A film related to baseball games and data analysis was presented neither too passionate nor dull. "Money ball" did have Human place. And this film, which has been repeatedly difficult to give birth, has ill-fated, and has gone through a long road of screen adaptation, conveys an important message to the audience from the very first few minutes-this is a sports inspirational film in a non-traditional sense. It’s also not a typical biopic. Everything is just like the "Chicago Sun" commented-"This is a smart, tense and touching movie... Although I already knew the story of the movie before entering, the wisdom of the movie And depth is something I didn’t expect.”
The story of the film is like a modern fable. A person who does not play cards according to the card is challenging the entire deep-rooted professional league. In terms of the rules of the game, such a move may be just a man’s arm as a car, but the process is worthy of recollection and praise, just like the song of the 12-year-old daughter of the protagonist Billy Bean (played by Brad Pitt). , "Just enjoy the show". If you consider Billy's choices and actions in the film as an individual looking for a breakthrough in life and the value of life, it might be different.
Today’s professional leagues are more like showing off their wealth and burning money, like an unfair game. How can small teams with no money and big names in this sports environment find a chance to breathe and take a place? It's a headache for every small team manager. Billy Bean, who was frustrated in life in his middle age, is exactly this. When he tried to change the game pattern, he had a good eye to know people, and adopted the analysis model of Peter Brand (played by Jonah Hill), a master of economics, based on computer data analysis, trying to spend the least money. Do the biggest thing. Billy and Xiaopang, one with experience and courage, the other with brains and knowledge, this best management combination has integrated a competitive team with a higher price, and the operation mode is far beyond what the die-hards can accept. Scope.
What kind of person you encounter and what kind of judgment you make at a specific time in your life are the keys to deciding the path a person takes. Before meeting Xiao Pang, Billy had almost no chance of winning in his life under the advice and guidance of old elders. He was reduced to a person who missed the Stanford scholarship, an unsuccessful professional baseball player, and an Influential scout and manager of a third-rate club (in life, he is still a divorced dad). This time, he resisted all opinions and joined forces with Xiaopang, leading to the peak of his career with the club. It can be seen that breaking through conformity is one of the best ways to survive adversity.
The overall temperament of the film is calm and restrained, the narrative is unconventional, the editing is clever and literary, the scenes are full of restraint and calmness, and the white space in many paragraphs is quite meaningful. After several changes of ownership, Bennett Miller, who has mastered the film guide, seems to be more able to withstand loneliness and waiting, and he also understands the principle of slow work and careful work. In the post-editing alone, he took 9 tasks. moon.
After years of baptism and acting experience, Rad Pitt seems to be more able to withstand the test of the camera, and the director is not hesitant to give him the opportunity to show the inner world of the character, the scenes where Billy appears alone, no matter in the empty scenes. The seats, or in the empty and lonely stadium, are very touching, like the silence and introspection, unwillingness and contemplation of a lonely and persistent middle-aged man.
When Billy was faced with a job-hopping option, he rejected the high-tech Red Sox team. This may be a mistake in his judgment. After all, the Red Sox won the league championship with his business philosophy two years after he refused to join. He is still leading the Oakland Athletics team stretched to continue the dream of a championship. When Billy rejected the Red Sox, he said that he didn't want to give money a second chance to make decisions for himself. This is indeed something that many people can't do.
In the film, when Billy's team failed the first round of the playoffs, the commentator's voice-over was "No one can completely change the sport", which seemed to highlight the cruelty of the actual rules. However, despite this, there are still people trying to change, which shows a lonely and tragic power. What's more, no matter how others commented and the result, Billy had already experienced "Just enjoy the show", so when he heard his daughter's singing again, he wept.
