Based on true events, "Foxcatcher" tells a sad and tragic story: DuPont heir John DuPont wants Olympic gold medalist Mark Schultz to help DuPont put together a team for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Mark seizes the opportunity and hopes to get out of the shadow of his respected brother Dave.
Under the aura of the DuPont Group, Mark became more and more dependent on his "beneficiary". Everything went well at first, but DuPont's fickle disposition and wrong guidance gradually began to affect Mark's training. Before long, DuPont's weirdness and cruelty undercut Mark's already shaky self-esteem. At the same time, DuPont also shifted its interest to Dave. Under his alienation, the three finally walked into the abyss of tragedy. Mark eventually left DuPont, whom he once considered his "mentor" and "father." And one winter eight years later, DuPont shot Dave in front of his wife and DuPont bodyguards, killing the former Olympic and world champion with three bullets.
Dupont was subsequently arrested, later convicted of third-degree murder, and died in prison at the age of 72.
DuPont's mother likes to raise horses. Although DuPont's foxer, Mark Schultz, won the Olympic championship, she also accused her son of being too low and inheriting the DuPont family's huge property. John can do whatever he wants, but he always lives in his mother's house. in the shadow.
Just as Mark has been living in the shadow of his brother Dave. Dave's wife and children's family harmony is in contrast to Mark's loneliness.
Originally, under the training of my brother, the mark technology became more and more mature. After being taken to foxcacher by John, he taught him to take cocaine and perform various perverted trainings. Finally, when Mark and the team rested to watch a documentary without training, John slapped him in the face. , the relationship between the two broke down. John tried to find a way to invite Dave, but Dave came to foxcatcher on the condition that his younger brother could get sponsorship. He continued to care for his younger brother, who continued to live in his shadow.
One of the interesting clues in the middle is the news interview. John asked Mark to practice his lines and Dave to say that he is Mark's mentor... Under the surface halo, under the comfort of seemingly successful, John lives in a twisted way. In the end, when his mother died, he also went to the brink of crime. .
There are still a lot of things worth thinking about, so keep these for future memories. 3 stars, because the plot progresses too slowly. .
