TAXI DRIVER AND THE RAGE OF THE INCEL by Stanley Yang. Travis Bickle makes the shape of a gun with his bloody hand, puts his finger to his head, and pulls the trigger. His face is not contorted but relaxed, as if he has achieved a kind of release, something close to an orgasm (01:42:47-01:43:11). Having just murdered three men in a brothel, Travis seems to have purged himself of an obsession—but what has he been released from? Martin Scorsese’s 1976 psychological thriller Taxi Driver, which climaxes with this scene, portrays the tragedy of an alienated man, a veteran who has been rejected by a woman and lives alone in a bleak and heedless New York City. In today’s America, though, both the alienated man and the culture that oppresses him and fuels his rage have taken on new forms and meanings, some of them more frightening and dangerous than before.

This scene with Travis and his Stacy dream girl (Cybill Shepherd) made me think of George Sodini:
