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

  • Peter Brand: There is an epidemic failure within the game to understand what is really happening. And this leads people who run Major League Baseball teams to misjudge their players and mismanage their teams. I apologize.

    Billy Beane: Go on.

    Peter Brand: Okay. People who run ball clubs, they think in terms of buying players. Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins, you need to buy runs. You're trying to replace Johnny Damon. The Boston Red Sox see Johnny Damon and they see a star who's worth seven and half million dollars a year. When I see Johnny Damon, what I see is... is... an imperfect understanding of where runs come from. The guy's got a great glove. He's a decent leadoff hitter. He can steal bases. But is he worth the seven and half million dollars a year that the Boston Red Sox are paying him? No. No. Baseball thinking is medieval. They are asking all the wrong questions. And if I say it to anybody, I'm-I'm ostracized. I'm-I'm-I'm a leper. So that's why I'm-I'm cagey about this with you. That's why I... I respect you, Mr. Beane, and if you want full disclosure, I think it's a good thing that you got Damon off your payroll. I think it opens up all kinds of interesting possibilities.

  • Peter Brand: It's about getting things down to one number. Using the stats the way we read them, we'll find value in players that no one else can see. People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 notable 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 undervalues them.
