A History of Violence

A History of Violence

The plot still follows a heroic incognito routine. In fact, to show violence, you can set the protagonist as a real ordinary person, and then be violently invaded until it is completely occupied.
The film has something in common with Scorsese's "Cape Terror". It seems to want to combine the violence of father and son, but the effect is not good. In the end, the son's routine of saving his father's life at a critical moment is adopted.
Some passages in the film have obvious symbolic meanings, such as the scene where the protagonist kneels at the lake at the end, which has a taste of redemption and reflection. The overall violent effect is relatively calm. This feeling is quite in line with the scene of the town. The atmosphere that the creator deliberately wanted to create.

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?
