      The wrong cast made me prejudiced from the start

      The two little girls who appeared looked so old, and the Stall's daughter's wig was even more dazzling. What I mean is that when watching a movie, I don’t just want to watch the plot, listen to the soundtrack, and appreciate the handsome guys and beauties. If the handsome guys and beauties are stumbling from beginning to end, and the makeup is messed up, it will reduce the possibility of me appreciating them seriously.

      what should i do

      If it is a lion, it will eat meat. The kindness and purity that I expect in my heart face the real world and the unbearable past. How to choose, the director just tells us the story from the perspective of a third party, how is the taste in it? Experience it slowly. Maybe this is a human being, I just want the accident not to happen. If it happens, I can only come according to my nature, but how to continue life after this is the inevitable pain and entanglement left in everyone's heart. The...

      unhappy

      Brain disabled screenwriter + idiot director + errant actor = a naked bad movie.
           I really can't control my complaining heart, people who say this movie is good, I don't care about you, because how can you have an aesthetic level in your life who grew up in a bad movie?
            The beginning of the complaints: 1 The two robbers at the beginning of the film appeared so domineering, I thought it was a Quentin-style circular narrative structure and a Western-style film like the Coen...

      Film Review: A History of Violence

      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...

      Can the devil who longs for heaven be forgiven?

      First of all, congratulations and cheers for the acquaintance and cooperation between Cronenberg and VIGGO. They really fit to this extent, so that such a hopeless redemption is so unforgettable. In fact, I watched this film about half a year ago, but there are still two things that I can't forget. One is his wife holding her head to his name, the despair and heartbreak of his family, and the other is the ending where although it is open-ended, the result really doesn't matter.

      Like many Hong Kong martial arts films, the peerless master quit the disputes in the rivers and lakes, but he was hidden in the city but was disturbed by the people in the rivers and lakes, and finally the master used a unique trick to destroy the gangsters. Such a simple story makes Cronenberg much better to tell, and there is a lot of...

      This time, Cronenberg doesn't play with the demons and monsters that are deformed on the outside, but deals with the monsters inside people's hearts, the demons in the hearts of good fathers and good husbands, out of the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The location of Rich Cusack's residence in the film is from a fake French castle outside Toronto.
    When filming the sex scene on the stairs, the actor did not use the special effect pad, so in the later naked shots on the bed, Edie's back showed signs of bruising and had to be covered by a makeup artist.
    The scene where Tom killed two robbers in a restaurant was later cut out. In the original version, the young robber was shot seven times...

    Selection of personnel with

    After the script was ready, New Line agreed to start shooting the film. The producer set up an office in Cronenberg's hometown of Toronto, Canada, and began recruiting the whole class in front of and behind the scenes. Photographer Peter Suscheski has filmed "Senses Games" and "Children's Nightmare". Cronenberg had no intention of asking Maria Bello to play the role, but when she met Cronenberg for the first time in Toronto, Cronenberg...

    Movie quotes

    • [Mr. Fogarty and his men have a conversation with Tom in the diner]

      Tom Stall: We really are quite busy here today as you can see. So if you gentlemen aren't going to be eating, I really should offer your seats to paying customers.

      Carl Fogarty: Hmm. Well...

      Carl Fogarty: [Mr. Fogarty pulls out a $100 bill and lays it on the table] Now we're paying customers.

      Tom Stall: [Tom picks up the bill] I can't take this.

      Carl Fogarty: It shouldn't be a problem for you.

      Tom Stall: What's that supposed to mean?

      Charlie Roarke: Mr. Fogarty's just making conversation here.

      Tom Stall: Well, whatever you want to call it, this conversation is over.

      Charlie Roarke: I think he wants us to leave, Mr. Fogarty.

      Frank Mulligan: Do you know what he does when he don't like people, Mr. Fogarty.

      Carl Fogarty: Yeah. I'm scared. We should leave before he goes all 'Dirty Harry' on us.

    • [Sam tells Tom and Edie who Mr. Fogarty and his men are]

      Sheriff Sam Carney: Charles Roarke, Philadelphia. Indicted on three counts of murder. Frank Mulligan, out of New York, indicted on one count of murder. Questioned in relation to dozens of acts of violence that you don't want to hear about. Both men work for Carl Fogarty. That's the fella with the eye. He spent 15 years in prison on several counts of assault. He's suspected in half a dozen murders, and more disappearances. Tom, these guys are organized crime from the East Coast. Now, they're the real thing. They're bad men. I have to ask you a question...

      Edie Stall: Jesus. Jesus, honey.

      Sheriff Sam Carney: I have to ask you a question. Are you in some kind of witness protection plan?

    • [Leland takes inventory of how much water him and Billy have]

      Leland Jones: How are we on water?

      William Orser: Probably not enough.

      Leland Jones: [Leland holds up the empty water jug] Yeah.
