Anybody else seen \"A History of Violence\" (Possible Spoilers)
I was pretty excited about going to see it and boy was I dissapointed. Just curious if anyone actually like this movie.
I thought it was like if a drunk 16 year old wrote a movie this is probably what it would be.

I agree, it wasn't boring but it just never really went anywhere.
Reminds me of Monster's Ball where all the critics love it and nobody else.

I liked it. It had good character development with the son and wife, and intrigue with Vigo Mortensens characer and William Hurt.
Very simple movie though, which I like. I like to watch a movie once and fully understand it. Plus, a full-frontal of that actress from the Cooler.

The one bit I found bizarre though was the sons character development or are we to assume he developed his fighting skills naturally form his father.

[/ QUOTE ] I think the implication is clearly that he has a natural killer instinct inherited from his father, something that the father had long attempted to suppress in his son. The son's performance of his internal conflict and strife as he discovered this disturbing dichotomy within himself was phenomenal, IMO. This thread of the movie was supposed to leave you pondering the nature vs. nurture question, not leaving the movie going "weird movie, dude. Kinda slow. Nice hooters, though." eastbay

Got to say that is an excellant interpretation.
Still though I can hear so drunk dude at a party saying, "Dude what if there was like this small town dude that was like bad ass at fighting and could kick everyones ass, but then like he wasn't really small town he was like in the mob, that would be so sweet."
