This was a movie that I've only seen once because it hit so hard. That was six years ago and I don't know if I can ever revisit it. Tragic but masterful film.
It’s always interesting and astonishing to me that his friends wanted to be there because Mark Ruffalo is the closest thing they will get to having the real Dave back…I love when Actors/Actresses bring people back to life. The beauty of movies.
Steve’s performance deserves far more recognition that it received. Sure, there’s a huge, day and night, difference between the real-life John Du Pont and Steve Carrell’s take. Du Pont in real life seemed a little happier and energetic, superficially. The brilliant twist of Carrell’s interpretation on Du Pont was portraying the internal aspects of Du Pont.
Mark and Channing absolutely nailed the mannerisms that wrestlers have. It's amazing. Some of the actual wrestling sequences are a bit silly considering how elite the level was when the film takes place, but it has to be that way for the film, so I don't blame them. Boxing and MMA movies are WAY more exaggerative and cheesy during competition scenes, so I'm just nitpicking. This is an underrated film that almost anyone can enjoy.

The thing is it’s not a documentary and it wasn’t portrayed as one. To fit all of this into one movie and capture the essence of what happened the timelines had to be altered and certain situations had to be changed and exaggerated to fit the narrative that things things weren’t actually over a course of a decade+. I think for what it is, the movie did a good job in trying to connect Mark and Dave’s time at foxcatcher farms. It’s also a great way to introduce the sport to people who have never had any interest. It’s important to be happy that the sport got to the big box office and told this story, as altered as it may be.
I am 7 years too late for this party... However, I just finished watching this wonderful movie and watching this documentary about the movie. There are other quality movies and documentaries out there, but his one struck me with the sincerity of the actor, displayed in both, movie and documentary. Superb insight in two worlds, tragic ending, but oriented towards redemption. Just pure magic.
Fascinating story, beautifully told and acted. Capell’s performance is under-rated imo. Capote, Moneyball & this film are all masterful. Bennett Miller is an amazing filmmaker.
One of thing about this whole movie it's a good one Channing Tatum is such a great actor when I looked up real life wrestler name Mark Scultz we have the same birthday October 26 I found that out when it was our birthday last year.
8:19 As of 2020, the case on the death of Scott Ruffalo is still unsolved even after being eventually ruled homicide by execution to the back of the head.
Being from Philadelphia I certainly remember this whole story when it occured. Ill have to watch this movie. I remember reports that Dupont used to ride a WW2 tank around the grounds. That he had secret rooms, a cocaine addiction, and homosexual leanings toward wrestlers. With that said, Incredible actors here,amazing job with the makeup(i had no idea that was Steve Carell or Mark Ruffalo) and a movie that I cant wait to watch in its entirety!!
This shows you how powerful the du Pont name was as John became mOre dangerous in his troubled mental state. Nothing was medically or lawfully done before he killed David Schulz. After his protection of his Mother was gone by her death he needed to have solid care around him and he began to decline.
Nicely directed, and the acting was excellent as far as it went, which was not far. However apart from gaining some insight into the dysfunctional insanity inherent in these kinds of families, and the tragic death of a loving husband and father, this story lacked sufficient content, and characters, of interest to sustain the entire movie. Loonies are always interesting, therefore perhaps it should have concentrated more on Dupont's family life starting from his childhood. Also contrasting this with Davids simple but far happier family life and real love for his brother. A sort of money can buy you a lot of things, including the attention of a lot of wrestlers, but it can't buy you love, happiness, or sanity theme. Of course this was there, but could have been more emphasised.
You can see it in some scenes mainly with Carrell. The first time where mark took John to meet Dave in his hotel room you can just tell from that scene the different worlds/personalities collide.
Saw the movie a few weeks ago. Yes, it was great but left me pondering. Perhaps I am struggling to figure out what, exactly. impacted me so. Is there a little bit of John DuPont in all of us????
they keep saying that the sport of wrestling is shunned in america compared to other sports, but they literally have wrestling in high school over there. im in canada they don't have kids wrestle in high school over here (i would've loved it, maybe getting all that aggression out of my system would've steered me away from being a juvenile delinquent..).. we got hockey programs! swimming, baseball, basketball, even gaming..
Tbf it’s basically in every high school but it’s a highly regional sport where it’s huge in the Midwest and Northeast but not popular much elsewhere. Biggest reason it’s in every HS in America is because it costs almost nothing to provide and gives the school district an excuse to fulfill their title 9 requirements.
the guy talking about lulling the audience into a meditative state, that's a bunch of nonsense. Also why does no one talk about the fact that Bennett Miller recycles some of the same music in this film as he used in Capote?
Steve Carrell is such a fascinating actor
Great actors, Mark Schultz gave me my medal at California state championships 1986💙

Ruffalo did such a beautiful job in portraying Dave.
Wrestling as a sport is not nearly appreciated as any other sport. Truth and most people do not realize the training and sacrifice involved either.
After all that the Olympics dropped wrestling from its roster.

