A review of "A History of Violence (New Line Platinum Series)" (rated 3 stars)

A History of Violence (New Line Platinum Series)

by David Cronenberg

I’ll admit this isn’t the best film I’ve ever seen, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone below me has made it out to seem.

The whole beginning and it’s over the top family values is to show how Tom has assimilated into what he thinks is family life, which since he doesn’t understand what a real one is like, he is overly nice and over the top, because he doesn’t know any better. It’s also clear that he has mental issues, since he tried to get rid of his “bad half” even though it ended up catching up to him when his picture was on the news and his true self was forced out. And the whole fight scene with his son and how he defends his dad’s life is perhaps illustrating a theory that this kind of behavior is passed down through family members and even though the boy didn’t realize his dad was a murderer, he already had it in him to be one too.

And lastly, I think Tom’s fighting skills are extremely realistic to his character, since that’s what he did for a long time before he became “normal.” I’m taking a self-defense class that is teaching us similar moves and despite the warnings of what could happen if we use these moves, it was still a wake-up call while watching this movie to see a person using them.
