It has been 11 years since Bennett Miller (the long -awaited) Prize winner is no longer filmed for the best performance at the Cannes Film Festival. And when we know that for Foxcatcher (2014) it was exactly the same, it is not difficult to see tragic irony.
The film may praise the criticism, the public has not found its account there. 4.4 5 to 3.5, two separations have no doubt. And the results of the cash register cannot be lying.
But if the public has forgotten this film, but one of the greatest in the US has offered us in recent years, this is not our job. And we will not hesitate to protect it to the end.
A tragic true story
Foxcatcher is an adaptation of novelties that hit titles in the United States in the 90s. The story of eccentric billionaire John Dupont, who portrayed Steve Karel, in a passionate battle that intends to turn his huge property into a training camp for the American Olympic team.
In his project, he meets Mark Schultz, a wrestler only in the 1984 Olympics. The billionaire’s passion sees to finance his career, Mark agrees to be his “coach” and settle in his property.
But this strange relationship is not the taste of David Schultz (Mark Rufalo), the brother of Mark, who will do everything he can to get rid of John Dupont in the drama.
Unfortunate failure
Despite three great names in casting, despite the Chenning Tatum, Mark Rufalo and Steve Karel, Foxkater was a failure. And it is not so difficult to understand why. Bennett Miller’s approach, very sober and atmospheric, undoubtedly frustrates more than one viewer to exceed the trailer stadium.
But there is another cause of this failure and it is less suitable.
Why is it a wonderful movie
Foxcatcher is not just a movie about sports, it is primarily a movie about virginity. And he will not delay studying this topic with some violence, in particular, by approaching the problematic feeling that men have towards those who consider more men.
Is this a viral person for me a model? Coach? Father? Or is something less sensitive? This disorder, Foxcatcher, never declared it to leave the audience and was lost without frustration.

But that’s where it is, in this choice, not to say that the audience is playing against the actors as they have never played, the film will become excellent. Because it leaves a banal explanatory biography, make the film firm. On the vulnerable drama of an adult that is left by a little boy, terrorized by men who are asked to look. In fact, you can’t look …
If you also want a big movie, you stay 5 little days to see a foxcatcher video bonus.
