A History of Violence You can always trust Cronenberg!
This is a movie with a violent theme, but not so bloody, and it successfully escapes the misunderstanding that many American violent movies often fall into, from condemning the theme of violence to indulging in the thrill of violent and bloody narratives. Seriously reflect on violence, whether violence can be terminated, whether the perpetrator can escape, whether people can truly break with the past, and how painful and inevitable it is to live.
Although it is an old-fashioned story about how people try to leave the darkness and can't get rid of it for life, it is interesting to not write about the why, nor about the past, but only about the future. The future of a small family was the first shot many years ago. time is already doomed.
In the end, viggo's eyes ended very well, frightened and panicked, innocent and simple, he knew that nothing could return to the false beauty of the past, but he tried his best to solve the trouble just to come back, his nostalgia and love, he Wants to be Tom, wants to be an ordinary person, but everything has changed, he knows the reasons for these changes, but he doesn't understand.
Because he is in history, he is only the epitome of thousands of violence, the beginning of everything that does not end well and the end that will last forever. This is what the history of violence wants to tell us. Violence is a long history with an ancient beginning and will continue. When one is in the middle, one cannot help but be recorded.
Isn't it a wonderful theme, he said violence, but it is called history, probably still despairing of this thousand-year-old history of violence. The previous part of the plot makes people have a kind of expectation, how to reverse it later, how to solve the trouble, and maybe even talk about his past. But the rhythm arrangement keeps people's hearts hanging, so that the later story to Philadelphia becomes abruptly accelerated, which is a problem with the plot arrangement.
It's very good for actors, viggo is really charming...? I'm crazy about the two sex scenes in the middle (not) mainly because of the kind of intertwining with a little greenness, it's very guilt, such a handsome guy of this age shows the innocence of a big boy Shy, and the last section of the stairs at the back end of the animal struggle because of extreme fear of losing, very savage, but extremely fragile, sweat soaked hair roots, eyes almost collapsed and exhausted. So exciting, me?
Cronenberg's film composition never needs to worry about it. Like an aesthetic feast, any transition has a textbook neatness to it.
And he is very good at capturing the details - the scene of sleeping on the sofa, upside down, the drowsy man in the mist, the thin and firm jawline, the eyelashes that are brushed open, the large area of blue tones, a kind of The farewell atmosphere was so gentle that it was almost sad. I watch over and over again?
