A History of Violence
:: we never got to experience high school together
I really wanted to see this movie in the theater, but never got the chance. Thank you, Netflix! I’m thinking the movie is about a small town guy who has a history of violence. I’m thinking this means he spent some time in the Marines working special-ops and killing innocent civilians before he came to this little town where he runs a diner and meets his wife and raises a family. I thought when some bad guys come to rob his restaurant and he kicks their asses it’s because of his Marine training and then the whole town knows he has kick ass skills and people are afraid of him. Or something. The movie was not that. The movie was good. I was engaged the entire time..except for Ed Harris’ bum eye, I wasn’t a fan of that or Ed Harris as a “bad” guy either. Viggo Mortenson and Maria Bello had some chemistry. Aside from the cool violent action sequences, the scenes that stand out in my mind are the sex scenes. There are two and they are both longer than your average sex scene and explicit. Very much like a European sex scene rather than a Hollywood sex scene. What surprised me about the first scene is how I realized I couldn’t remember ever seeing the 69-position portrayed on-screen outside of a porno. What surprised me about the second scene was how rough and uninhibited it was. The music is swelling and the actors are going at it..and just when you think the scene is ending and the music is mellowing, it swells again and the sex continues. I think I liked this movie. I don’t know that I would purchase it, but I would recommend it.
