the hokiest acting that everyone involved has ever done (Maria Bello in the hospital scene deserves a razzie), dialogue that feels like it belongs in a Shyamalan movie ("so what, if I tell shay about you are you gonna have me WHACKED?"), script that feels like it's a student film that's supposed to be a parody of "violence bad mkay" narratives, this is putrid dogshit.
the ONLY good thing is the "I can see in your eyes that you still love me" shit that comes back in the last shot, other than that, this is one of the worst and most overrated pieces of shit ever put on a pedestal by critics and nominated for Oscars. frick cronenberg and this cheap low hanging lazy as hell "um Dae actually violence is le bad??" tripe holy shit.
have a nice day if you defend this trash.

>filtered by Cronen~~*berg*~~
some are just never meant to make it.
He's one of the good ones.
Post body horror cronenberg is unwatchable trash
glowie post
have a nice day homosexual
M. Butterfly is probably his best movie.
it's a great movie KYS
Drink bleach it's one of the worst movies ever made. Literally The Room tier writing, acting, and direction. Frick you and that homosexual cronenberg, you moron manlet.
cringepost
It's a good thing your women are all mudsharks, you moronic millennial. The less mutts with your biologically-hardwired lack of taste in the world, the better.
Paid shill and probably a troony. Can't believe Cronen~~*berg*~~ is still bank rolling shills to defend his crappy excuse for a movie on the Internet. Probably it's all part of a money laundering ploy involving other israelites and the Chinks from the CCP to push a capital loss in African real state and buyed it to produce cheap supplies to sell in American soil.
Cronen~~*berg*~~ literally commited treasome to America by making her shitty movie and paying shills the defend it on a Ugandan advicing forum for professional fresh water lobster breeding in tropical climates. Frick that troony of Cronen~~*berg*~~ and his pedo shills.
why would anyone shill for a movie this old you fricking midwit? think im paid to pump up the DVD sales?
You're a literal glowie trying to confuse me with rhetoric.
take your medication bro
>commited treasome
dumb ESL larping as an American, SAD.
It's a capeshit tier movie which tries too hard to appear deep. Only pretentious midwits - Cinemaphile main demographic - could unironically believe that it's good.
>b-but it was critically acclaimed
Paid shills most likely, because nobody with more than two functioning braincells would had watched this movie and conclude that's anything more than a pile of buring shit; literary one of the biggest cinematic disasters of the century and an example of what not to do for future film makers.
Idgaf about critics. I don't read reviews. if I like it I like it. I liked it.
Not a millennial and not American. Yet another cringepost.
based zoomchad. history of violence is kino. KINO. eastern promises is even better tho
how old are you honestly?
I'm 34 years old. I work a steady job that allows me to purchase kino and large pieces of land that I use to sow maize and sell it at high price to Canadian refiners at the other side of the border. I'm happily married and have two kids, one of which is the star of the junior football team.
I'm literally more successful than you and far more versed on kino, so my opinion holds more value than yours, wienersucking poor fat moron. You're a useless member of society, your death would be meaningless and your existance is patethic - just like your movie taste. Nobody will weep your death, you heard me, stupid poor moron?
Its not his worst movie (Remember, Dead Ringers exists)
It's a genre film and clearly low budget. Watch Eastern Promises for the John Wick but not cartoonish version.
>and clearly low budget
Oh so they could only afford the bronze acting plan for William Hurt's performance when they cast him?
>Eastern Promises
good movie, playing in los angeles at 7:30 tomorrow night.
excellent movie.
Yeah. I'm Joey.
>the frogposters have the most asswipe taste in the thread
go back to spamming threads seething about the Oscars you homosexuals
keep fighting the good fight
>have a nice day if you defend this trash.
how many non-english language movies have you seen the past 3 years?
