A History of Violence

This film is a just the kind of thriller that i like! The story has so much depth to it - the family relationships, the brutal violence that emerges slowly that serves as a link to the father's past, the small town life and it's crushed paradise. The violence tells the truth when the father denies it. It's so good! The mother realizes that her husband, the father of her children is a completely different person than she thought. The realization comes slowly, and creeps under your skin. First you don't believe it, then you don't want to believe it. But it's true. The son who appears to have inherited certain talents from his father come as surprises, even for him it seems. He realizes that his father must be that other person. When you have children with someone do you have to do anything to keep the family together? I think i need to watch this film again to fully understand the beginning of the film. But hey - any excuse to see this film again :) Amazing amazing acting by everyone in the film, especially the family members. This film will stay with me in my thoughts for a long time.
