How can you not fall in love with baseball?

I have watched a lot of inspirational sports movies, from basketball and football, which I am familiar with, to football, which I know a little about the rules, but baseball, oh, sorry, baseball, I have never seen a real baseball, let alone mention it. The rules are up.
Regarding actors, American male actors are familiar to everyone, and I like them, such as Denzel Washington, Edward Norton, etc. They are all my favorites, but Brad Pitt has never been. I don’t like him. Since I remembered his name, I didn't like him for no other reason, because his smile would make me have some bad memories.
So "Penalty Kick" is such a movie. Its theme is the baseball that I don't know the least about in all ball sports. Its starring role is Pete, who makes me uninterested.
But it moved me so hard, this kind of moving is completely different from the previous sports movies.
A movie based on a true story must have a slightly weaker plot than a wild and crazy desire.
Inspirational, this word is reminiscent, and it is often a story of Loser turning over. But the story of "Penalty Kick" is not like this. The Athletics team was runner-up in the last session, runner-up bastard, can the runner-up be considered a salted fish? Of course not. So this story is different from ordinary inspirational stories from the beginning, so what story does it tell? It said a group of incredible people got together to accomplish an incredible thing in an incredible way.
In this money-oriented society, everything needs money to express, identity needs money to decorate, respect needs to be stacked with money, boys’ love for girls needs to be expressed with money, even baseball, only forty million of you , How do you deal with the billion-dollar New York Rockets?
So the fat guy who graduated in economics from Yale University appeared. He told you in another ideal way that he can also use data, models, and theory to solve all this. All this sounds like nonsense, but it is indisputable that this is true, and it did happen.
Not passionate or sensational, a cold story, Business is business, "Why not let us be honest? My purpose is to squeeze the value of your last bit of baseball, and your purpose is to stay on the court, so why not let us all What do you need?"
Finally, the athletes did not perform miracles. Although they are magical, they still can't stop the rules of reality. The reality is, because you don't have money, how do you beat those rich guys?
I just didn’t expect to use Lenka’s "the show" at the end. The little girl holding the guitar is really healing. She gently sang to Pete: "you're such a loser dad", which is understandable in translation. "You are really weak
, dad ." Yes, daddy, you are really weak. The Boston Red Sox gave you a salary of 12 million U.S. dollars. There are rich and celebrities, and you can fulfill your ideals. , But why did you refuse, why, why did you end up in the old, shabby and impoverished place.
you're such a loser dad, just enjoy the show.

Because people, there is something called faith flowing in the blood, your soul burns for it, your spine stands up for it, and your head is high.
I suddenly fell in love with Pete.

After watching the whole film, tears filled my eyes.

    Using mathematical model analysis, the NBA has already started doing it. Pete's acting skills are the same, and the little fat man is very cute.

    A long shot of entering the room after seven consecutive victories in 1h27min. Very inspirational.

Moneyball quotes

  • Peter Brand: There is an epidemic failure within the game to understand what is really happening. And this leads people who run Major League Baseball teams to misjudge their players and mismanage their teams. I apologize.

    Billy Beane: Go on.

    Peter Brand: Okay. People who run ball clubs, they think in terms of buying players. Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins, you need to buy runs. You're trying to replace Johnny Damon. The Boston Red Sox see Johnny Damon and they see a star who's worth seven and half million dollars a year. When I see Johnny Damon, what I see is... is... an imperfect understanding of where runs come from. The guy's got a great glove. He's a decent leadoff hitter. He can steal bases. But is he worth the seven and half million dollars a year that the Boston Red Sox are paying him? No. No. Baseball thinking is medieval. They are asking all the wrong questions. And if I say it to anybody, I'm-I'm ostracized. I'm-I'm-I'm a leper. So that's why I'm-I'm cagey about this with you. That's why I... I respect you, Mr. Beane, and if you want full disclosure, I think it's a good thing that you got Damon off your payroll. I think it opens up all kinds of interesting possibilities.

  • Peter Brand: It's about getting things down to one number. Using the stats the way we read them, we'll find value in players that no one else can see. People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 notable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty-five people that we can afford, because everyone else in baseball undervalues them.
