A History of Violence

[modage]

this is good, but i was hoping for great.

NOTICE: everyone keep your hopes in check!

the problem with the film was that the first 3/4 was pretty much all in the trailer except for a few exquisite shots of gore (boy does he excell at those).  at a certain point though when i thought hte movie was going to end i was like "uh oh, waitaminute!  we haven't seen william hurt yet (from the credits)!"  so that was a bit of a holy shit!  but its good, in a small-ish quiet way.  nothing to go crazy over.  C+

in order to keep me in check was it better/worse than spider in your opinion?

[samsong]

i will go so far as to call this film a masterpiece, a term (or word, rather) i use to describe both spider and crash as well, although a history of violence is the least of the three.

meaning... that cronenberg is 3 for 4 of what i've seen of his.  existenz (i'm not even going to try), i did not like.

the film's fantastic and handled with such confidence and grace.  beautifully constructed art-film-as-mainstream-entertainment that i absolutely loved.  i fucking love cronenberg.

You haven't seen Dead Ringers, Videodrome or Naked Lunch and you're calling his films masterpieces?

Prepare for a mindblow.

I tought this was good. It wasn't as Cronenbergish, as I expected somehow.

Didn't kick as much ass as expected though. That's it, short review. It's worth a see.

UPDATE

After the movie endend, there was a wave of laughter. Also, in first sex scene, the audience was very tense it was weird.

Haha how come no one responded to that... I interviewed Cronenberg about A History of Violence:

Next time, interview PTA and I'll guess people here will cream their pants more. But still, Cronenberg, that's awesome.

A new Cronenberg comes out and there is a mere 2 pages of discussion about it ? God...allright I'll try to spark a discussion.

I'd say David Cronenberg is a poor man's David Lynch.

haha, maybe it's the same reason no one cares about mutinyco's interviews. worse even cos at least ppl know who mutinyco is.

i was really excited about this, but i ended up disappointed. it seems like he's trying to say something about darwinism and violence, but, whatever it was, it didn't strike a chord with me.

if you want to see maria bello 69 in a cheerleader outfit, however, this is the movie for you.

This was so much the best part of the film that I'd point it out as a spoiler

P, you should've used that bait with the fuzzy orange thing on it. If I'd offered something here, it might've been justified. As I didn't, this is more an expression of your own subconscious. Go get some fresh air.

how rude!

(1) P, you should've used that bait with the fuzzy orange thing on it.

(2) If I'd offered something here, it might've been justified.

(3) As I didn't, this is more an expression of your own subconscious.

(4) Go get some fresh air.

I don't understand that post

hmm, i interpreted it as such:

(1) P, stop trying to  start shit. it's not working.

(2) if I'd actually contributed to this particular thread, perhaps that may have warranted an insult/comment from you.

(3) but i didn't. so this is more about you, not me.

(4) Fuck off
