      After Watching the Movie "Foxcatcher"

      The actor's performance suppressed the tone of the movie from the very beginning. David and the children were waiting for me to play, and it became the only funny part of this movie. It seemed abrupt in the depression.

      There may be many similarities between David and Mark, and mother to Dupont, but what Mark gets from his brother David are love and strength.

      Mark and David won the first Olympic gold medal together, but they were still penniless and no one knew. After giving the...

      Foxcatcher--Judgment On Freedom And Dreams

      After watching "Birdman" the day before, I deeply felt that this film would definitely win the best picture at this year's Oscars. I watched "Foxcatcher" yesterday, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally felt that this film should be the crown.

      Fox Hunter is a true story set in the tragic tale of former wrestling Olympic...

      How important is the unreserved love of parents

      There are mountains of gold and mountains of silver, and you can satisfy your material desires at will. But there are some things money can't buy, like a healthy childhood. Mr. Dupont obviously did not receive sufficient maternal and paternal love in his childhood, and did not develop the self-confidence and mental health independent of his wealth and social status. He is vain, he needs honor, he needs recognition of his professionalism and recognition of his personal achievements by someone...

      The darkness behind the screen may be more than you think

      John. DuPont (John Eleuthère du Pont, 1938--2010) was born in the rich DuPont family in the United States (the DuPont Group is theirs). His father abandoned his wife and children when he was 2 years old, and DuPont and several of his older siblings were raised by their tough mother alone on the family-owned Foxcathcher farm outside Philadelphia. After several older brothers and sisters left home, he and his mother lived on the farm until her mother died in 1988 at the age of 91. Like...

      Integrity in interests

      Patriotism that is not selfish, that is not for one's own heart and country, is not selfish, and has no interests is false. Either get honor from it, or get money from it.
      A millionaire who loves wrestling, spreads his patriotic spirit in the form of selfishness, and selects the wrestling champion Mark to be his patriotic trailblazer. The millionaire DuPont asks Mark to invite his brother to be an assistant coach because he feels On this patriotic road, his brother (Dave) is an...

      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...

    Movie plot

    Based on real events, "Fox Hunter" tells a tragic story: John DuPont, the heir of DuPont Group, wants Olympic gold medalist Mark Schultz to help DuPont Real Estate organize a team to participate in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Mark seized this opportunity and hoped to get out of the shadow of his respected brother Dave.
    Under the aura of DuPont Group, Mark increasingly relied on his "beneficiary." At first everything went well, but DuPont's...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Tatum and Ruffalo trained for 6 months to play wrestlers. In one scene, Tatum insisted that the latter "slap" himself hard, but Ruffalo slapped him and caused his eardrum to rupture.
    Steve Carell spent a lot of time studying images and materials left by DuPont and reading text about him. When talking about why Carell was chosen as a "comedian", Miller said, "I think all comedians are very dark."
    In addition to filming, Tatum and Ruffalo...

    Foreign Media

    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. ( Comment by "Daily Telegraph"   )
    This is Bennett Miller’s best film. The film focuses on the last amazing and unexpected turning point of Steve Carell. The...

    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",...
