The film Team Foxcatcher by director Jon Greenhalgh tells a chilling recap of events taken place on a multimillion dollar athletic facility owned by the lonely prince himself, John du Pont. From the beginning, you already can tell something good will end up bad as the many homemade videos of the du Pont are just rather odd. With him staring off into nothing, or pausing in his speech at random times, du Pont was creepy from the moment we met him. John's social skills were very poor so he really had nothing to offer in terms of personality, such as Dave's. And as the movie pointed out John was embraced by his "children" and felt protected. But as most characters pointed out, they all knew John was crazy, yet the only reason they stayed was the hope of success and opportunity that Foxcatcher and John offered. Dave was the only one who saw the good in John yet it was his life taken away at the end for no reason except the unpredictability of mental illness.
