In my impression, Steve Carell has always maintained his status by being funny. He is the host of many ceremonies. He is similar to Zeng Zhiwei in the Hong Kong film industry, and even the same short stature. But I really didn't expect that he would be such an excellent actor like Zeng Zhiwei. And Stephen Chow, comedians are never characters that can be ignored. In their funny faces, there are more tears and depths. Steve Carell plays the legendary John du Pont, who wears a very touching fake nose, keeps his head slightly raised, and never expresses any expression. I admired him so much for the goofy clumsiness when he played Du Pont wrestling, I don't know if it was intentional or just athletic. In the situation where the majesty of his mother is everywhere, he is bound by the company and the family everywhere. He can only satisfy himself by forming a wrestling team and serving as a coach. All kinds of feelings in his heart , When the entanglement bursts, it goes to the brink of collapse and vents in the strangest way, which seems really sad.
