A History of Violence

At this point, it seems that A History of Violence will become a meditation on killing and what it does to people. Although the director is David Cronenberg, and the diner scene is shot with appropriately bloody physicality (few filmmakers have as much affinity for the frailty of the human body), most of the film has so far had a quiet grace to it that calls to mind A Map of the World, another story about the after-effects of death in the heartland. Then Carl Fogaty (Ed Harris, half his face scarred by barbed wire and with one mostly dead eye) walks in with a couple of goons and things go in quite a different direction. Especially after Fogaty asks Stall’s wife Edie (Maria Bello) why she thinks “Tom” is so good at killing people?

A History of Violence certainly lives up to its name, containing some very graphic violence. What starts as a slow paced, idyllic version of a small town all-American family, devolves into the sort of carnage you'd normally associate with a Quentin Tarantino movie.

"Individuals who have a history of anti-social behavior may be more likely to find a partner with a similar history and re-create what they experienced as children. They may ... be more likely to be in places in their communities where they interact with people with the same types of behavior," said Herrenkohl.
