In Reply to: History of Violence: big deal? posted by TopPop on March 31, 2006 at 21:56:11:
I was let down. It was a solid movie that was easy to watch. I thought the sex scenes were gratuitous (though appreciated) and the boy standing up for himself really over done, all of a sudden he becomes Superman? I get it - violence runs in the family, but do we have to be beaten over the heads with it? Still I enjoyed it, just not in the way I expected.
Follow Ups:
... the moral(?) of the film was violence begets violence, but, when the boy shot the gangster, I thought it more to defend his father, but I can see how you can take it either way.
Violence begets violence may be the point but I think the title refers to the history of Viggo and his family and now his son is violent etc...Actually I was referring to the school scene where he beats up the bully.
I liked the movie but after reading so many reviews dubbing it as the movie of the year or masterpiece etc. I was surprised to see a predictable and somewhat clumsy and obvious script.
I am not a professional reviewer or writer so what do I know?
