Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Foxcatcher is a 2014 drama film directed by Bennett Miller and starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo. It tells the true story of the twisted relationship between up-and-coming Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum) and reclusive billionaire John Du Pont (Carell), and how the latter's training and sponsorship helped give Shultz a shot at the gold. Not all is well, however, thanks to the shadow of Mark's older brother Dave (Ruffalo), an Olympic champion in his own right, who eventually joins Du Pont's coaching staff. The tension that results eventually leads the schizophrenic Du Pont to murder.It played on the North American festival circuit before opening in the U.S. on November 14. The trailer can be seen here. | |

Foxcatcher / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: A bonding theme of Mark and John, both of whom are constantly overshadowed by their brother and mother, respectively. Early in the film Mark has a budget motivational speaker gig that he only got because Dave turned it down. The school secretary takes a humiliating amount of time before she'll make the check out to Mark. | |

Foxcatcher / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: There's a scene where Mark gets annoyed at Nancy, which is not the first film where Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller have been at odds. Sienna Miller has also played the wife of a man who got shot in real life in American Sniper. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
Foxcatcher / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: If John du Pont wanted both brothers all along, why didn't he just call Dave and make him an offer at the outset? In Real Life, du Pont called Dave first, but the film version heightens Mark's disillusionment. | |
