A History Of Violence
Ok I feel so passionate about this movie that it needs its own space, not just being relegated to the sidebar.
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE
I shall now give you my review:
Imagine yourself needing to go grocery shopping. The store is 1 mile away. You could drive there, or maybe walk and stop at a few interesting stores along the way. Maybe sit and watch the ducks in the pond. Instead however you decide to take the direct route, only instead of driving or walking you crawl. You slowly crawl. Crawling, crawling, crawling. There is no mystery. Whenever anyone asks what you are doing, you say that you are going to the grocery store, but for some reason you are taking the slowest way possible.
At first people are curious as to why you are doing this. All of a sudden at about your half way point, you realize that people are no longer interested in why and they go about doing something more interesting.
YOU JUMP UP. YOU YELL, "WAIT, LOOK AT ME!!!."
All of a sudden people are coming back. Why is this person yelling? Should we stay? Maybe something of interest is about to happen.
Then you get back on your knees and start crawling again with everyone watching. No one knows what to think. Is something going to happen? What could happen? They are watching someone crawl... to a grocery store.
Slightly less patiently they wait, and wait, and wait. Not wanting to miss what might happen.
Eventually, with feet tapping around you, you arrive at the store. You purchase your groceries.
You crawl home.
