Good movie based on true events

The movie was released a long time ago, so both the plot and the actors watched the movie without knowing it.
The old video at the beginning made me tremble, and I felt like I was going to give up after a while. But fortunately, I persisted until Channing appeared. As a compatriot, I wouldn't be crazy about it. I mainly met actors who were a little familiar to increase my confidence in the film. Then the Hulk appeared again, and the time and plot were almost explained, telling the story of American sports people in the 1980s. Seeing that the first world champion was such a scumbag, I inexplicably thought of those people in our country who practiced sports and became ill, and finally made a living by themselves, and immediately felt filled with emotion. The appearance of the rich man means that the protagonist is finished.
The picture of helicopter drug use reminds me of The Wolf of Wall Street. Sure enough, all the richest Americans in that era had this hobby. The wrestling scene reminds me of the fighters I've seen before, it's also about sports and about brothers.
The three male protagonists, the rich have a mental illness, can't ask their mother for love, and spend money to find worship. My younger brother’s parents are no longer pulled by his elder brother since he was a child, and he lives under his elder brother’s shadow, feeling that everything he has given to him, including the world champion. My brother is the most normal person, with a family and a career. The film develops with the conflict of the three, until finally the rich man kills his brother to a climax.
After watching the film and checking the information, I found that the director's resume is also brilliant. He has been nominated for Oscar three times. This film is also an Oscar-nominated film, and the starring has also nominated the male lead and male supporting. Everyone in the movie has prototypes, but the plot has been adjusted a lot. For a layman like me, as an Oscar-nominated film, I did not fast-forward and watch it completely, and it is still worth recommending.
In the end, it is actually very tiring to beg Chinese movies to develop well and watch the subtitles all the way.

    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 fatigue.

    Even if you have never heard of the real events on which the adaptation is based, just from Carrell's makeup (sick complexion, exaggerated nose, sluggish expression, and stiff movements), you can already predict that there will be enough subversive events that will lead to the sudden breakdown of the relationship. What's embarrassing is that this striking suspense introduction has never aroused the desire to continue to pay attention. The interaction of the wrestling field manor is usually unremarkable and moody. Decent, waiting for two hours in such a pre-clear and boring storyline to hear that sound? ~~~~ OMG!
