DuPont is not a hunter. He is dormant in the history of that grand manor and wealthy family. The outdoors is empty and far away from people. Private helicopters are used to enter and exit. The interior is full of portraits of ancestors, photos and old treasures from the family. All this is enough to isolate him from the world. When he came out from the small door leading to the tunnel at the end of the film, the policeman ambushing by the door and the police car in the distance formed a hunting scene (the composition is absolutely absent). The hunter was finally hunted, although only the body was hunted.
Not all rich people are so headstrong. So DuPont’s crux is not really bad temper, but the underdevelopment of personality. From his mode of getting along with the athletes to the behavior of forcing people to admit that he is a "mentor, father, leader", they all resemble the "My father is rich, you all have to listen to me" in children's movies. Bully. This is probably the true state of his childhood (the only "friend" is the driver’s son, which undoubtedly implies that DuPont’s poor communication in the school and other external environments), and the parents either did not pay enough attention to this, or blindly used money to solve it, and the result was even worse. . DuPont will anger his mother's dissatisfaction with his mother's "toy"-the horse, and desperately seeking approval from his mother at an age is already an obvious personality of a giant baby. In reality, the general situation is that when the mother was young, she spent most of her time playing the role of a lady and participating in social interactions, ignoring parent-child communication. But in the only direct conversation between mother and child in the film, what the mother wanted to talk about was "handling the toy train", indicating that she was obviously responsible for the connivance and failure of education for her son's "not growing up".
On the other hand, Channing Tatum really found a treasure. His acting skills are indeed thin, but this role just needs a little "well-developed limbs and simple mind" temperament. Mark is also a giant baby with immature mind: a rich man who never knew each other said casually, he moved into the manor without hesitation (no wonder the lawyer wanted to investigate his "not graduated from college"); he was completely influenced by DuPont's emotions and emotions. , There is no conscientiousness of circumvention; not knowing how to self-regulate, a slap can be wronged for a whole year; lacking a minimum of rationality and self-control, after losing the game, he would rather give up himself than ask his brother for help...Under the background of these naive behaviors, His so-called "shadow accusation" to his brother was like a second joke. He does have a passion for the sport of wrestling. As soon as he saw the venue prepared by DuPont, he immediately started to move with excitement (also like a child getting a favorite toy); but he has never been able to act on opponents like Dave. A comprehensive analysis and summary of actual combat did not evolve into the wisdom and talents of a coach. Therefore, after completely losing his brother, his place can only be an underground fighting arena.
Giant babies can only hunt giant babies, because most adults will see what kind of monster he is. But a rich giant baby is worse than a child with poison. He could buy the entire wrestling association for $500,000, and he was patriotic. (The irony is that he was asked by DuPont to "honor his country" Mark from the beginning, and finally he met an opponent from the Soviet Union in the underground fighting arena. ). It is understandable for a person of sound personality to freely pursue personal hobbies without having to work to earn a living. But DuPont is just a giant baby. He couldn't earnestly engage in a certain kind of career and research, let alone obtain real professional achievements, and was only satisfied with the kid's trick of spending money to cheat. Bennett Miller showed the most real and pure "so poor that only money is left." It is interesting to note that he did not let DuPont use money to buy marriage or sex (I don't know what the reality is)-because it is too adult.
However, the giant infant can buy weapons and hunt down people he doesn't like-DuPont's anger has not even risen to the level of "If you don't get you, you will be ruined." He witnessed Mark's loss when he left, and it was more like "Why didn't you play with me" grievance. But for Dave, he really has the kindergarten resentment of "why everyone is playing with you". As a result, the ominous circling for 120 minutes finally turned into an absurd tragedy.
The old saying goes about saving children, but who can save these giant babies?
