DuPont is a top businessman, but he has spent his life pursuing his mother's approval, and he is also immersed in the obsession of being the spiritual leader of others. Under his own power, he can use capital to build up his hobbies, and he can also use capital to buy the honor of winning wrestling, but he does not dare to say anything to his mother, and only dares to let go of her horse after her mother goes west to vent himself. emotion. After a long period of precipitation, the twisted character and the obsession of being the spiritual leader of others made DuPont finally let himself go on the road of crime when facing the threat of David's brother, causing many tragedies. DuPont's sitting posture in the movie and his unrequited expression always make him feel that his heart is really empty.

Mark, the Olympic gold medalist, knows the bottleneck of his career, and also knows that he must seize the opportunity when faced with it. But he doesn't know much about the reality of society. Capitalists will always do things that are beneficial. He also doesn't know that he has been dependent on his brother for so many years. His brother's careful care of him has made him not as mature as his peers. So he could be brainwashed by the history of the DuPont family. When DuPont used verbal violence against him, his reaction was to get angry, betting with DuPont and his brother. The failure of that game completely broke his mind. When he was most lonely and helpless, his brother stayed by his side as always to solve problems with him. Grateful, he went back again, to the role that always needed to be protected by his brother. It was not until his brother was killed that Dupont was angered by protecting him in the end, and it was at this time that he really took on his own life. At the end of the film he is in the wrestling club, his back becomes tougher and his face more painful, but this pain makes people stronger and more attractive.

David, he never knew what he wanted. Mark said that when DuPont asked him to go with them when he found them, he refused, and Mark did not want to continue to leave together at Fox Hunter, and he also refused. Because he had a grudge against his early days of living without a fixed place, he wanted too much to have a stable life and then protect his family. So the Seoul Olympics Mark failed, David would use himself to blackmail DuPont, and he would stress to DuPont, who drove to him, that it was family time on the weekend.

It is probably that everything is connected, and there are reasons for people's personalities and decisions.

    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 watch.

    There are too many dialogue shots on the front and back, otherwise it won’t be so dull
