hey~hey here comes another Cronenberg's film. this Canadian director did it again this time. after Spider ... 3 years ago. here's A History of Violence. i saw a lots of bad comments about it .. but i just love the title ... even before i know any detail about it ... the plot, the director ... the minute i walked in. all i know is the title and the poster .... lol ... that's so me, impulsive decision.

sittin' there alone in my own row in da the cinema, i dont regrets chosing this film over brokeback. (i moved once during the king's antheme cuz the farang girls next to me keep talkin' and chewin' on their snacks the whole commercial time ... i dont wanna take a risk ... so i moved the first chance i get. i dont mind sittin' too close to the screen, in the small theatre like Lido, no one will. i just wanna enjoy my movie, with peace.)
i love Tom Stall ... i love the character and also think Viggo Mortensen did pretty great on his part. don't know who that is? i did know his face from other small roles ... but as a no-LOTR-watcher .. i have to admit that this introduction is easier for most people to understand, he's Aragorn.
Tom Stall: In this family, we do not solve problems by hitting people!
Jack Stall: No, in this family, we shoot them!
that's my favourite quote from the film. and don't get me wrong, one of my fav scene is the sex on the stairs. i mean ... look at the guy's eyes ... and all the details Cronenberg showin' us. i heard my good farang friends voice in the back row (that i moved away from) commenting about the edie nude after the sex ... what's the reason for showing a half second full frontal nudity that u can missed in a blink of the eye? as in Cronenberg's other films, this one also speaks on many levels, and i suggest seeing it more than once to fully take it all in. beautiful performances all around. well, go see it again and you'll understand.

hmmm .... did i gave out too much detail? did i spoiled the film? i have to put spoiled-warning on top of the blog. how can one comment on a film without spoilin' it, i wonder.
