The plot is so unreasonable, it just insults the intelligence

In addition to insulting the audience's IQ, the film also insulted the Yankees management team, the Athletes coaching staff and scouts (although they were originally villains), Major League Baseball, and the protagonist has always been in a state of incompetence. 1. Pete, this baby, is also very important in the Yankees, why is it so easy to be dug over? And answering the team's questions in the office, and then walking away, isn't this a very low-level violation of professional ethics? At least you have to set Pete to look frustrated, but you can be accidentally discovered that kind of plot! 2. As the general manager, I don't know how to do business, and I don't know how to major, so I pretend that he didn't go to college and played well in high school, and then he will have a bad face and ask for coffee? Choosing Pete and data analysis is like gambling, and you have no idea in your heart? The real skills of running the team and mastering the mentality of the players have to be the same, right? 3. A group of gray-haired scouts and coaches will be too mentally retarded compared to their stature and appearance. They don't talk about skills at all. Middle school PE teachers are better than them! Although the film was originally intended to use them to set off the protagonist, but this is too outrageous! 4. A phone call in the morning, players will report with their bags in the afternoon, and they will be able to participate in the game in the evening. Does the agreement need to be signed? Are there any formalities required? Does the league need approval? 5. The most important thing is the data, and I didn't focus too much on it. Instead, I changed the direction to be the head coach's execution, and rudely sold the players directly! Is the head coach so cowardly? He made an apology lightly, saying that we should discuss it together before. The coaching staff has worked for decades, doesn't he know the players better than Pitt?

6. At the beginning, the three players were dug up and killed like that. Shouldn't it be reasonable to say that there should be a lot of money? What's all this money for? At the end of the season, a phone call is as fierce as a tiger, and the winning streak is so exciting.

7. Although I hardly understand baseball, I have seen some in the NBA, and the latter is not as good as the former in the four major professional leagues in North America. Why is the gap so big? Besides, isn't it all team sports? Don't need to grind?

I thought it was a good story frame, but it was ruined by a bad storyline and bizarre character setting.

    The premiere I watched is close to five stars. Not sensational or pretentious, even if you don't know much about baseball, you can see the soreness of the nose and the blood boiled over. The soundtrack editing is in place, Pete's performance is very good, not hysterical, but full of tension, Oka actor hopes not small. Of course, my daughter's Lenka's The Show is also great. The strong Oscar aesthetics and American spirit are another marvel of sports themes.

    Super No-love sports theme with a version of slag subtitles, I actually watched it a few times in sorrow. This is not a story about a loser winning back the grand slam of life, but a person who was undervalued found a group of undervalued people, challenged stereotypes, flouted the established rules and talks of experience, faced ridicule and negation, and told those who made the rules of the game. Big guys, those people who follow the trend of the butt "I can never fail to be myself" story.

Moneyball quotes

  • Peter Brand: The Visalia Oaks and our 240 lb catcher Jeremy Brown, who as you know, scared to run to second base. This was in a game six weeks ago. This guy is going to start him off with a fastball. Jeremy's going to take him to deep center. Here's what's really interesting, because Jeremy's gonna do what he never does. He's gonna go for it. He's gonna around first and he's gonna go for it. Okay?

    [On the video, Jeremy trips and falls over first base]

    Peter Brand: This is all Jeremy's nightmares coming to life.

    Billy Beane: Awwww, they're laughing at him.

    Peter Brand: And Jeremy's about to find out why. Jeremy's about to realize that the ball went 60 feet over the fence. He hit a home run and didn't even realize it.

  • Peter Brand: [sportscasters are crediting Art Howe for the A's dramatic turnaround] Did you hear that?

    Billy Beane: All I heard was "seven in a row".
