Not quite. Someone asked him to describe what violence is, not demonstrate it physically like an infant throwing their toys out of the pram. In fact Harris move was a response to the producer who scolded the others earlier by pounding on the desk. Harris childish outburst made the director (David Cronenberg) and the rest get out of their chairs and move away from the mid 40s baby, throwing a glass was immature and could injure someone. Cronenberg wasn't expecting that and said after he wasn't happy about it..
No comment on the film, but some of these actors really are pretty infantile. :wink:

Violent outbursts at press conferences aren't acceptable or appropriate, which is why they quickly wound up proceedings and everyone left in a hurry. So not really provoking a discussion, and questions and answers were terminated, the bloke was left looking like a nutter who had a meltdown.

Errr...No. The video on YouTube is highly edited and out of context. Someone in the audience asked what is violence and he demonstrated an example of physical violence. The video is then edited to seem as if they suddenly stopped the interview. Sadly I don't think the original is still up on YouTube as the people don't like the unedited version and would rather watch a "nutter who had a meltdown". :disappointed:

Also notable for Ed Harris' meltdown at the press conference where he punched the table and smashed a bottle.. Is violence necessary at press conferences or not, this is very important question.. Either way, Harris is cleared unhinged !

It wasn't a meltdown, he was trying to make a point about violence and what's acceptable. Just usually actors sit there and nod and answer questions, but he was trying to raise the questions and to provoke thought around the subject.

Thanks for posting. Ordered, OP. History of Violence is one of my all time favourite films. It's actually deeper than it appears exploring the nature and role of violence in society. Is it still required? Is it a necessity even though everyone seems to throw scorn on it. Obviously Maria Bello is a bonus, but the film also explores the nature of relationships. How well do we know those we think we know, whether they be a partner, mother, father, etc? And what is the fundamental ingredient that keeps those relationships working?
