In fact, what supports my view is not only the title of the film, but also the issue of the protagonist in the film. Who is the protagonist of this movie? The first brother to appear? Or the originator of the story, Mr. Dupont? In fact, in my opinion, the protagonist in the film is not just one person, but a type of person. This type of person is "FOXCHTCHER", and the representatives in the film are his younger brother and Mr. DuPont. In fact, if you compare these two people carefully, you can find that their lives have been following the footsteps of others, in other words, they are always living in the shadow of others. Although the younger brother has also won gold medals in various ways, as he said, it is largely based on the help of his older brother; and Mr. Dupont is a rich second generation, but he always lives in the shadow of his mother. , and like his younger brother, his "success" was built on the help of his mother (direct inheritance). Such similar life trajectories have created their ultimate pursuit in life, like a fox hound, mad and chasing after the fox in front at all costs, not knowing what they want. This is also true of the younger brother. It was especially obvious after he left his brother and went to a foreign country. And I think that's why Mr. Dupont always regards his brother as his friend, because they are so similar.
What should one pursue in life? In fact, this question is so difficult to answer that the movie just gives us a wrong example instead of giving us the right answer. From childhood to adulthood, there are countless "Xiao Ming from the next door" around us at every stage of life. When we go to school, we have Xiao Ming who is good at studying. When we work, we have Xiao Ming who earns a lot of money (good company), and when we get married. There are Xiao Ming who married beautiful and virtuous girls, these Xiao Ming may be our friends or relatives, or just hearsay, but they are like all kinds of colorful foxes to seduce us, and some people will inevitably become irrational The foxhound eventually lost himself. In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of life you live, the important thing is that you don't blindly follow the trend, you know what you really want to become a winner in life.
PS: I don't believe that such a rich Mr. Dupont will eventually die in prison, maybe he is enjoying the sun on the beach of the Caribbean Sea. The SARFT in the United States has once again forcibly brought rich criminals to justice. . .
