You are such a loser, Dad.

Perhaps an expression of the director's restraint, this one doesn't look like an overt inspirational film to me. That is, a person does what he should do at the right time, and the result is successful, and then he makes a choice, sublimates, does not evaluate, does not provocative, and ends. There is no inspirational three waters, sweat, tears or blood that are common in inspirational films. This story is already on the level.
Pete is no longer the handsome guy who caused countless girls to compete and scream. Some people say that he is disabled. I think he has returned to his basics. He has become a real man, a father. In the film, Billy didn't even say that he gave up the high salary of the Red Sox for his daughter. Everything in it is what a father should do, even if it is a divorce, buy gifts with his daughter, and have a meal. After doing so many things, in the end, my daughter sang like that, "you are such a loser, dad." I was in tears. It's a little pity that this song passed through.
The other supporting role is a fat, rambunctious Yale economics graduate. What I remember is a large portrait of Plato on the head of the bed in his room, and I laughed silently. The movie is called, The ancestor of Bai who sacrificed, I don't know how he would feel if he had knowledge under the spring. But Comrade Xiaoping said, no matter if the cat is black or white, the cat that catches the mouse is a good cat. At least in the movie, their theory wins.
Ordinary inspirational films may expand the good and bad of the team members, all kinds of unsupported colleagues, the influence of divorce, etc. The director did not exaggerate these things, and the things that should be mentioned will be mentioned, just make it clear, and the focus is always the protagonist , his past and present.
The director maintains the emotional balance very well. This reminds me of Anda Chong's manga. existHere, Kazuya's death is intertwined with the fierce competition, and when you get into the mood, the author properly pulls the reader out. Billy never played with the team. First, he explained that this was his job needs, which was convenient for firing people. Second, he didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew it. He didn't come out of his past failures. In the important game in the movie, Billy rarely watched a game in person, but it turned out that it was likely that the game lost and ended the winning streak, and there were ominous black clouds floating in the sky. After Billy couldn't watch it any longer, he hid in the gym. The fierce competition, Billy's lonely figure and cross-talk about Billy's failed past made him emotional. In the end, Heidelberg, who Billy insisted on but failed to play, played and hit an unexpected home run, which solved the team's predicament and gave Billy an outlet for his past. The protagonist has completed his growth here, and the rest is the ending.
In the face of high-paying excavation, Billy is not calm and regards money as dung. In the words of Douyouyi, the fat man told Billy with the story of another fat man, you are already very good, so don't pretend any more. . My daughter sang 'you are such a loser, dad', stay for her daughter, stay for the philosophy she believes in, no matter how high the salary is, it's just like that.
For a movie, the characters are in place, the story is clearly explained, the narrative method is appropriate, the shooting is not lost, long shots and various close-ups, plus the restrained feelings that are rare in sports films, at least worthy of it. Oscar nomination.

  • Peter Brand: It's about getting things down to one number. Using stats to reread them, we'll find the value of players that nobody else can see. People are over looked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cuts straight through that. Billy, of the twenty thousand knowable 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 under values them. Like an island of misfit toys.