I legit screamed when Carell shot Dave. I never thought that was going to happen
ok
I always thought it was going to be the other brother.
Well, Michael Scott did always have that gun in improv class
@@andrewfield5656 only if the dementors took card of prison Mike, he would have been reformed

What a masterpiece, so refreshing and rare to see a real genuine movie nowadays, the actors did a fenomenol job, a true gem.
He found the right story and still changed everything that happened.
All American Man hm?
@@TheClubOrtiz The director altered parts of this story in this film - the "Team Foxcatcher" documentary on Netflix tells the real story.
@@shua-park yes I’ve seen the documentary, I just didn’t get what the person said the first time.

Like all movies that are “based on a true story” are. Difference being that this one wasn’t a stale cheap cliche film and was actually entertaining.

This was the doorway between Steve Carrell as Michael Scott to him having more serious roles. Great film
Steve’s a great actor.

I haven't seen this movie. Found out about it 20 minutes ago. I need to see it.
8:19 As of 2020, the case on the death of Scott Ruffalo is still unsolved even after being eventually ruled homicide by execution to the back of the head.
Oh wow....that's sad and unfortunate smh
Ruffalo seems super likeable
Am I Bear? That’s why he got the role of Dave.
He’s not
If only he wasn't a completely deluded, typical Hollywood, liberal beta male. I genuinely wish these performers would leave politics alone.
@@thegent8916 Their handlers make them support Liberal politics, career over if they don't.

Mark Ruffalo isn't even in makeup? How could you not tell it was him.

My favorite film 🙌
2:58 not surprised
Muy buena pelicula, representa muy bien la locura y la intoxicacion de esta locura a terceras personas
the buttons at the top of ruffalos shirt ..lol
Love that movie!💕
_Channing Tatum is playing me. Who's playing you ?_ 🤣
His parents built the house

Is Paddy Pimblett at 1:29? I was trying to look but I can't find anything on the matter.
Shane from TWD looks exactly like Dave Schultz

stewart quark indeed.
Longing for approval and insecurity is definitely an aspect we all hold. Du Pont wasn't able to control those parts of himself.
mark ruffalo is so beautiful , inside and out.
Nope
Yep
Yes

Crazy
Wisconsin finest
Wait so a total stranger basically showed miller the story wow
Employers of any field love wresters.
If you are Vince Mcmahon sure
@Misteriosi81 you a 🤡
i know what steve was saying i try not to overthink the subject i want to write a song about he found a flow naturally by not over thinking
Nice thanks!
It should have been Danny Devito
Alf P originally it was supposed to be Gary Oldman
This isn't a story of Foxcatcher, this is a story about making a movie.
Isn't the movie Foxcatcher though?
Did i see justin gaethje in that pic?
the story about telling a story that is a real thing. Is the story important or is the story about telling the story telling important.
the guy talking about lulling the audience into a meditative state, that's a bunch of nonsense. Also why does no one talk about the fact that Bennett Miller recycles some of the same music in this film as he used in Capote?
gandalf0987 it’s true and it works brilliantly in this film. Who cares, the music is beautiful
Excellent points, both of them.
Moneball as well
Nonsense? It was the most accurate thing said in that entire interview what are you talking about.
Sjjdhd
I hear the Trump movie is gonna be called "Fartcatcher"
@Charles Charlemagne LMAO
Trump is helping them that cant see past there egos
😂😂
Wish they picked anybody but Rafalo to play that role. They would’ve done better
Why and who else would’ve been better in your opinion
WTF? A Ruffalo hater? Well some people hated Jesus too... Love Mark Ruffalo, an incredible human being and incredible actor!
The whole movie is pretty much B.S.. They never lived on the farm together.
Channing Tatum is a horrible actor.
FOXCATCHER IS THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN !! WE COULDNT FINISH WATCHING !!
Wrestling sucks haha
Shut up
Who hurt you?
