A History of Violence

[GonzoStyle]

can someone explain why this was heralded as such a brilliant film? Granted it's a very entertaining movie but I don't see what this big deal was about it being some groundbreaking piece of film making. The whole point seeminly being the different levels of violence and how some may be acceptable and in other cases it's just violence, as well as how acceptable and even applauded it's become. But at the same time it seems this movie was liked by so many because it's so violent, not for any message.

Plus Galt has said that the bush shot in Dark Water was gratuitous and pointless but the scene of maria bello walking out with her robe wide open was completely pointless... shave that shit!
