so, in basically every wannabe taxi driver rip-off movie I've seen, the director makes a movie about a tortured anti-hero that has a lot of bad/disappointing shit that happens to them or someone they care about, that ends up doing a Big Violence™ at the movie's climax. that is also the tl;dr plot of taxi driver

awesome write up. 🤘
