The two characters portrayed in the film are embarrassing. They are so eager to succeed, but they have never achieved success. They are destroyed by a huge sense of frustration. They use lies to weave confidence, accomplishments, and relationships. Miller sketched a film full of suspicion, despair and destruction, so light and so heavy. "Fox Hunter" goes far beyond the theme of "The winner is always happy and the loser is always sad", but wants to use the film to explore the psychological activities of human beings. This film rarely has dazzling editing. The background music created by Rob Simonsen is quiet and melancholic. With this tone, the camera also creates a quiet atmosphere in the slow progress, but it seems that it can always peek into the deepest heart of people. At the same time, and this silence may be broken every moment, the outbreak is only a matter of time. The sad atmosphere is almost overwhelming in this film. And it's different from that kind of depressing film. The former will make the audience sympathize with the fate of the characters in the film, while the latter usually boils down to despair. "Fox Hunter" is full of sad emotions. The whole film is actually very powerful, but it is not because of the large narrative pattern. Part of the power comes from Miller’s precise and powerful director skills, and more of the performance talents of the three protagonists. It can be said that this is an actor-led type. Videos. Indeed, there is rarely a film that portrays the complex psychology of the characters so accurately. For example, DuPont played by Steve Carell, is a creepy and not completely bad character. For a country like the United States that likes to see small people turn from life losers to strong, this film subverts this logic, but interprets the sad theme of two men with multiple personalities who never received love and respect in the end. "Fox Hunter" is not a sunny film, but it is very powerful, it can touch people's souls. (

The whole film is powerful and heart-palpiting. In the span of ten years, the film reshapes the case that shocked the United States in 1996, when Pennsylvania billionaire John DuPont shot and killed Olympic wrestling champion Dave Schultz. The narrative is gloomy, heavy, powerful, and direct. Whether it is in the understanding of the characters or in the restoration of the Olympic sports world in the late 1980s, the film has achieved a high degree of realism, which shows that the preparation stage has done enough homework. "Fox Hunter" focuses the camera on the violent and intimate collision between male bodies in the competitive world. Only a few movies can express the fierce emotions that rush under the surface. In front of the audience is a "boring" world composed of inadequately aesthetically beautiful scenes such as hotel rooms, changing rooms and school auditoriums. From the dim, winter-like picture to the art direction that highly restores the texture of the late 1980s, the whole film almost completely filters out the warm and bright colors. Rob Simonson's simple soundtrack, and the sound effects switching back and forth between noise and silence, all create a faintly disturbing atmosphere. (
