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...

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...

[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.
[Mark and John du Pont stare out at the morning forest of Valley Forge]
John du Pont: Three thousand men died here. These patriots were willing to give up everything... including their lives... for freedom. I like to come here to remind myself what really matters. We're going to do great things, Mark. Great things.
Mark Schultz: Yes, sir.
