Foxcatcher' subject Mark Schultz goes on tirade against director Bennett Miller

Yesterday Mark Schultz, played by Channing Tatum in the film, took to Facebook for a lengthy screed detailing beat for beat what is inaccurate in the film. After running through that laundry list, regarding a film he obviously saw months and months and months ago, he then took umbrage with an undercurrent of homosexuality that some critics have read into the text of the film.
"The personalities and relationships between the characters in the film are primarily fiction and somewhat insulting," Schultz wrote. "Leaving the audience with a feeling that somehow there could have been a sexual relationship between duPont and I [sic] is a sickening and insulting lie. I told Bennett Miller to cut that scene out and he said it was to give the audience the feeling that duPont was encroaching on your privacy and personal space. I wasn't explicit so I didn't have a problem with it. Then after reading 3 or 4 reviews interpreting it sexually, and jeopardizing my legacy, they need to have a press conference to clear the air, or I will."

I thought DuPont was smashing. There's a scene where it looks that way. Movie was fire though.
yeah the movie did imply that....
Is brehs really comparing movie excellence known as There will be Blood with this movie? 
The audacity!!
Stop. that. shyt. right. now.
Is the official movie thread of this movie or nah?
My whole impression of this movie was
., in the sense of I am not sure how to feel.
I was thinking, yeah it was creepy, but if Fincher directed this, the creep factor would be so good.
ETA: Mark Schultz basically says the movie is wrong and hot garbage and I believe him.

I felt the movie was very one note, if someone outside of the circle (the brothers) was like "that du pont guy is kind of weird right" then it would set the tone, but everyone went about their business. I am glad I am not the only one who like this movie is kind of wild mango. Was the Du Pont guy obsessed with ol'boy in a sexual way? Obsessed in general? Wanted to be father/mentor/lover/friend?? to him??
Why were they watching UFC at 8 in the morning? Why did ol'boy color his hair?
The most interesting parts of the movie was the Du Pont family, if they made a movie about that, I would watch it. They are borderline demonic filth, making their money through wars. Being buddy buddy with Delaware state police. How many crimes did they cover up?
I wish there was more character development that is all.
I don't think Carrell is going to win an Oscar for this, and I don't think this movie is oscar worthy.

It's a quiet movie. I think watching American movies makes you used to hamfisted story telling.
Secondly, it wasn't as much a story of decline into madness as it was a story about a bomb waiting to go off. Du Pont was mad from the very beginning of the film. He a broken man and the movie took it's time exploring his various jagged edges. The staged wrestling match. That gay scene with him wrestling tatum in the dark. The horses. The coaching. Etc.
I really wish I didn't google the real story before watching
movie was still okay, I would suggest it
buy don't google the story
Where did you find the real story?
Can you link it, I am interested.

WOAH, HEY GUYS WELCOME TO EB GAMES /COPY THAT/
Where did you find the real story?
dude, just wiki it
The shooting was a departure, but I wouldn't say big departure. Du Pont was more than mildly eccentric before that. A lot of what happened wasn't explicit and was beneath the surface, in looks and the feeling the movie gives off in certain scenes.
I thought it was great. Tatum seemed like a Raging Bull impression at first but eventually I got into his character and thought he was good. Ruffalo and Carrell were great.
I took it as DuPont was making advances and was gay and Schultz didn't like it but didn't know how to say no. That was why he eventually hated Du Pont so much and couldn't look at/talk to him to me.

Eh, Ida and Amour are excellent examples of quiet storytelling (and they're both foreign too). This was just slow and tedious for me.
