Bronson (2008)


According to pop psychology, a child raised with poor social skills is more likely to express him or herself through violence. When something is troubling them, rather than express their frustration verbally, they are more likely to resort to physical means to "get it out". If you ask me, this isn't too far removed from the impetus that moves an artist to create. Hans Christian Andersen is even credited as saying, "When words fail, music speaks." The same goes for dance, painting, filmmaking and all the other arts. In the case of Charlie Bronson, his art is violence. This is how he expresses himself. And unlike others that might dabble here and there, Bronson is a master at his craft.
