What?s the deal with Canadian directors putting graphic sex and disturbing images into their films?
Is it a part of our cultural identity that I just missed?
This weekend, I watched A History of Violence, directed by Canadian David Cronenberg, and starring Viggo Mortensen.
Apart from five or six gunfights, which have no shortage of blood and gore, the movie contains two graphic sex scenes, an isolated case of full frontal nudity, and more swearing than I could keep track of.
I don?t mind; I?m already pretty desensitized.
But while I’m sure that Cronenberg would argue that the scenes in question are necessary character development, that’s open to discussion.
A History of Violence is basically about Tom Stall (Mortensen) a simple, small-town man with a wife and kids whose life takes an unexpected turn when two men try to rob the diner he owns.
Stall foils the robbery and kills the two robbers, who were wanted criminals, and subsequently finds himself labeled a hero and thrust into a lot of media attention.
With the media attention come a group of mobsters from Philadelphia who are convinced that he?s Joey Cusack, a reformed hitman who left Philadelphia a number of years earlier.
With all of this going on, the movie is tough to classify.
It moves seamlessly from a gun-happy action movie, to a heartfelt drama movie, and in parts a mafia movie.
All three genres are pulled off with authenticity and solid direction.
The most pleasant part about it was that it took on the mafia movie stereotype from a totally different angle.
The only issue I really had with movie was the ending.
I won?t spoil anything, but it struck me as though it ducked out and avoided actually ending the movie; it left me unsatisfied.
The other film that fuels my remark about sex-crazed Canadian directors is the much-vaunted Where The Truth Lies, directed by Atom Egoyan which has garnered an NC-17 rating in the U.S.
I haven?t seen the film yet, but allegedly there?s a threesome with Kevin Bacon, Colin Firth, and Rachel Blanchard.
It?s gained a lot of press because the sex scene is relatively long, and apparently what the MPAA rating board found most offensive was the ?thrusting.?
I can understand the concerns of the MPAA and Christian activist groups who want such movies banned, but if I may, I think I can offer a different perspective of the issue.
I come from the age of desensitization.
I was the first generation who got their hands on some really violent videogames, and at age 12 I was blowing the heads off bad guys.
I also had the benefit of growing up in the ?90s just as the Internet was growing up, and I got into a whole bunch of stuff before parents realized that such things should probably controlled.
As such, the actual acts of sex and violence in movies don?t even register to me as something that should be considered as a separate thing from the rest of the movie.
The only question becomes: are they positively contributing to the film?
I think it did, but like I said, I?m pretty desensitized to this sort of thing.
If I think that Egoyan?s film is totally gratuitous, I?ll let you know when I see it.
