For the film title "Penalty Kick" you can most imagine the sports, team strength, and passionate and moving scenes, but these hardly appeared; even the warmth of the father-daughter love is hidden by the looming snow, even if It's the last song to play and sing, but it's not only family affection, but perhaps more extra-strings, to let a person of faith release himself.
The details and metaphors in the film are fascinating. The phrase "How could you not fall in love with baseball" has been repeated many times, but it has never been interpreted. When young Billy faced an important decision in life, the scout told him-"Each of us will be told at a certain point in time that we can no longer play children's games, but the time we are told varies from person to person. Some people are 18 years old, and some people are 40 years old, but sooner or later they will be told." For everyone, such being told is full of luck and misfortune. Maybe the scout of your life won the prize and happened to see it right, but in many cases he is not sure of his vision. And you are just a test product used to verify their experience.
It is this misfortune that bothers Billy like a nightmare. He has done a lot of things right and even made great changes to the sport, but he still dare not admit himself.
We cannot use simple right and wrong to measure Billy Bean's final choice, just like our own hesitation when making a choice, sometimes the choice is negative, not unreasonable, but loyal to ourselves. Ideas and persistence to beliefs make it difficult for us to weigh and choose. In the end, Billy made a decision that was loyal to his heart but was "sorrowful". Only he knew what he was going to do: Statistics can change baseball, and I want to win in Oakland.
The last metaphor-the fat player was embarrassed when he tried to go to second base. He thought he had failed, but in fact, he had hit a home run and he was successful. Seeing this scene, Billy was also relieved, he finally saw the light and value he radiated. He thought he was a total loser, a failed father, and a failed manager, but in fact he has succeeded-he created a new era of baseball. The final subtitle of the film about the Red Sox using Billy's theory to win the world championship is a footnote to this theme.
The difference between success and failure defined in everyone's mind makes life more possible. Maybe most of the time we are just marionettes in the hands of life. The important thing is not only whether we can change the rules of the game, or break free from the shackles and shackles of fate, but also remind ourselves to enjoy the show, insist on being yourself, and maybe someday you Will also hit a home run.
