Film Review: A History of Violence
Osbaldo 2022-04-20 09:01:24
7 points. The story is very old-fashioned, nothing more than a retired XX (you can fill in "special forces / commandos / police / killers, etc.) to get married and have children, and the previous shadow XX (please fill in "violent gang / land gangster / old superior / old subordinate" here ) to find him again, he had to come out again and kill all over the world. But I really like the director's description of the male pig family members this time, the impact of violence on them is the part I care about, especially the male pig's son is very aggressive human eyeball.

[Mr. Fogarty tells Edie that her husband's real name is Joey Cusack]
Edie Stall: My husband does not know you. He wouldn't know you, somebody like you.
Carl Fogarty: Oh, he knows Carl Fogarty, all right. He knows me intimately. See?
[Mr. Fogarty points to his blind left eye]
Carl Fogarty: This isn't a completely dead eye. It still works a bit. The problem is, the only thing I can see with it is Joey Cusack. And it can see right through him. Right through your husband, Edie. I see what's inside him, what makes him tick. He's still the same guy.
Edie Stall: No.
Carl Fogarty: He's still crazy fuckin' Joey. And you know it, don't you?
Edie Stall: I know that my husband is Tom Stall. That's what I know.

[Tom talks to Edie in bed after making love to her]
Edie Stall: What is it? Huh?
Tom Stall: I remember the moment I knew you were in love with me. I saw it in your eyes. I can still see it.
Edie Stall: Of course you can. I still love you.
Tom Stall: I'm the luckiest son-of-a-bitch alive.
Edie Stall: You are the best man I've ever known. There is no luck involved.
