    Bennett Miller has basically formed his own set of things, and even went further than the previous "Penalty Kick". Even if this is a sports theme, it has nothing to do with blood. He tells his story in his own way, hides many emotions behind the film, and drives the film with character relationships. The performances of the three actors were excellent, and Steve Carell dedicated a completely different performance from the past, not just a change in...

    As expected, this year’s Olympic bid is still the main character biographies and changes in popular social events. The directors and performances are all textbook-level, the technical regulations are neat, the tone is cold and heavy, the topic selection is clever and sleek, and the grid is full, and the judges are greeted. But you can see that these four or five years have basically been a behavior, it is really Nima’s aesthetic...

    Miller's grasp of the rhythm and calm photography style almost give people the illusion of a Vinci movie. He is really a master of sports themes. This slow, calm, and unknowingly cold climax construction is very charming. The rhythm of the film and the final climax of the character DuPont follow the left-hand fist surprise victory method mentioned in the film, but it is more powerful than the general story-driven film that it uses psychological advancement, which is...

    Suspended, everything is hidden in the image. Gloomy but full of tension. I think DuPont loves...

    1. People who don’t know how to love and no one loves are so lonely, a kind of cold deep into the bone marrow, a sick look in the eyes, thinking that the whole world is against him; 2. That gunshot shocked me fainted. This is how the good life and the happy life are over. Sometimes life is just such a rapid turn; 3. People who are not confident about themselves will feel that they are living in a...

    This film does not provide any in-depth interpretation of the characters? The occurrence of the incident is more a display on the surface, without providing any internal logic. And the biggest impression of Carell's performance is: Is he always raising his head for fear of falling off his fake nose? Unintelligible...

John finally completed the self-transfer of patriarchy by killing Deve, and Mark was thus able to become...

Foxcatcher quotes

  • [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?

    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.
