Happy Birthday, Paul Schrader! May your day be as intense and unforgettable as Travis Bickle's taxi rides, yet far less chaotic. You've given us cinematic gems like "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," and "Bringing Out The Dead"—films that taught us it's perfectly normal to root for complicated antiheroes (and question our own sanity in the process).Here's hoping your birthday celebration is filled with fewer existential crises than a Scorsese protagonist, but just enough drama to keep things interesting. Thanks for decades of brilliant storytelling; may you continue writing scripts that make audiences squirm delightfully in their seats. Cheers!
