Watch David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence"

There is no evil deduction, only the history of violence!

Very calm scene and shot handling. Authentic American independent production fan.

Croneberg likes to create a strong contrast between the environment and the characters in the mirror. Especially the use of emptiness.

There are quite a few places that are a bit reminiscent of the old homeless.

The entire film cost very little to make, and it was important to integrate the story with the audience's lived experience.

The audience gets a dramatic thrill when the story's strengths and weaknesses take unexpected turns.

Darkness has its own magic.

Take a closer look, it's actually a bit of Gu Long's style of martial arts novels, a reclusive master. . .

The last part is handled beautifully and the script is very good. The ability of Americans to write novels is indeed first-rate.

    When you have to pick up the butcher's knife that has been put down, it is often a different mood.

A History of Violence quotes

  • [Richie asks Joey about having a farm]

    Richie Cusack: So, you like that farm life? Milking cows and shit?

    Tom Stall: I don't have a farm.

    Richie Cusack: [chuckles] No? Fogarty thought you lived on some kind of farm. He said you could smell pig. How that old fart would know what a pig smells like, I don't know, but that's what he said.

  • [Leland and Billy prepare to murder everybody in Tom's diner]

    Tom Stall: Sir, we don't... we don't carry much cash here. You gentlemen are certainly welcome to all of it.

    Leland Jones: Oh, I know that, asshole. Believe me. I do know that!

    Leland Jones: [Leland pulls out his gun as the girl in the corner of the diner screams] Shut up, bitch!

    Leland Jones: [Leland holds his gun on Tom] Okay, Billy... Let's show this asshole we mean business.

    William Orser: [Billy looks at Charlotte] What? Her?

    Leland Jones: Yes, her. Do her!
