TAThe M65 Jacket is often used to portray loneliness in cinema.
The Jacket is a classic American military jacket. It was originally designed for the us. army in 1965, which is where its name M65 comes from. It was designed to keep the soldiers warm amid cool climate conditions that came from heavy downpours.
Many veterans who returned home after the war continued wearing it as part of their daily attire, which is one of the main reasons Martin Scorsese portrayed Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle with the jacket in the cult classic film, Taxi Driver (1976).
The jacket is often used to reflect characters burdened by the past or carrying psychological wounds, giving a sense of a long history of struggle and suffering.
