	The End of Violence / Wim Wenders - The Official Site
		And the reality is, we see people standing on the street corners talking to somebody on the phone and not realizing where they are and not seeing everybody else around them.
		Wim Wenders concern with violence, particularly in movies, is literal rather than merely metaphorical.
		And Mike at the end of this film is really more in touch with everybody than he could have ever been as a film producer.

	Metroactive Movies \| The End of Violence
		The End of Violence received a cold shoulder at the Cannes Film Festival and was recut to make the ending more palatable (the film fades into a transcendental helicopter shot now).
		The End of Violence emerged as a side project from a stalemated science-fiction movie on which Wenders, scriptwriter Nicholas Klein and U2's Bono were collaborating.
		The End of Violence is a exhausted film that limps, over the course of the months it takes place, into an unshaped, vague ending.

	An Interview with WIM WENDERS for 'The End Of Violence' (Celluloid) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Although The End Of Violence is an essay in which characters debate through their actions and thoughts what their definition of violence is, it is also the culmination of two and a half years of discussion on the topic of screen violence.
		There is also the question of whether, throughout his tapestry of films, we have glanced into the corridors of his own soul; the wanderlust, the alienation and the sense of ambiguity that his characters seem to embody and the surreal apocalypse of a world confused about where it has been and where it is going.
		At a guess, The End Of Violence is the benchmark for yet another turning point, and this time it appears the auteur is preoccupied with the tide of fear, paranoia and the revelation of one single incident changing a persons life.

		Inexorably, they draw together, the purveyor of illusory violence and the observer of real crime, in a meeting that will be the salvation and the downfall of both.
		The End of Violence may be Wenders's most complexly and rigorously plotted films, with stray story threads involving Paige, who takes on Max's ruthless-honcho role in his absence, and "Doc" Rock, a movie-smitten detective who pursues Max's case, as well as the enigmatic Cat.
		Mostly Wenders avoids the temptation to preach; The End of Violence is not a message but a meditation, a look at the possibility that the greatest act of violence might be the act of observation itself.

		If his new film, "The End of Violence," is by far his best work since "Wings of Desire," that says almost nothing.
		No answers were offered by the unthinkably awful "Until the End of the World" (1991), a doofus fashion-kitten travelogue with all the exotic languor, non-sequitur dialogue and plot impenetrability of a three-hour Anne Klein commercial.
		Although "The End of Violence" is far from an unqualified success, it at least shows signs of a struggle, signs that the collapse of the Berlin Wall did not crush Wenders' spirit.

		The powers that be predict that this work can lead to an end of violence, but Dering is not sure the end justifies the means.
		At one point, the detective is asked for a definition of violence and he replies: "fear, absence of love, emotional revenge." This fluid and mesmerizing drama covers those sources and adds other variations including paranoia, the violation of privacy, distrust of strangers, and the myth of violence as a way of solving problems or entertaining.
		The detective also hints at the true antidote to violence through his understanding of a truth from modern physics: "If you just look at an object, you change it." And there are many ways to see.

		Wim Wenders's latest film, The End Of Violence, is structurally more like something one would expect to see from Atom Egoyan: the film drops in on scenes from various characters' lives that are presented in an initially disconnected fashion, certain interactions and developments are implied rather than stated, and eventually the dots start connecting.
		The theme that seems to unite The End Of Violence is how people react to the increasing cold-heartedness of modern society and how technology contributes to this trend.
		The End Of Violence is not a perfect film, but the change in the Pullman character and the enigmatic scenes with Byrne are enough to make it worth watching.

		Judging by his new film, The End of Violence, his field would be abstract expressionism.

	The End of Violence
		The End of Violence is another Wenders rumination on the nature of modern American society, and maybe it's just one too many.
		Until the End of the World suffered from many of the same shortcomings, but The End of Violence doesn't have that movie's scope or sense of purpose.
		By contrast, The End of Violence suffers mightily in its casting of Andie MacDowell, perhaps the worst actor ever to be rated so highly by her peers, in an important role.

