Hate to be a buzzkill but...
The story Travis recounts to Jane, about how he met her when she was 17/18 and they fell in love. That means he was in his early 50’s when he met her. I don’t have much sympathy for this situation because Travis was at worst a cradle robbing predator. I know I’m ignoring the technical aspects of the film wich I’m sure is all top notch and complex. Maybe it’s because I’m looking at this story from 2017 and not 1984 when the movie took place or the mid to late 1970’s relationship supposedly began so maybe things were different. I’m having a tough time getting over the age disparity.