I recently watched the whole filmography of Fernando Birri, Amit Dutta, Saeed Ebrahimifar, Manoel de Oliveira and Alain Resnais. Real kino a purchased on physical format and which are far better than your israeli low-budget schlock.
groypers should be rounded up and shot dead for their God awful taste well before they're rounded up and shot dead for being homosexuals
Keira Knightley's acting in A Dangerous Method is way worse
i watched this film with my dad and walked out of the room when the crime boss is hazing vigo calling him Joey, i know hes intentionally laying it on thick but it comes across like a high school theater production its so bad
Low IQ take
walk into traffic you drooling pleb
>it's high IQ to enjoy zero effort lazy dogshit
>it's high IQ to enjoy SNL grade acting
>it's high IQ to put the most bog-standard ham-fisted childish pseud philosophizing on a pedestal
I bet you think you're white too
i'm whiter than you, Juan Pedro de la Cruz del Santo Domingo Guevara Echeverría Giménez.
And I don't need to resort to cheap inflammatory posts to garner the attention that my parents never gave me 🙂
>no dildo's
>no homosexual trans bipoc heroes
Your right. This movie shouldn't even be legal.
Great movie. Crimes of the Future proved that Cronenberg's still got it. What are some of your favorites from him? I got a lot of love for eXistenZ.
My favorite Cronenberg film is Videodrome. I've actually enjoyed the guy's films, although I'm still missing many of his best known works (The Fly, eXistenZ, Crash, Eastern Promises).
The ones I've seen, aside from Videodrome, are The Naked Lunch and the film the OP is seething about, both of which I liked a lot.
Eastern Promises, The Naked Lunch, and Videodrome are top tier
M. Butterfly is underrated.
Outstanding acting, excellent story, in a shitty boring movie.
Only explanation I can come up with is shitty script; but how did they not notice? it had all the pieces for a homerun
Viggo and Ed Harris are fine but the son, the mother, and William Hurt are atrocious.
>Outstanding acting
we watch the same movie?
>excellent story
it was interesting
>in a shitty boring movie.
the totality was okay.
I will say I always thought the overacting and the quick transitions were to give it a comic book feeling
>wtf was cronenberg thinking?
>I'm a israelite so a better go ahead and tear at the fabric of society
Jesus, Joey.
Is this the one where you see Vigo’s butthole?
that was the Russian Mob movie. This is the Italian Mob one.
Irish mob
>Fogerty
>Cusack
>the boys up in Boston
Yeah clearly about Italians.
No it's the one where you see Maria Bello's hairy pussy
I love Viggo to death, but I did not care for this movie. I'll give it a rewatch one day, but I'm not looking forward to it.
it's literally the best performance he's ever had. him going back from Joey to nick was incredible especially when he drives all night to meet his brother. crazy fricking Joey
This anon is the kind of person that posts shit like picrel on youtube videos
Thinking A History of Violence is moralizing on how violence is bad is a midwit take. It's actually about Tom/Joey's family coming to terms with how violence is necessary.
Tell that to every critic that sucked this movie's tiny dick to high heaven, you homosexual
Critics liked the movie for the wrong reasons, because they are stupid.
yup... same meaning as the scene in trigun
?t=352
pacifist brother vs. violent maniac brother... former finally realizes there's only one thing that can be done
>Shouldn't that be, 'little, punkass, chickenshit, homosexual b***h'?
I really liked that kid's banter man haha. But yes it was full of bad acting all around. I have no clue how Hurt got an oscar nom he was completely phoning it in.
>I have no clue how Hurt got an oscar nom he was completely phoning it in.
I MEAN HOW THE FUUHUUHUUWUAACKKKK....
DO YOU FRICK THAT AAHHHPPPPPP????
this movie was fricking horrible, watched it with 3 friends and everyone thought it was a b-movie joke. maybe we shouldn't of watched it right after eastern promises. the difference was stark as hell and was torturous to get through.
Wow, if the acting isn't naturalistic, it must be bad. Surely not an intentional choice.
Hope you never accidentally watch any Lynch.
>it's intentionally bad
ah yes how could we forget the last refuge of the pseud homosexual
NTA but it's intentionally unnaturalistic, not bad you moron. the acted is overexaggerated and weirdly unreal to convey the dreamlike sense of the movie. it's the only action movie that truly feels like a dream, and it's got some good ideas. maybe not kino but definitely a great film.