		Ostensibly a thriller, the film has little onscreen violence, but shadowy threats prowl around the edges, and echoes of unseen murders permeate the picture.
		I'm curiously drawn to movies which seem to be panned by the majority of working and amateur critics, yet are staunchly defended by a small coterie of reputable adherents.
		Case in point: The End of Violence -- 26% on Rotten Tomatoes' "tomatometer", just 10% on their "cream of the crop"; not to mention a very mediocre average 3-star rating here on Amazon and a mere 5.5 out of 10 on IMDb.

	The last thing enviros need now is a bout of radicalism \| By David Roberts \| Grist Magazine \| Soapbox \| 22 Nov 2004
		Karl Rove gets this; it's why he had Bush doing victory laps through obviously blue states toward the end of 2000's squeaky-close election.
		Spiking trees and blocking roads can be incredibly effective as emergency measures to stop specific timber harvests, but as a primary strategy they are a mark, like all violence, of marginalization and helplessness -- of losing.
		The proper reaction to Bush's mind-bendingly disheartening victory is not to fight with more violence but to fight with more savvy.

	CNN - Review: "The End of Violence" is just a jumble - Sept. 16, 1997
		As I was entering the theater to watch Wim Wenders' new movie, "The End of Violence," two old ladies who had just seen it passed me on their way out and wished me good luck.
		After a while I was reminded of that bizarre David Lynch vibe, the one where you feel like you're watching someone dance the twist while their batteries are running down to nothing.
		I'll tell you the plot, but I don't want to imply that the story is composed of interconnected events, at least not the kind that lead to something as quaint as an ending.

		"The End of Violence" soundtrack follows a similar formula as the "Until the End of the World" and "Faraway, So Close!" albums -- each seems designed to play over and over on the worst days of your life.
		The whole thing is framed by a trembling, jazzy score by Ry Cooder that's perched perfectly between joy and paranoia.
		On "The End of Violence," Waits' "Little Drop of Poison," plays the role that Nick Cave and Johnny Cash have on other Wenders soundtracks.

		The End of Violence effectively weaves the strands of two tenuously connected main storylines and a few intriguing subplots to culminate in a profound meditation on the effects (real, imagined, and potential) of unfettered government, entertainment, and technology.
		We also see the theme's manifestation in the thoughts and actions of the other main protagonist: an ex-NASA software engineer named Ray (Gabriel Byrne), an ostensibly innocent overseer of a new state-of-the-art government surveillance system in Los Angeles who discovers that the apprehensions he once had concerning the system are being made frighteningly valid.
		The End of Violence invites thoughtful contemplation of serious issues in a very stylish (dare I say European?) manner.

	The End of Violence . Newcity Chicago . 10-27-97
		With his exquisite sense of composition and color, of camera motion and musical accompaniment, Wenders' movies make plot and characterization seem almost beside the point.
		Unfortunately, in a movie as lushly imagined and seductively photographed as "The End of Violence," when story rears its shaggy head, most audiences will smirk or even laugh aloud.
		"The End of Violence" opens with a bravura sequence that demonstrates the separation between the portrayal of violence and violence itself that's an utter knockout, but when Wenders attempts to engage larger ideas as his simplistic story progresses, he's far less successful.

		raises some thorny questions about popular culture and its commodification of the violence that threatens to throw our everyday lives into disarray, but the examination of the tiny connections and disruptions that can occur between wildly different people is the film's most intriguing asset.

		The End of Violence isn't a bad film.
		Part of the problem is that Wenders relies heavily on stereotypical situations and one-dimensional characters, such as the two would-be assassins who are supposed to take Max's life, but end up losing their own.
		Then there are the Hispanic gardeners (Enrique Castillo, Sal Lopez and Ulises Cuada) who save Max's life and risk their own to help him find out who's out to get him.
