Cinephile No. 484 "Foxcatcher"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

Steve Carell in "Foxcatcher" plays one of the creepiest, most desperate characters I've ever seen in a movie. His character wants so badly to be accepted, admired and feared. To achieve this aim, he sets out on a mission to prove his patriotism and love of country. This boils over into an effort to revive American wrestling. Using his immense wealth, he recruits top talent. Channing Tatum plays a naive athlete who is blinded by the opportunity. Carell, acting like a father figure, takes advantage of the situation. Here is where the push and pull lies. Most won't find this movie satisfying. There are no heroes here. All are guilty of something, you know, kind of like real life. 

 

Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
