Very late review I know

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2020)

I'm making this review 6 years after the release of the film because, I have seen it 2 times in the past but don't think I firmly grasp the meaning of the movie. Now I'm 18 and know that the film is about arrogance, selfishness, and mostly conceited ness. This whole film is about family and who do you trust, your angels or your demons. Each character has there own important story. Mark is a Olympic gold medalist and wants to become that worlds greatest wrestler, Dave is also a Olympic gold medalist and has a wife and children and isn't focused just in wrestling, and John du Pont is a selfish greedy man who grew up living with a weight on his back and the weight on his back are "the horses." His mom loved horses and hated the idea of wrestling. It's a very slow burning movie, definitely on the back burner, but it gives a message to the audience that "you never really know people" and also "money doesn't solve things" it's not the money, it's the people. Brilliantly acted by Steve Carrell and Mark Ruffalo. The story was really awesome and I'm glad I got to review it.
