I don't know if you have read a novel called "Sophie's Choice". The male protagonist in the book is very similar to Mr. Dupont, the protagonist in this film. It makes people very annoying. In most cases Under the hood, they all behave like normal people, but at some point, that gloomy, indescribably perverted temperament can drive the people around them crazy.
"Fox Hunter" tells the story of two brothers who encounter perverts. The two of them, one finally got out of the pervert's control, and the other died under the pervert's gun. Because of the influence of Freud, every pervert should have a tragic childhood. Mr. Dupont in this film was under pressure from his mother all the year round, so he hoped to make himself stronger through wrestling, but He never did, even if he controlled Mark for a short period of time and even had some vague homosexuality, but he still did not achieve success, he was still the decadent, dandy boy who accomplished nothing.
Another protagonist of "Foxcatcher" is also Dave, who lives in the shadow of his brother because of childhood trauma. He tried to break away from his brother's influence, but fell into Mr. Dupont's gorgeous prison... In this story, there is no winner, the only happy Dave, but there is no happy ending, when Dave is seen When I said that Mr. Dupont was a life mentor in front of the camera, I really wanted to stand up and scold something, but after all, I still didn't know what to scold, because after all, life is like this, we always have to bow our heads for some things.
Compared with the mockery of the American dream in the big analysis film, I prefer to look at this film from the perspective of human nature. The possibility of encountering Mr. Dupont in our lives is not so great, mainly because there are not many people with such obvious perverted temperament as he spends money like him. There was no talent that appealed to him. But we get to meet half of Mr. Dupont's nasty people who have little talent and are always trying to control the people around them - and it's disgusting to everyone. I think no matter who it is, there will be or have encountered such a person around.
This kind of oppression will become more obvious after entering the workplace. If your first job is in an environment of prevarication, you encounter a boss who is not so discerning and has some paranoid control, then you will not only learn There's nothing to gain except for buck-passing and complacency, and circumstances do affect people after all, especially for most of us who aren't as talented.
After watching the director's "Moneyball" and then watching "Foxcatcher", I really feel that a director who can make a biographical film like this is really great.
