A History Of Violence

[Janney]

Its very hard to recommend this movie to people.

If you don't understand the importance of the sex scene on the stairs--not in turning you on--and the ending didn't amke you think about societies mixed perception of violence then the film was lost on you.

 

And William Hurt was just masterfull. How he didn't win an oscar for the role is beyond me.

exactly. william hurt was awsome. acting drunk is fuckin hard, as demonstrated by every other actor I've ever seen attempt it. He did that, and expressed a great sense of history between the two, all in, what, 15 minutes?

 

sex scenes make people feel awkward, so obviously people aren't going to like it.that doesn't mean it didn't add anything to the movie, just because some people did't like it or understand it.

I felt in love with this film the first time I saw it. Viggo's performance was amazing and complex to portray. Easily Cronenberg's best work to date.
