I also enjoyed A History of Violence. Without viewing this film as a fable,though, it might seem shallow and pointless. This point was driven home to me by a group of three guys sitting in front of me in the theater when I saw it. Tittering and cackling like little schoolboys during the sex and ultaviolence... It continually amazes me how films end up in front of "unintended" audiences. Cronenberg is a thinking man's director. I know I'll be stimulated when I see one of his films. Sometimes in ways I might not actually like!
