Extremely chilling and stern, Miller's sports biography is really a genre of its own. The subtle control of the characters' mentality and the description of the turbulent emotions under calm have reached a rare and profound level. It's just that the usual mommy issue has been brilliantly interpreted as a human tragedy. Carell and Uncle Green acted so well, the scene of "DuPont is my life mentor" was so tormented that it was almost unbearable to...

In terms of plot, there is almost no "behind-the-scenes story". But like direct cinema, as long as you spend enough time with the subject, the truth will naturally emerge. The only downside is that individual transitions are a bit...

Bennett Miller's three feature films are all based on real events, and each time he can choose an unexpected point of view to cut in, resulting in a very extraordinary effect: this kind of de-drama, relying on the emotions of the characters to advance the film. The method of development requires too much skill. In the end, the rich man who advertised to make the United States take off again, shot and killed the representative of the American dream with a happy family and a good job. It is cruel...

Boss Qian is such a suffocating character. Steve played too well in World's Best Boss. After reading it halfway through, he realized that it was Dupont who bought his younger brother like a beast. Like a big and beautiful sparkling animal, but not like an athlete. It's as easy to control as a dog, and his wrestling skills are about the same as Jin Sanpang's in football. His brother is almost his opposite. Boss Du's self-proclaimed fatherhood is broken in front of his...

A cold dream-breaking movie without important female characters, but it's not ugly. As soon as DuPont appeared on the stage, he was very impressed by the expression he stared straight at Mark. Later, he felt that it was more like a child's outward expression of wanting to possess a toy. However, this kind of character setting (whether it is a real biographical character or a fictional movie character) that the father does not love the mother does not love, I really see too much. Lonely and...

Bennett Miller's "Fox Hunter" has a strange taste, suppressing cold violence and neurosis, and the undisguised loneliness and emptiness permeate people's hearts. The wrestling between the two men is related to the director's strength, which is more stable than the previous "Capote" and "Moneyball". Steve Carell's acting is top-notch, and he has a match for "Birdman" Michael...

The story is flat, completely creating a depressing and dull atmosphere a little bit, until the last shot breaks the calm. I could think of a conflict in the end, but I didn't expect that the disagreement between DuPont and Mark made Dave a cannon fodder. Carell's change in the face of an anti-comedy character is profound. The three people's transformation from cooperation to breakup is mostly a delicate relationship between psychological...

[first lines]
Mark Schultz: [Mark gives a speech to a school of young students] Hello. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you today. My name is Mark Schultz. I wanna talk about America, and I wanna tell you why I wrestle.
[Mark holds up his Olympic gold metal to the kids]
Mark Schultz: This is an Olympic gold metal. I won this three years ago at the 23rd Olympic games in Los Angeles, California. This is more than just some piece of metal. It's about what the metal represents. The virtues it requires to attain it.

[Mark's first meeting with John du Pont]
John du Pont: You look good. You look strong. Fit.
Mark Schultz: Thank you, sir.
John du Pont: Feeling confident?
[Mark nods yes]
John du Pont: That's one of the most important elements of entering a match is feeling the confidence, knowing that you're going to win. Feeling it inside. If you get - go to a match knowing you're going to win that match, odds are you're going to win that match. You're training with your brother Dave?
Mark Schultz: Yes, sir.
John du Pont: Great Dave Schultz?
Mark Schultz: Yeah.
John du Pont: And I'm talking to the great Mark Schultz. Do you have any idea why I asked you to come here?
Mark Schultz: No.
John du Pont: No. Well, Mark, do you - do you have any idea who I am?
Mark Schultz: No. No.
John du Pont: Some rich guy calls you on the phone. I want the great Mark Schultz to come visit me. Well, I'm a - I'm a wrestling coach. And I have a deep love of the sport of wrestling. And I wanted to speak with you about your future. About what you hope to achieve. What do you hope to achieve, Mark?
Mark Schultz: Well, I wanna be the best in the world. I wanna go to the Worlds and win gold. I wanna go to the '88 Olympics and win gold.
John du Pont: Good. I'm proud of you. Are you getting the support that you need?
Mark Schultz: What do you mean, sir?
John du Pont: Well, you know how the soviets support their wrestlers.
Mark Schultz: I do.
John du Pont: Mark, we as a nation have failed to honor you. And that's a problem. Not just for you, but for our society. When we fail to honor that which should be honored, it's a problem. It's a canary in a coal mine. Do you bird-watch?
Mark Schultz: Uh, no.
John du Pont: You can learn a lot from birds. I'm an ornithologist. But more importantly, I am a patriot. And I want to see this country soar again.
Mark Schultz: I want that too.
John du Pont: I can see that.
