"Foxcatcher" is based on a true story. One of the parties, Mark Schultz, acted as a co-producer as an inconspicuous referee. This film is dedicated to his brother who is also his father and brother, as the victim's younger brother. Such a way of reconciliation, stepping out of the past, out of the care of my brother who accompanies him like a shadow.
The story begins with Mark Schultz's speech to a group of elementary school students. Mark, who is not good at words, holds the 1984 Olympic gold medal and plausibly said, this is not a gold medal, but a national honor. The children in the audience looked blank. , and his surging heart is like a double world of ice and fire. In the next shot, the clerk paid Mark $20 for his speech, and repeatedly confirmed that Mark was David, and Mark's dull and forbearing expression clearly showed his embarrassment. Then, the camera followed the wrestling world champion, living in a motel-like room, eating instant noodles with tomato sauce, and training with his brother David, who is also a world champion.
Miller, who has filmed the famous "Capote" and the "Moneyball" insinuating the success of learning, this is the third film he directed. It is still the style of biopics that respects facts. This time, he is even more promoted. A person-centred rather than event-centred philosophy of expression. Therefore, the film spends a large number of scenes to lay out the past of the two brothers Mark and David, as a foreplay for the ending that DuPont brought them to death.
The best part of this group of foreplay is the scene where the two brothers are training. In the process of the brother making muscles for the younger brother, it can be seen that the brothers who have been divorced since childhood depended on each other and gave and accepted each other. The movements of relaxation and pressing were done with all one's heart, while the younger brother showed an absent-minded affection. The elder brother controlled the rhythm of the warm-up and tried to wake up the younger brother's absence with a back throw, but the younger brother became angry, raised his forearm and hit the elder brother in the face, the capillaries on the bridge of the nose were ruptured, and the elder brother wiped off the blood with a T-shirt. Immediately, he subdued his younger brother to the ground. After five countdowns, he still couldn't move, and his younger brother Mark's face was full of tears.
Hand-to-hand combat has become a wrestling and dialogue between brothers.
Many Olympic champions like Mark are in a dilemma after the peak, which is also equivalent to the loss of ordinary people after the peak of their career, the attachment to the past and the choice of the future, being wanted too much and being able to do too little The one caught in between was uncomfortable.
In fact, it is not only Diaosi who suffers, but also a rich second generation like DuPont. When he stands on the battlefield of his ancestors and is immersed in the supreme glory of conquering the country, he will feel more and more insignificant. Due to the great achievements and admiration of his ancestors, as a family heir, he is lackluster, so he wants to build his own followers and even his own empire. So, he built a wrestling training ground in the manor, recruited the unhappy Mark, and formed the Fox Hunter team; he sponsored the national team, named himself the national team coach, and packaged himself as a mentor competing for national honor. He's tired of guns and ammo, birds and foxes, and his next toy is people, people like Mark and David who play his favorite wrestling at the highest level.
After Mark won the world championship, on the special plane that DuPont and Mark flew to the Congressman's dinner, he taught Mark to practice his speech, and told him to read the names of those ornithologists, philatelists and philanthropists more beautifully; Also taught Mark to smoke cocaine, take a custom wallet, and smoke more gracefully. At this moment, he has completely bound Mark, and used these two ways to enter the upper class. Mark is a playmate he pulled after self-healing. Soon, this playmate was no longer fun. Mark was unable to improve himself in wrestling and was willing to degenerate. Therefore, he recruited David by means of funding, and asked David to be a coach.
Like many rich people who have made a lot of money, they want to show their social status and value. However, what puzzled him was that he could control a lot of money, but not a single person.
After his defeat at the 1988 Olympics, Mark left the Dupont family estate like a beast. On this side of the camera, a close-up is aimed at DuPont's profile, like an eagle. His high Jewish nose seems to be sniffing something. This family that likes to be called "Golden Eagle" probably has such a hunter for prey. habit. However, this time Dupont watched his former prey helplessly and got rid of himself. Anger and a deep sense of frustration fermented in his heart. Unfortunately, in this family that produces weapons and fuels for their business, machine guns and tanks are their customizable toys, as well as tools to vent their dissatisfaction and create happiness. With his mother despising his wrestling career until his death, love and approval were always lacking, and when he saw how easily David had become the centerpiece of the wrestling team and family, his unsustainable ambitions returned. Goal, so he picks up his toy and ends David because David has more than he has.
