9 out of 10

 

I have seen and enjoyed Foxcatcher https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/05/note-on-foxcatcher.html at least a couple of times, I have already posted a video note, where you get to see my macaws, if you are curious – they are present in more than ninety percent of the YouTube material, they must be in this one as well…or at least I think they are

 

This is relevant story of power, wealth and madness – which is what we see on display in the news in this age, I will come back to that, therefore this must serve as a spoiler alert – Steve Carell is ‘medicine’ as John du Pont (of the famous multinational) a wealthy man, with serious mother issues, the mother is Vanessa Redgrave

Channing Tatum plays Mark Schultz, Olympic and World champion, while Mark Ruffalo is ‘adjectival’ as David Schultz – this is taken out of the spectacular The Booker Prize Winner The True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/10/true-history-of-kelly-gang-by-peter.html where adjectival is used for astounding

 

Mark Schultz is called to meet with heir to a Sardanapalus fortune, John du Pont, he is taken with a helicopter and offered great training conditions, twenty thousand dollars per year I think it was, but back when this was maybe as valuable as 100k of today’s money, and he is convinced to stay and be part of Foxcatcher

The tycoon wants to play the ‘inspiring coach, mentor’ and offers the assistant’s job to the brother, David, who refuses to move to the du Pont hacienda – I am just playing with this now, it was not really a ranch – and he will recall how they kept moving as children, when their father was gone, and he had to take care of Mark

 

As usual with the under signed, when I write about evil, I mention the fella who is the paradigm for monstrosity, Orange Woland, and let me put in https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/02/vernon-god-little-by-dbc-pierre.html Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre, Booker Prize Winner, a hilarious novel with a creative definition of

Paradigm shift…John Du Pont gives cocaine to his ‘protégé’, and nearly destroys his life – let me shut up about other things – instead of supporting him to get better, he nearly kills his dreams, the man is crazy – again, look at the pompous ass in the White House – although he convinces David Schultz to move with his family at Foxcatcher

 

There are signs of decline: the boasting, pretentiousness, claims for medals he did not win – maybe it sounds familiar – and then he takes this revolver in the training hall and shoots with it: he shows off in front of his mother and in general, until the final breakdown  https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/confidence-man-making-of-donald-trump.html

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