>the acted is overexaggerated and weirdly unreal to convey the dreamlike sense of the movie.
Please jump off a bridge before you start trying to get a video essay youtube channel off the ground
Filmmakers have been doing this shit for decades while your degree of media literacy is clearly Cinema Sins tier
nah morons, i'll break it down simply. joey is a supernatural force, not in a literal sense but a metaphorical one, and the acting reflects this. nick is just a shell to contain joey and his family isn't real in that sense either, he's created a "fake" family to cope with joey, to contain him. it's why his kid and wife seem so unhappy under the surface they subconsciously understand that none of this is real and really for appearances sake, only at the end do they consciously realise this and show their unhappiness. there's an odd hope to it as well that now that the cards are all laid out they can make something real from their lives, but overall it's still a pretty depressing ending.
His name is Tom not Nick lmao.
homie i cant remember it's been years since i watched it
Take "film buff" out of your social media bios and then have a nice day you fricking midwit
>t. tom
stfu his name is nick
At least get the names right you stupid frick
kys you shitter. literally snydergay tier.
>weirdly unreal to convey the dreamlike sense of the movie
how long before morons in this thread start whipping out heavy hitter phrases like "show don't tell"?
You've literally just repeated "It's not naturalistic so it's bad" you fricking mong
This would make some semblance of sense if the small town folk were all played hammy and Pleasantville-esque, but the criminals weren't. Unfortunately cronenberg is a moronic hack, which is why Hurt's character behaves like he's in a Sam Raimi horror film, or a Leslie Nielsen comedy even.
>Hurt's character behaves like he's in a Sam Raimi horror film
He doesn't, though.
Raimi, interestingly enough, also has a habit of playing up the aw shucks gee whiz absurdly good natured Americana stuff for the pure people in his films to contrast with the darker elements.
When did this board become so homo? Every history if violence thread before had the webm of that wife actress showing her bush in the first few posts, thats why i clicked the thread.Now you're all arguing about acting and stuff. Miss me with that gay shit.
Posters like you look like Louis ck in real life
Weirdly obsessed with gayness, huh
besides the main protagonist is too overpowered
why was he even on a gang if he can kill 5 trained men all by himself?
Family
How exactly would you use that skill set outside of a gang?
It was 7/10 and underwhelming to me
Cronenberg has always been and will always be the director of choice for entry level pseuds that are desperate to act like they have taste when in reality they belong in a department store stacking shelves. He's the neutral milk hotel or tame impala or arctic monkeys of filmmakers. If the son in this movie ever took an interest in movies, he'd go around acting like the biggest cronenberg fan around.
Bro the scene where the chick is in her old cheerleader outfit and looking fine as hell God I popped a chubb.
>no one mentioning the incredibly hot rape but not really rape scene
homosexual thread lmao
I've watched it at least a dozen times. It's kino. If you don't get it you just don't get film in general. Stop pretending.
it was garbage, lifetime tier
viggo is in another cronenberg movie? is it decent like crimes of the future?
It's got a good opening scene and a good final scene. Everything in between varies from dogshit to middling.
Great movie. One of Viggo's best. Maybe acquire some taste? homosexual.
Maybe dive into a trash compactor you tastelet moron mutt
Kek big mad you estrogen ridden little b***h
You're a balding millennial homosexual that belongs in critical drinkers comments section. Kys
Don't know who that is ya fricking whiny little c**t. That your internet crush or something gay boy?
It's always turdworlder homosexuals desperate to be seen as real film critics and cinephiles that latch onto cronenberg.
the movie was based off a graphic novel and was supposed to be seen that way. it was supposed to be outlandish JFC
Yes we know it's supposed to be capeshit trash. It goes out of its way to make that clear.
HOW is it in anyway capeshit tier? read the graphic novel it's like the 20 pages and mostly pictures I think you could handle that. how is it capeshit kek what the frick
unfunny zoomer OP absolutely determined to keep this thread bumped
Shut-in mutt millennial determined to ignoring the fact that he's a sub 6ft midget with no hair
