Did you call up Martin Scorsese yourself and ask him why he made Taxi Driver?

Actually the screenwriter came out and admitted that his friend got mugged so it inspired him to write the script of taxi driver. Im far from the 1st person with these critisms of taxi driver.

A script isn't a movie. That's like saying an engine is a car.

The same reason why people idolize Homelander and identify with him....
