Moneyball

Since ancient times, the winners and losers are talking about the cruelty of reality. If you win, you have the right to speak and change the rules. If you lose, you will be nothing, and you will be forgotten or even erased by history. The difference between success and failure are two different worlds.
"Penalty Kick" tells the story of how Billy Bean, a baseball player-born team manager, reorganized the team to achieve 20-game winning streak in major league games and march towards the championship under the conditions of lack of funds. For this kind of sports-themed character biographical film, it is not difficult to make enough entertainment and depth. However, this movie is very special. It greatly weakens the presentation of the exciting game scene that the audience originally expected. Libby's main line, taking into account the narratives of several core players, he has a unique style and tension in the struggle under the pressure of reality and their respective situations, which is really rare. The viewing experience of the whole movie is like the soundtrack of the movie, calm and tense. Experience the wisdom of life in a place of loss and excitement.

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.
