    A. Especially cleverly directed after "Spider Nightmare", the subconscious leads "Capgra paranoia" to deepen the suspense, but it is amazing that the original villain was killed more than halfway through the plot, followed by the psychological truth (the past, history). Cronenberg seems to be telling us that violence is innate just like desire. The overreaction of the family is more like Cronenberg's style. It does not refer to the curious and advanced imagination, but there is always an...

    2007.1.5 The story is wonderfully told, how lovely and scary is the media intervention. Can I apply that vulgar saying that people are in the rivers and lakes and can't help themselves. I never understood what role that Eddie's police friend played.

    Three and a half. The male protagonist holds up the whole movie, and his personal role is 200% complete. The rivalry with his son, wife and enemy is even more remarkable. He is not the kind of actor who faces all the scenes with his consistent acting. He is adjusting, he is in Judging what the scene is about, what is needed, and most importantly, what is the relationship between me and my opponent actors, and how capable the opponent actors are, including how the director will shoot, this is a...

    Two Gloomy Guys This movie is far less impressive than the later Appaloosa town, but the various blatantly violent scenes in the movie can still make you...

    Cruel violence and calm narrative are intertwined in the whole film, and the perfect cooperation between starring Viggo Mortensen and director David Cronenberg makes the whole film full of just the right...

    See, violence is also a way to solve problems, otherwise, you won't have the peaceful life you want. Just used violent hands, stained with dirty blood, the once clean past has become history. Neither Tom nor Joey can escape the entanglement of nightmares, those pasts that can never be washed away, can only use the most primitive violence to end it all. The choice of a middle-aged man is not like the rebirth of a phoenix after...

A History of Violence quotes

  • [Richie talks to Joey about the business]

    Richie Cusack: What am I gonna do? You bust up a made man's place. You killed some of his guys. You take his eye. Jesus, Joey... you nearly took out his left eye. Barbed wire, wasn't it? That's disgusting. You always were the crazy one.

    Tom Stall: Not anymore.

    Richie Cusack: Yeah, I heard. You're living the American Dream. You really bought into it, didn't you? You've been this other guy, almost as long as you've been yourself. Hey, when you dream, are you still Joey?

    Tom Stall: Joey's been dead a long time.

    Richie Cusack: And yet here you sit... big as life. You know you cost me a lot of time and money. Before you pulled that shit with Fogarty, I was a shoe-in to take over when the boss croaked. A shoe-in. It was made very clear to me, Joey. I had to clean up your mess, or nothing was ever gonna happen for me! You got no idea how much shit I had to pull to get back in with those guys. You cost me! A hell of a lot, Joey. A hell of a lot!

    Tom Stall: Looks like you're doing all right over here.

    Richie Cusack: Yeah, I am, I am. I'm still behind the eight-ball... because of you. There's a certain lack of respect, a certain lack of trust. The boys in Boston are just waitin' for me to go down.

  • [Tom gets a phone call in the middle of the night]

    Tom Stall: Hello?

    Richie Cusack: [voice] Hey, Bro-heem. You're still pretty good with the killing. That's exciting.

    Tom Stall: Richie?

    Richie Cusack: [chuckles; voice] Yeah, it's Richie. What do you say, Joey? Are you going to come see me? Or do I have to come see you?
