Paul Schrader landed in a hopeful place with 'Master Gardener,' the completion of a loose, thematic trilogy about men looking for redemption.
The Big Picture In 1976, Paul Schrader's screenplay for Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver catapulted him to new career heights, but the film also established a thematic thread Schrader would continue to pull at for decades. "God's lonely man," as Travis Bickle refers to himself, has become the key archetypal figure of Schrader's filmography, insular men who are struggling with masculinity and morality in what they view as a transgressive society.
Schrader's Taxi Driver screenplay established an archetype that would be the central figure in many of Schrader's most notable works. Travis Bickle, portrayed by Robert De Niro, is trying to do right by a society he sees as fundamentally broken and corrupt to the core. Bickle, steeped in despair and blinded by delusional thinking, recedes further into his own psyche with disastrous results.
The ending is dark when taken at face value. Toller's plan to blow up his church is thwarted by the presence of the woman he has developed a close relationship with, portrayed by Amanda Seyfried, and he instead self-mutilates with barbed wire before preparing a glass of drain cleaner to drink in order to kill himself.
