'A History Of Violence' (2005)
6-11-06 The Movie with Maria Bello & Viggo Mortensen
A rather hypnotic telling of the continuous 24-7-365 American Nightmare. A very erotic movie in spite of the violence some of which occurs on behalf of The Good Guys-----you & me. There is a sex scene in this movie that is compelling with Viggo going down on his wife (Maria) in a beautiful sexual seduction initiated by Bello. There is also another ferocious sexual episode with Viggo chasing Maria up the stairs & grabbing her & subduing her in a completely voracious act of possession and as it were a written statement of marital commitment past all the norms of mediocre matrimony. This is an edgy movie. And maybe it's still too nice. After all it gives us what we want so pantingly but have yet to get: the Happy Ending. But, by God, for better or worse you will find this movie watchable. You want to know what happens next. And we love the characters. When it's finally over you want just a little more of it. At least I did. This is Art not morality. And I love that final family scene at the kitchen table. I love every detail of that scene from daughter getting the plate to serve surprising late-arriving Viggo to every single item on the table. "The Last Supper?" HAH! The First Supper in quite some time!
