in the name of the father

The film that I wanted to watch when it came out in 2014, I only had the chance to see it in 2016. Although it tells the story of an Olympic wrestling champion, wrestling appears in the film as a symbol, and it is actually about father and son, mother and son, control, desire, and jealousy. The poster is very representative of the tone of the film - black and cold. Steve Carell, who was a comedian, has successfully performed a character that makes people feel chills, as if he will go crazy and kill in the next second, but he has been hanging on the edge. It is said that the director asked him to put the darkest secret in his heart on a piece of paper and put it in his chest pocket, remembering that if the director wants to, he can grab the paper. Maybe that's how the neuroticism of being strong on the outside and being dry on the inside is played out. In the end, I didn't get the approval of my mother, and I couldn't make Mark continue to treat him as a good teacher. At the end, he pointed a gun at Dave (dave represents the family and technical ability that du Pont wanted and couldn't) to question, despair. in the end. I don't know why I thought of Lolita.

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 sloppy.

The story is flat, completely creating a depressing and dull atmosphere a little bit, until the last shot breaks the calm. I could think of a conflict in the end, but I didn't expect that the disagreement between DuPont and Mark made Dave a cannon fodder. Carell's change in the face of an anti-comedy character is profound. The three people's transformation from cooperation to breakup is mostly a delicate relationship between psychological activities.
