That's the problem John du Pont faced in the 1980s. In the movie, he doesn't look down on his mother's horse racing at all, and his mother also looks down on his wrestling and feels very low.
But if you look at the horse racing achievements of his parents on Wikipedia, it can be said that they are all famous in the history of modern horse racing in the United States. Trained a lot of race horses that won great prizes.
The family lives in President Madison's manor. The family was the largest arms dealer and chemical manufacturer in the United States. Even now, there are various DuPont products in the Chinese market, which shows that this family is shining brightly, and this light , just as Dave's light pressed on Mark, pressed on John, and he only had to do something to prove to his mother that he was worthy. In the movie, the portraits of ancestors placed everywhere in the big house are watching the people of today, and this inexplicable pressure oppresses everyone in the house. Just like Gru in Despicable Me, voiced by Karel, John was despised by his mother since he was a child, so he had to do a successful thing to prove himself.
So although he persuaded Mark to come to his team with patriotism, what he always wanted to achieve was personal value. His parents trained excellent racing horses, but he did not have the ability in sports, so he hoped to find some successful athletes to "process" them in a short period of time, which would not only be easy to obtain the results in competition, but also realize the achievements he guided these people. . So he pays great attention to whether people who have achieved grades call him a mentor or coach, and whether he is just as important as his father.
He regards both brothers as his toys, and because his brother's grades are better, he will be treated when he is recruited. The younger brother became cold again. But he found that just because his brother's grades were better and his level was better, the arrival of his brother actually weakened his mentor status and coach status. John tried to regain his old control over his brother, but he couldn't.
So, he killed Dave out of jealousy.
Jealous that he knows wrestling better than me, jealous that he is not tall but his skills are better, jealous that he has a family and life, jealous that he does not rely on himself so much, jealous that he has the respect of his younger brother and his only childhood friend is his mother flower hired for money.
So this movie is a story of two people pursuing success. Or it is a story of two people who pursue success too much and forget why success is. They think that they can prove themselves only by being successful, but in fact, people realize their own value in the process of pursuing success.
