Some thoughts on the final shot

Eriberto 2021-11-29 08:01:18

Maybe some people think that this film is a bit boring, the theme is not obvious, or even there is no peeing point. 2 hours of depression. In fact, the story expressed in the film is still incapable of understanding the truth. Why DuPont wanted to shoot Dave and
start with mark. It’s a child who has lacked his father’s love since he was a child. The older brother Dave took him up. Dave is an excellent wrestler. From the final story, he can be selected into the Wrestling Hall of Fame. We will know that the wrestling mark is far inferior to the Dave movie. There is a period of wrestling between the two brothers. It can be seen that the relationship between Mark and Dave is very subtle. Are you dave? Mark was very disappointed to say that he was a mark and at the same time emphasized that he had also won a gold medal. Mark had hoped to be recognized by others since he was a child.
Joining the DuPont family, he seems to have been recognized by the world. He worked hard and energetic. He asked Dave to train together, but his heart was contradictory. On the one hand, he was worried that he would not be able to win the trophy without his brother. On the other hand, I also hope that Dave will not go to the farm, and Mark wants to prove that he has this ability.
Let's talk about DuPont, DuPont is not young, but he did not show all the maturity of that age, all of which originated from his mother. His mother has no love for him. From the conversation with toys when he was a child, it can be seen that DuPont very much wanted his mother's approval, so he planned to use wrestling competitions to prove himself, and even prove himself a great The coach, in fact, he doesn't understand wrestling at all. To put it awkwardly, he actually doesn't care about wrestling in his heart. What wrestling brought him was nothing more than a heart that his mother recognized.
Dave, this person has nothing to say, perfect, family environment, good. Wife, child, good. Wrestling, good. It's good to be a man. This is not only a normal person, but also a normal person that everyone will envy.
When Mark first came to the farm, everything seemed very beautiful, it seemed to be a gift from heaven
But it's not the case, it's just that two people with deformities have found their respective destinations. DuPont wants mark to prove to his mother that he is capable. And Mark wants to use DuPont to prove to his brother Dave that he is capable. Everything is good at the beginning. Here I want to bring up the topic of homosexuality a little bit. In my opinion, DuPont likes mark. DuPont is such an old age and is not married. This is a problem in itself. In addition, mark is gay. There is always something between individuals, but it is not obvious in the movie.
However, a billionaire is always inferior to a good coach. DuPont’s sluggish life ruined Mark, drinking, taking drugs, and overeating, bringing the two people’s cooperation to a deadlock. Knowing that DuPont slapped Mark, the grateful ape man, The relationship between the two people is at a bottom. At this time, the perfect dave appears like a savior (here I want to explain, if there is no Dave, maybe the two will go on as before, but maybe the gold medal is hopeless a.
appears dave help mark won the gold medal, but also his relationship farther from DuPont, DuPont and in contradiction, and in the end is the mother or recognition is important, or mark important? mother's death is a fuse DuPont had no way to prove himself like others, so he began to make documentary films. He wanted to be the coach of USA. He wanted the whole world to recognize him. In fact, what he wanted most was the affirmation of Mark. However, under the double stimulation Mark is no longer able to win the gold medal, but his brother’s gang seems to be taunting. DuPont’s indifference made him farther and farther away from the gold medal. In the
end Mark left the farm, which is why he finally went to the fighting competition. Only there he was free, without DuPont, without his brother, he could do whatever he wanted.
And DuPont fell into a lonely situation, until he finally saw the video, he knew that he was really right to mark With the feelings of his brother and dad’s family, he vented all his anger on Dave. The misfortune of the family, Mark’s departure, and even the death of his mother, he thought it was Dave’s fault, which directly caused the following Tragedy.
