The Bridges character is real, but the whole movie is kind of a fantasy—at times a bizarre and off-putting one, at that. Thomas’ romantic tribulations amount to him whining in gussied-up language about getting friend-zoned, and his view of New York is tedious boilerplate about how the gentrified city has lost its soul.
Besides, when Was The Only Living Boy in NYC?

Keeping this in view, who narrates the last Living Boy in New York? “Something’s missing and we all feel it,” Jeff Bridges narrates over some twee line-drawing animation illustrating that New York ain’t what it used to be back in the day when they were making “Taxi Driver” here.
Moreover, is New York a lonely place?
This city has incredible people doing incredible things from all walks of life. There are few places in the world where you can meet as many inspiring people in as short a time as you can in New York City. However, living here for a while has taught me that New York can also be one of the loneliest cities in the world.
