It's not a movie just about baseball

Because I am not a baseball fan, I just watched such a movie with my vision of Brad Pitt. This movie undoubtedly describes the art of making big shots in a baseball league,
but apart from baseball? What else?

When Billy decided to use scientific statistics with Xiaopang to manage the team, he told Xiaopang that he didn't like contact with players so as not to have unnecessary feelings, but then he got together with the players.
When Billy decided to use Xiaopang's scientific management method cruelly, everyone thought that he would definitely fail. As a result, he won a 20-game winning streak.
When Billy returned to the league with a new management team against Yankee, they still did not win.
When the owner of red sox gave Billy a check for $12.5 million, Xiaopang said that it was the highest salary of GM in the league, but Billy didn't accept it and stayed at A's.
When Billy said that his goal was not for money and fame, but to challenge the system and to prove it to others, he finally failed, and red sox defeated A's with his management method two years later.
When Billy finally drove away, he listened to the CD sung to him by his daughter, but the last few sentences were "you are a loser dad..."

Life is always raping most people every day, and those People who try to break the rules and want to live their lives are ultimately buried in the wrong path they once chose, just like Billy chose to be a baseball player back then, just like he didn't accept the offer of red sox later, just like the song that BIlly's daughter sang. , And all this is like a piece of black humor repeatedly reminding us that
you are just a loser, just a loser...

Moneyball quotes

  • Peter Brand: The Visalia Oaks and our 240 lb catcher Jeremy Brown, who as you know, scared to run to second base. This was in a game six weeks ago. This guy is going to start him off with a fastball. Jeremy's going to take him to deep center. Here's what's really interesting, because Jeremy's gonna do what he never does. He's gonna go for it. He's gonna around first and he's gonna go for it. Okay?

    [On the video, Jeremy trips and falls over first base]

    Peter Brand: This is all Jeremy's nightmares coming to life.

    Billy Beane: Awwww, they're laughing at him.

    Peter Brand: And Jeremy's about to find out why. Jeremy's about to realize that the ball went 60 feet over the fence. He hit a home run and didn't even realize it.

  • Peter Brand: [sportscasters are crediting Art Howe for the A's dramatic turnaround] Did you hear that?

    Billy Beane: All I heard was "seven in a row".
