Apparently the real du Pont was even crazier in real life, and they had to tone it down a bit for the film. Imagine that!
I loved this film. I feel bad because I read a spoiler midway through the film, because I mistakenly took my phone out to try to figure out what the hell this film was about – I regret doing so. Still, it didn't ruin the film completely.
I thought Steve Carrell was amazing in this. I'd never seen him do something so serious and creepy, and now I have a massive amount of respect for him for being able to portray such an intriguingly creepy character. The true story of events is disturbing, and I can't believe how many of these rich kids end up doing horrible things like this. I just don't understand it.
Great film though. 8/10
