Travis Bickle revisited
7 November 2008
I'm impressed, I'm very impressed. OK for a good part of the film I felt that we already know all this of Mark Chapman off the likes of many a documentation. I was a wee disappointed the film gets nothing or very little of his little people in his younger days. Now on a more positive note is the strong magnifying attention to detail, these two men, both the assassin and his victim had so much in common, only difference being that from the similar background Lennon walked out the front door and Chapman the back. I'm sure this film is very much felt later on whether the man ought to be forgiven or not at this point. Human psychology and the way people effect each other is one of the most impressive subjects on the planet. Madness is but the devil's diagnosis, our subject is much more delicate than that. Consider how Chapman did not murder Lennon immediately when he got his autograph for a moment there he was so happy. He(Chapman) wanted to find some value in life, A thing all around him he recognized too late. Time has come for me to read The Catcher In The Rye.
