After reading "The History of Violence", I reminded myself to focus on the plot while watching it, and don't keep thinking about how Viggo people are so good-looking and their voices are so soothing. The title of the film reveals the theme. I feel that violence has always been something that can be hereditary, from Joey's murder to his son's murder, it's like heredity, the blood debt and disaster it brings remain on the father, and the son's future is still blank, who knows that violence will Where does it lead people? Once something becomes the fuse, the next set of firecrackers will fill your life with smoke. Everything you don't want to encounter and don't want to mention is uncovered, and you have no way to escape, but to face it.

    8.8 is too cool, the script is excellent enough, and even played tricks in Conan Borg's hands. One second everyone was calmly chatting, and the next second, they were arguing and shooting each other. Uncle Vigo is so handsome! (In other words, it's actually a manga change, go to the original manga)

A History of Violence 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?
