The actor's performance suppressed the tone of the movie from the very beginning. David and the children were waiting for me to play, and it became the only funny part of this movie. It seemed abrupt in the depression.
There may be many similarities between David and Mark, and mother to Dupont, but what Mark gets from his brother David are love and strength.Mark and David won the first Olympic gold medal together, but they were still penniless and no one knew. After giving the speech with only the children below, they returned to the rented room to eat cold noodles. It was the sudden appearance of DuPont that gave him a better life, gave him honor, gave him trust, gave him hope, brought him to experience new things, and became his other friend besides David. And Mark Yu Dupont, perhaps compared to friends and team members, is more like a weapon for him to resist his mother. He hopes to use wrestling to prove that his mother's passion for horse racing is absurd and to prove his ability. In the process, DuPont turned himself into another Mrs. DuPont, hoping to become the other party's life mentor and give the other party everything they wanted, but when the other party disobeyed him, he used the denial of the other party to destroy all this. He turned Mark into another self, eager to gain the recognition and trust of the other party.
In the movie, David is a very good person in every way. As a wrestler, he is more talented than Mark; as an older brother, he brought up his younger brother; and when Mark suffered a defeat in the first round of the '88 Olympics, he was the one who woke Mark up and told Mark that this road would not work. Let him go alone, the angry DuPont said; as a husband and father, he took on the responsibility of the family and loved his wife and children deeply. I don't want them to move around like I did when I was a child, and I don't know the endpoint.
When recording the documentary, the director said that DuPont thought that David was very important to him, so he put it at the end of the film, but later I saw that at the end of the film was Mark, who was in the "honeymoon" period with him. DuPont is keen to be someone else's life mentor, or, in other words, is keen to make others obey him. When the director asked David to say "DuPont is my life mentor", David found it ridiculous and helpless. Think of yourself as a mentor, like that string of "ornithologists, philanthropists, explorers." Maybe this angered DuPont, maybe it was the discovery that Mark's real mentor was David and not himself that angered DuPont, DuPont finally ended David's life with 3 shots.
The last Mark may be back to the starting point, but, without David.View more about Foxcatcher reviews
