Team Foxcatcher

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.

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.

When they were showing clips of the open field looking towards a tree line and they cast was talking about when John would ask them if they saw anything moving towards the trees, did anyone else notice the transparent person walking through the field? walking left to right about a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen it starts at around 37:10 you will hear a light bell ring and right after that it will start. Keep your eyes in the middle towards the bottom of the screen and you will see it. its right after the guy in the red sweater says that John would fast forward it and say are you sure you don't see something. Let me know what you think, I just showed it to my brother and he was able to catch it.

Schulz became the scapegoat? All got his share and poor d paid the bill eh?

Shame on all of them.

I have watched this documentary twice now, it is such a fascinating and thought provoking film. There is a great sense of sadness associated with this story and I still think about it now and keep recommending it to everyone that I can! This was a topic that I would not normally watch and this broke that barrier down, a totally unexpected and wonderful discovery.
