Three shots of American tycoon surprised

When Chinese movies are still obsessed with the most primitive success studies, they continue to argue that "the rich is the uncle", Hollywood biopics on the Pacific Ocean, while creating dreams, have always been keen on breaking dreams. land. No matter how rich and successful people have dreams, they also have inner shadows and darkness, and even more irreparable life deficiencies. At the moment, this is about to be compiled into a routine. Many people classify "Fox Hunter" as a sports film. In my opinion, it is still a common biopic in the Olympic bidding force-it has always been a type of master who competes for and wins the actor's shadow. Therefore, thanks to the advantages of genre, "Fox Hunter" has a very good place. It concentrates on writing people and cuts out other minor details. The film has few dialogues, many prompts, rich inner drama, and accurate emotional states of the characters (some say that the casting director has done a great job). For example, many rival scenes between Mark and Dave, from the wrestling ring to entering the room, each show clearly shows the inner advances and retreats. When Mark appeared, he was inexplicably lost. He had a fighting heart, but he seemed anxious. The movie didn't even bother to explain his history, but let him show the gold medal in front of a group of elementary school students, and talked about family and growth in the subsequent dialogue. The other protagonist DuPont’s appearance is also very interesting. He was first mentioned on the phone, then he was busy at work, and finally on the sofa, staring directly at Mark, like a child focused on wanting to have one. A toy without concealment. He only had a rivalry with his mother, but in such a humble daily confrontation, he appeared completely defeated. As a relatively remote and unpopular competitive sport, the existence of wrestling in the movie is embarrassing. DuPont declared dedication and talked about patriotism. He did use money and material to aid the sport, but he wanted to use wrestling to put gold on his face more. Just like a wealthy child who spends money like earth and has endless energy, he always has to find something to kill his life, women, luxury cars, guns, drugs, friends, friends, or never too much money. Unfortunately, DuPont also fell in love with wrestling. He has repeatedly thrown himself into it, catching the right and wrestling, so that people feel that he is really not entertaining for fun. Even more embarrassing is Dave, a professional sportsman who balances wrestling with life. However, what happened to him was the most absurd-even more resentful and incomprehensible than Mark's falling into the dark. Of course, we can make this interpretation: Money and consortia have stifled the purity of sports and distort the origin of sports competition. For example, when DuPont gave cocaine to Mark, he didn't realize that there was a red line in sports. If he loves this sport, hope this luck The mobilization is so successful, then this thing should not be touched. Obviously, in his opinion, cocaine is like arms and wrestling, these things are nothing more than pastimes, he just wants to play. As long as he can stand on the podium, face the camera, and talk about his success in life. In the end, everything that others do is attributed to the leader himself. DuPont's mother loves horses more than he loves him. Poor DuPont loved birds all his life, and finally found a bunch of people to wrestle. As a result, he couldn't dispel his mother's emotional contempt. He can buy Mark and Dave, but he can't buy real relatives and friends, and the happiness of other people's families. On the other side, Mark, looking for comfort, ran from one place to another, still trapped in the shadow of life. The good guys inevitably want to open the midnight wrestling scene in the middle of the shabu. Mark showed a strange and ambiguous expression, while DuPont was fighting bravely on his back. This scene irritated the real Mark Schultz, thinking that the director deliberately misled the audience. Yes, this is really a true story. The Schultz brothers are really different. They both won the freestyle wrestling championships at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics (different levels). In addition, Mark Schultz is also the co-producer of "Fox Hunter." Deeply poisoned people will also notice the American flag behind DuPont, the connection between their arms and American history, and even think that the movie is not just about wrestling. Money is pervasive, and as far as you think about it, it will be as far away as possible. Kubrick talked about people being enslaved by money and high society in "Eye-Opening", "Fox Hunter" naturally reminds people of this, even sports can't stay out of the matter. However, the director’s intention is not to demonize the rich or to slander some sports. After all, this is the real event first, and then the filming. Not to mention, neither Schultz nor DuPont had any opinion, and the dead could not speak. No matter how much you look at the dark side, it turns out that there are few cases.
