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~

    It is not sports motivation in the traditional sense. The entry point is great. You can appreciate and think about baseball in different ways, so that people still have room for calm analysis afterwards, rather than just a moment of passion. The characters created by the movie are three-dimensional and full, the drama conflicts constantly, the rhythm and the lines are controlled at the right level, and the two appearances of "The Show" are even more contagious. ★★★★

Moneyball quotes

  • [after the A's lose a game, Billy hears funk music coming from the players' locker room. Irritated, he walks in to see Jeremy Giambi dancing on a table and other players having a good time. Billy takes a baseball bat and smashes the stereo playing music, startling the players and stopping the music]

    Billy Beane: [to Giambi] Get down. Is losing fun?

    [no answer]

    Billy Beane: Is losing fun?

    Jeremy Giambi: No.

    Billy Beane: Then what are you having fun for?

    [Billy throws the baseball bat where it hits a set of weights making a long, loud crashing noise]

    Billy Beane: [points to that area] That is what losing sounds like.

  • Billy Beane: If he's a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good?
