinct from.
So therefore when he looks at the black people in the cafe while failing to respond to the other cab drivers, he's not seeing either a hallucination, or real black people, he's seeing the edit. he cannot kill himself in the end, because the number of bullets spent belongs to the mise on scene.
Nah he was clearly fricked in the head, even before the war.
I've known people like Travis and 90% of the time I wonder what the frick goes on in their funny little brains.
>Says he was a marine >Acts like he's never seen a gun in his life throughout the movie >Has a paratrooper patch and non-existent company patch on his jacket (though this could be a goof) >Blatantly lies and says he's on a secret government mission twice
I think he was just a little unhinged.
when i hear the marine line im thinking unreliable narrator, like he was a wannabe bootboy but never joined, or maybe he did join and flunked out of training or something.

>>Acts like he's never seen a gun in his life throughout the movie
But he perfectly handled one and easily shot multiple contacts in a high stress enviroment. I don't know what kind of shit they teach in companies nor how easy it was to get info on how to do it; but building the gun deployment attachment on his arm didn't seem like something any laymen could do.
>has burns all down his back >>can’t sleep due too PTSD >goes into the jungle of New York like a warrior >probably saw some frickery with underage girls in vietnam
I thought it was because he felt like she was too good for him so he sabotaged it to see whether she would still like him
one time I had a gf and I started feeling like she was too good for me and so I told her that I had a box where I kept all my toenail clippings to see if she would still like me. we still dated but she broke up with me a month or two after that
he wanted to be like "see? this is who I am. you still like me??" in a kind of self-sabotaging way
He made a reasonable assumption that Betsy is the sort of girl who would be into watching porn in a seedy, cum-encrusted theater. Unfortunately his other assumption was that she would be into watching it with him, a low status non-WASP male.
At the end of the film he is smiling because he knows Iris will be of age in a few years, and he has laid the groundwork for her to see him as a hero. His future is bright.
No. It was to represent his 2 views of women. Jodie Foster's voice can be heard as an actor in the porn film. It is the attempt at reconciliation of the dichotomy of the prostitute/good girl roles of women in his life.
tbh I feel so detached from normal social cues that I feel like I would've made the same mistake back in the 70s thinking that European pornos were some classy art. I sometimes find myself saying stuff to girls that even during the conversation I know I'm totally not being appropriate but I just can't seem to stop myself because I just think about sex too much
Yes, autism and just general social ineptitude.

idk anon i think he was just a coomer
Nah he was clearly fricked in the head, even before the war.

I didn't understand shit
someone broke the bot
>are you talking to me?
he's talking to the audience, starting to wake up to the fact that he's in a movie.
jacques derrida you frick weren't you dead
he's autistic and deranged, he lives in a shitty environment, true, but he himself is corrupted too
he's like the people here, even with the right takes manages to autist their way into the very dumb shit they monger against
he thought it would be a romantic movie. could happen to anyone
This. Anyone who thinks otherwise is moronic. He saw “couples” going in there so he thought it would be all right to bring Betsy.
wasn't it obvious he had ptsd?

Why do you go on the internet to lie?

>acts like he never bought a gun from some shady dude in a hotel room
would be more accurate
>has burns all down his back
>>can’t sleep due too PTSD
>goes into the jungle of New York like a warrior
>probably saw some frickery with underage girls in vietnam
he’s got a vc flag hanging in his apartment, he’s definitely meant to be a vet
Yeah, probably. His behavior was completely autistic.

is that true

he doesn't smile at the end. he's something in his rearview that pisses him off.
it was a woman over the age of 25
it was a different time
most chicks werent prudes like Betsy
Travis was on a role to before the fricking porn theatre date. LOL.
homie fricked up right before getting laid.
based Black person "role" LMAO
The entire point of that scene was to really drive home just how detached he was from the rest of society.

>Jodie Foster's voice can be heard as an actor in the porn film.
Big if true
He is literally me but I'm gay
Do you want to be my bf?
Yeah let's go to the porn cinema

He didn't want to get stuck in the friend zone but he couldn't portray his intentions.
>eww no I don't want to watch that movie
>subscribe to my OnlyFans
No, it's because he's israeli
he was being ironic. she didn't get it.
