I always feel that the Chinese translation of this name is wrong

English called rookie, the meaning of rookie! American movie titles are not as esoteric as Chinese old ones. It may be better to call the oldest rookie in the clouds!
The movie is based on real events. The 35-year-old rescue pitcher doesn't know anything about baseball, but he played baseball on an 8-bit machine when he was a child. The operating mechanism, the minor league is divided into three levels, the income is very low, but all the people are constantly working hard for a dream.
The film itself is very bland, and the shooting is also very bland, little by little, there are not as many ups and downs as the blockbuster, but it still attracted me to watch it slowly for two hours.
Parents, couples, children, friends, students, and residents of the town finally share it with everyone. This may be a real american dream!

The Rookie quotes

  • Jimmy: Anybody wanna tell me how we lost that game? Hmmm? No? How about taking a look at the numbers on that scoreboard out there? What do those numbers tell you?

    Joe David West: How to get ahold of Bo's Tire Barn?

    [team laughs, Jimmy pauses, obviously not amused]

    Jimmy: You quit. You quit out there. You quit on me and, worse, you quit on yourselves. Now, what is it? You think we don't care about baseball around here? Think the school's gonna drop the program? You're just making it easy for 'em. Sad part is, I see it and you don't.

  • Joel De La Garza: [while him and Jimmy play catch] Hey coach, back when you were really pitching, how fast were you throwing it?

    Jimmy: I don't know. 85, 86?

    Joel De La Garza: That's not too bad.

    Jimmy: It is when the other guy's throwing 90.

    Joel De La Garza: Coach, let's see you bring one.

    Jimmy: Can't. Promised too many doctors.

    Joel De La Garza: Come on, coach, one isn't going to kill you. Come on, feed me!

    Hunter: Yeah, dad, bring the heat!

    Joel De La Garza: [Jim gets himself ready while Joel waits in the catcher's position] Feed me, coach.

    [Jim pauses, then winds up and throws his fastball, which audibly whisses by and hits hard into Joel's glove, much to the shock of him and Hunter]

    Hunter: Woah!

    Joel De La Garza: Coach, where did that come from?

    Jimmy: [Smiles] Forgot how good that sounded.
