Similarities to Taxi Driver ?
anyone else thought of Taxi Driver while watching this?
The main character is completely isolated, doesn't matter where he is, how he lives... or if he is together with his family. He is completely isolated, alone. Hence the title.
The character thinks he is right, that he is respectable and reasonable in his own little world. But the truth is, he is mentally unstable and completely disturbed. He does not realize this.
Now here the scary part:
The viewer actually is able to feel sympathy for him despite his horrific actions.
Some of his quotes about the reality in our world and the human society are comprehensible and right.
But just because the world is how it is, it is no excuse for him to behave like that. He should not act the way he acts. But that's just the mental disorder inside him talking that way.

Now take all these characteristics and compare them with Travis Bickle and his properties.
