Just enjoy the show

I think that there is no happy ending like ordinary sports inspirational films, which is what makes this film beloved. How to break the rules in an unfair world and get what you want. After getting it, can you keep it? These are questions.

At the beginning of the film, everyone thinks Billy is crazy, predicting that his rhetoric will not succeed. But, as the audience, we all knew he would succeed. Because this is just a movie. Nobody wants to see a loser's story. Towards the end, when he turned down the sky-high annual salary given by the top team and decided to lead the original group of players, I think most people are waiting to see how brilliant this group of undervalue players has created. However, reality is always reality. Since this is an unfair game, breaking its rules must only bring temporary victory. Just like the "dark horses" that often appear in major events, there are a few who eventually become winning generals. I think there are only a handful of them.

In the face of an unfair game, all you have to do to become a winner is to obey the rules of the game. And, be very rich.

Off topic, a lot of people say that Brad Pitt in this movie is obviously old, I don't think so, and he obviously played Botox. . . The show sung by the little loli in the film is also a song that I personally like very much. It can match the movie so well~

    [Beane buries his head in hands out of frustration with the conversation]

    John Poloni: Now you guys are full of it. Artie's right. This guy's got an attitude and an attitude is good. I mean it's the kind of guy who walks into a room and his dick has already been there for two minutes.

    Phil Pote: He passes the eye candy test. He's got the looks. He's great at playing the part. He just needs to get some playing time.

    Matt Keough: I'm just saying his girlfriend is a 6 at best.

  • 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.
