The film is adapted from the graphic novel of the same name co-authored by John Wagner and Vince Locke. "A History of Violence" is completely different from David Cronenberg's previous works. The driving force of the film's development relies more on narrative. In some respects, the film is quite mainstream, but it is very unusual in the presentation of the story. In order to avoid suspicion with the Mafia, Cronenberg and Olson deliberately changed the surnames of the gangsters in the original...

I saw how violence is entangled with heroism and protecting the homeland. Killing becomes a professional skill. Only in Tom's own view of good and evil can we say that he has been...

The whole movie is very soothing, and the fighting part is not exciting. Violence is a means of solving problems. At least the male protagonist saved his friends, his family, and himself through violence. The contradiction of "kill to kill, and kill the murderer to kill". 3448 Sex on the...

Violence is a cycle, and it is even more fearful of children. I think the best thing about Cronenberg in this film is that he accurately describes the process of violent contagion, which silently reveals one person's body and kisses another. Communication is always faulty, and there are always collapses and explosions waiting for you in the...

[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?
