A true inspirational film is not just inspirational.

Just write a few words at random as a short review.

I have often wondered recently, what else has our education given us for so many years, besides the prejudice that we think is common sense, and the logic that we think is perfect and impeccable? ? Nothing at all. That common sense is prejudice, that logic is just intuition at all. In fact, the real foundation of logic is statistics, the theory of probability. Computers never lie unless people use them incorrectly.

Everyone should learn probability theory, statistics, and game theory as the fundamental principles of their own thinking. Life behavior, in the final analysis, is a game.

In addition, I recently re-read the beauty of mathematics (I saw the blackboard version before), which gave many examples to illustrate that some complex problems in daily life can actually be modeled and solved with extremely simple mathematics. This film gives us a good example.

Competitive sports, in the final analysis, is just a business, it is true that it promotes the spirit of sports, but the real face is money. See what sports are poetic, say Zidane's dribbling movements are very elegant, after all, Zidane doesn't care whether he is elegant or not at all, he only cares whether his movements are fast enough and attacking enough.

I don't want to make this article too long, in short, this film can teach almost everyone a good lesson. Thank you, Director Miller and all the creatives.

Moneyball quotes

  • Grady Fuson: Artie, who do you like?

    Scout Artie: I like Perez. He's got a classy swing; its a real clean stroke.

    Scout Barry: He can't hit a curve ball.

    Scout Artie: Yeah, there's some work to be done, I'll admit that.

    Scout Barry: Yeah, there is.

    Matt Keough: And an ugly girlfriend.

    Scout Barry: What does that mean?

    Matt Keough: Ugly girlfriend means no confidence.

    Scout Barry: OK.

    [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.
