Mark and Dave Shultz's gripping wrestling story So i just finished watching Foxcatcher and i was blown away. This movie is based on a true story of two successful brother wrestlers Mark and Dave Schultz.
So basically Mark is Olympic gold medalist and John E. Dupont, the heir of the Dupont family, is interested in wrestling and offers Mark a contract to enter his team - Foxcatcher and win Worlds for his team. Mark gets on well with Dupont, he feels like John is his ''father'' and they just have a good relationship overall. Two thirds into the movie this relationship starts to fall upon itself and things start to get really messy. Dave disagrees on some things with Dupont, Mark's not training properly, plus Dave kind of steals Mark away from Dupont and ... yeah.
If you are fan of dark Nightcrawler-like movies with heavy atmosphere, I think this is a movie for you. At the end I just want to point out that I loved Steve Carrel's portrayal of John E. Dupont, and the soundtrack.
