Review of Team Foxcatcher

This is an absorbing documentary about the facts surrounding the murder of wrestler Dave Schultz by heir to the Du Pont fortune, John Du Pont. To my mind it was obvious very early that John Du Pont had some very serious mental problems. It seems that because of his families' vast wealth he was indulged by most people when an ordinary citizen would have had contact with psychiatric help much sooner. If anything, the documentary highlights some of the problems inherent in private sponsorship of what should be state or federal governed organizations such as law enforcement. A cautionary tale if ever there was one. One thing I cannot get out of my mind after watching this documentary is the compassion of Dave Schultz's daughter for John Du Pont. She laments the fact that her father was mourned by everybody, but when John Du Pont died in prison nobody was sad for him. Kudos to her. Would the world not be a better place if more people thought like her?
