Mark and DuPont are like a kind of person, the difference may lie in age and financial resources. Mark is more introverted, and DuPont is more cold. Their goals are both to pursue independence, from guardianship, Mark hopes to win the game, DuPont wants to be a mentor. The two stubbornly pursue such a simple goal like children. From start to finish, Mark grew a little, or was bluntly stripped from his guardian brother, and Dupont didn't, like after watching other kids build a fine castle on the beach and couldn't build it himself Like kicking into sand, he paid a heavier price in the adult world.
Dupont's first obvious emotional expression in the film is when they come back to celebrate after Mark's award, and a drunk Dupont wants to take away all the horses that his mother has placed on the shelf. He is very unhappy with these horse sculptures. , but he did not choose to sweep all these ceramics on the ground, but carefully moved them down one by one. These statues are his mother's treasures. In Dupont's eyes, this is more important than himself in the eyes of his mother, but he is still very afraid. Mother's; Dupont's first emotional outburst was when his mother denied his choice, he worked hard to "win" a gold medal for himself, then showed it to his mother, and was ruthlessly pointed out the value of the medal—— worthless. In contact with the opening scene, DuPont carefully explained to Mark not to disturb his mother. It can be seen that DuPont has complex feelings for his mother, which can not help but remind people of Norman in "Psychopath". He also likes bird specimens, and the same Near-absolute obedience to mother and struggle to escape. The way he proves it is very childish, physical conquest - wrestling and always talking about patriotism. He showed his growth and maturity by becoming a father and mentor to others, but he was still fragile inside, so fragile that his mother's death hit him hard. He was full of jealousy. He was jealous of his mother's horse and jealous. Mark's brother David, because David is the real brother, the real wrestler, the real mentor, so he solved it in the most boyish way possible, killing David, clearing obstacles, and kicking down the sand castle .
Mark doesn't have the money to make a documentary or publish a book for himself, but he has a gold medal and sportswear he wore to participate in the Olympic Games. He is a person who has no sense of existence. He is an introverted person who is not willing to express himself, but he is not willing to be realistic, so he will be happy to wear the gold medal, go to elementary school to give lectures to children, and place the medals and trophies that he has won neatly in the On the other hand, I am willing to accept the olive branch left by DuPont. But he is also a child. The first is his reliance on these medals, the championship and the glory, and the second is his reliance on his brother. He is still a little brother who cannot do without his brother. For example, in competitions, only When the elder brother stood aside as a coach, the younger brother knew what to do and had a chance to win the game. For example, after he accepted Dupont's invitation, he would ask his elder brother to come with him. It is indeed a willful child's behavior to let his brother go with him. But he obviously also realized that he was too dependent and wanted to get rid of this status quo. He didn't dare to look directly at the gap between himself and his brother, so he treated his brother rudely, and even went to be DuPont's son-in-law to suit other people's gestures to express independence.
