Team Foxcatcher

Seeing the film play out brought back memories of Bennet Miller's fantastic Foxcatcher. Although both have different leads, I think both also work to highlight many of the same recurring themes and plot points. This film only adds to the mystery and intrigue of the entire case and of Du Pont. It works to highlight certain scenarios and it also emphasizes the tragedy as something that was just inevitable, which is different to the more spontaneous character developments of Miller's film. The relationship between Du Pont and Schultz also seemed to be friendlier and at least more like one that had arisen due to friendship, as opposed to the one highlighted by Miller's film. This works as a great companion piece to that one, but it also stands on its own, it tells its own contained story.

Excellent piece from those who were actually there. No punches pulled, straight forward and truthful. I will never forget where I was when I heard Dave was murdered.

It was very difficult seeing this replayed but I feel it was the best of the three films on the subject. The movie Foxcatcher was well acted and the 30 for 30 Documentary was also well done, however I feel this was the better of the three.

Whenever I am at a wrestling event and I hear our national anthem, I always think of Dave on the podium in LA with the gold medal and his smile.

This is an incredible documentary!

It contains actual footage and home videos from Dave Schultz's life.

The film serves as a great tribute to Dave, his family, friends and wrestlers.

I had the privilege of viewing it at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. When I got home, I watched it again. It is THAT good!

The documentary, Team Foxcatcher, did a wonderful job of portraying the life and effect of John Du Pont. It then went on to show how the Foxcatcher Farm was grown by John du Pont. The film initially portrays du Pont as a philanthropist and an overall good person through the use of uplifting and energetic background music. Further, into the film, you can see how the overall viewpoint of du Pont began to change. The wrestlers seemed to get a more intense sense of weirdness and creepiness as they got to know du Pont more. They almost felt on edge every time they interacted with du Pont and they sensed a feeling of darkness and abnormal behavior that had come over him. One thing that I wish that the documentary discussed more was the other sports that du Pont sponsored on the Foxcatcher Farm. Overall, I enjoyed this film a lot. The downfall of the life of du Pont was beautifully depicted.

This film did a good job at portraying what went on in this situation. I found it very disturbing how they portrayed his mental state. I recommend while you watch this film you take into account the background music. As I watched it the background sounds helped the point of the scene come across very clearly.
