Miller found the great and most describing American theme in these three men’s stories: the impact of huge inherited wealth, the ideal that a low-level athlete was forced to give up, and the relationship between material wealth and honor and moral nobility. Peer relationship. (  )
This is Bennett Miller’s best film. The film focuses on the last amazing and unexpected turning point of Steve Carell. The director has fine-tuned this film. To a large extent it stems from the film's profound impulse to think about the privileged class of the United States, the way men prove themselves, brotherly affection, and the most annoying way to defend themselves. The film is weird and tragic. The characters are deeply portrayed and the levels are complex and charming. It even surpasses director Bennett Miller's first two excellent works "Capote" and "Penalty Kick". (  )
"Fox Catcher" is a full-fledged movie that transcends the category of sports biopics. This may be Miller’s best point, and the best film about Americans, American life and American spiritual world. Miller showed admiration for his skill, confidence, and ease in the film. Although the protagonist is the sad and moving Channing Tatum, the original disturbing power of the film comes from Steve Cavill’s revolutionary performance for a "monster created by American wealth" . (    )
The film is a tortuous and methodical real crime film, its moral and spiritual decay far before the crime is committed. (  )
