A History of Violence

We never know what is hidden behind the mundane life of people.. maybe those hidden things, each of which is full of huge drama, more incredible than the plot of every current TV series .Our face is a curtain of fireworks and dust, it may never be opened to the world, and the thrilling behind it may eventually sink into the soil with the passage of time.


This text is my blog It is an exclamation for some unrelated things.
After reading David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence" tonight, I suddenly feel that this passage is very similar to the introduction written for it in advance. But Vig .Montenson's character in the movie, Joey, wasn't so lucky. Although it took him years to wipe out his identity as Joey, in a matter of minutes, it all fell apart.
Must say Vig. Montensen. I LOVE HIM. I first saw him in a film called "Perfect Murder", playing a painter, but his identity and motives are extremely suspicious, the loneliness in his eyes and the sexy appearance It is definitely very lethal to women. Later, there was the world-renowned Aragan in The Lord of the Rings, the exiled hero, the king of the gods. Orlando Bloom stood by his side no matter how he looked at it. Little boy. Although the elf prince was all the rage at one time, I believe that anyone who has watched The Lord of the Rings will not forget the masculinity of Aragan. (Forgive me for using such erotic and vulgar words). Maybe because The tragic hero's temperament in him has made Cronenberg's work .
If there was no coffee robbery, there would be no two bastards. Joey may really bury the thrilling past into the soil of life, With his wife, son, and daughter, he lived quietly and plainly in the small town. Fighting gangsters was a topic that the media talked about, but Tom was actually Joey, and it was pushed into the abyss. For the safety of the family, Joey takes action. The terrified wife upstairs witnesses her gentle husband turning into a violent Joey in an instant. And what makes Joey really desperate is his son, who takes pains to avoid violence in his son's life appeared, but the son pulled the trigger and saved him. I was thinking maybe Joey would rather die than his son pick up that gun.
The death of the enemy is not the end, but the beginning of Joey's falling into the dark past again. His wife's painful questioning, Joey's self-struggle, in tears, he weakly said to himself or explained: "I am clearly in the desert. Killed Joey. And spent three years being Tom, if I hadn't met you, I couldn't have been born again..." But peace, once broken, is the same as china, It will never be the same again. When he came home from the hospital, the provocation of his son, the unacceptability of his wife, broke him down, and there was the part of raping his wife on the stairs. Excellent, in order to escape the shadow of violence in the past, he kept his name and only wanted to be harmonious with his son, but at this time, he could only try to restore the integrity of his family and emotions through violence. His wife's ankle broke free from his weak hand, and he There is only despair and great sadness in the eyes.
I am very afraid of the eyes of men, from Nicolas Cage, to Bill Murray, to Vig. Montensen. Looking directly at the camera, it seems that there is nothing, and it has been pressing into people. In my heart, there is nowhere to hide. Men's helplessness is obviously more depressing than women's. I remember someone saying that Adjani's eyes can break the camera. I think Vig. Montensen can do it too.
Late at night, Joe Yi got a call from Ricky (trying to kill his brother). He left the house to solve his problems as Joey. Still so crisp and thrilling. Early in the morning, when he threw his gun in the water, kneeled in extreme weakness At the water's edge, he finally understands that guns can be thrown into the water, enemies can be killed, and the history of violence will always follow. When he returns home, there will be no sweet kisses, and family greetings, and there are no cutlery for him on the table. Wife , Both sons and daughters are silent and unfamiliar, only the daughter, such a well-behaved little daughter, took a set of tableware for him, set it up, and sat down quietly. At that moment, my heart was hit and it was very painful

. The film is all about people's past and present. There is no way to abandon the past, those we carefully keep in the depths, and those we try to avoid and hide, they are always there. Like thorns in the skin, thorns that cannot be removed, Although many years later, they only look like a tiny black spot, but they must not be touched. After years, they become hard and stubborn, even if it is only lightly stroked, the pain goes deep into the bone marrow.
