Meet Trevor, Your Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer

Who exactly is Trevor Mazzanti?
Good question.
Heavily inspired by the movie Taxi Driver, Trevor is an interesting character.
The main character of Taxi Driver, Travis Bickle, plans on "cleaning up the streets of New York". He plans, and kills, people that make New York "dirty". Basically, anyone who he doesn't deem fit to live in the city.
Although our character, Trevor, does not have the same intent, he is still based off of Travis (catch the similarity in the names, anyone?). He believes that people need to fit into the picture of perfect romance movies, and if they can't play the part, well then..... yikes.
Trevor doesn't have malicious intent, however. It is his mind that's all twisted and messed up.
As stated a couple of posts ago, Trevor is a lonely projectionist who mainly runs romance movies. He wants to live his life like one, but unrealistic to any human being on earth, he cannot come to terms with the fact that he cannot.
This love translates to him being unusually caring and comforting to his victims before he kills them. Its the only way he can be as caring and kind as a lead man, and maybe this will win him the love of his life.
The 30 year old keeps boxes full of "memories" of his victims, because he still quite loves them, in his own twisted way.
The audience is made to pity and sympathize with Trevor, which is what makes the movie so great. Usually, people don't look at a serial killer and think "awww poor guy". It makes the audience question their thoughts and moral compass. That is what we hope to convey through Trevor.
