1About The story
actually sees now that inspiration is the main tone of sports-themed movies, so this movie should be of this type, and the key lies in how to change the story in it.
As always, the film is set in a baseball game at the beginning, and the Oakland Athletics have made the situation worse. They have just lost to the New York Yankees like the Galaxy Fleet, and they have to accept that the three main players of the team have been poached. Reality. The management of the team fell apart, and Billy, played by Pitt, as the team leader, watched a group of smoky think tanks talk about it, "mourning his misfortune and angering him." When a team really comes to an end, it is not when its members are disharmonious, fighting with each other and fighting to the death, but when its leader is powerless and unable to do anything.
By chance, Billy met Peter. But who would have known at that time that a master's degree in economics from Yale University could turn the fortunes of Billy and his team around? Mathematical modeling, data analysis, they try to use a set of theoretical algorithms that are different from ordinary people to rebuild a championship team. In the eyes of others, there is no chance of their actions being recognized. Just imagine a group of people who would defy the 150-year-old tradition of scouting to discover players and start anew. Are they like jumping beam clowns and become everyone's "thorn in the side"? But maybe it is only when we have fallen to the bottom that we have the courage to break the boat; maybe we will betray each other in this way, but we cannot lose such a courageous attempt. As Er Yuehe said, "Life is like a cauldron. When you reach the bottom of the cauldron, as long as you work hard, no matter which direction you go, it will always go up." If Billy didn't have Peter's strong support, he might have It's easy to say give up; if Peter didn't have a Bole like Billy, his good horse might have been buried in the midst of mediocrity for the rest of his life. In times of crisis, we cherish each other and light the candle of hope for each other. They share weal and woe, tacitly "going astray".
As a result, a group of controversial players were recruited into the team. Their chances to play were ruthlessly squeezed, and their performance on the field was unsatisfactory. Such a team with no chemical reaction has been baptized by repeated defeats, and their future is cloudy. After all, to be the first to eat crabs, there is no way out without making bloody sacrifices. In order to make the players he bought show value, Billy took a risk and gambled. He sold his All-Star players and corresponding starters in order to let new players play. It's like a crazy gambler who chose "All In", life and death, wealth and honor.
The miracle just happened, an indestructible team came into being. One game after another, the players seemed to see the line of happiness behind the dark clouds, fighting desperately and enjoying the joy of victory to the fullest. With record-breaking, record-breaking, 19-game winning streak and 20-game winning streak, the Oakland A’s have written history with myth. Until the end, even the gods could no longer care for them, and their victory came to an end, and they failed to reach the finals...
At the end of the film, Billy gave up the high salary from the traditional powerhouse Red Sox and stayed on the Athletes because there , is the place where he can stand and take root, and is willing to burn with his life!

2 About characters and actors
Billy, played by Pitt, is quite a plump character. When he was young, he was hand-picked by the coach to join the major league development because of his talent. For this reason, he gave up a high-value full scholarship to a prestigious university to pursue his pure dream. But the reality is hungry, and the dream is eaten. All the cruelty made him understand that his development in the major leagues was doomed to failure, and the seed of childhood shadow was deeply buried in his heart, it was sprouting, it was growing. So much so that after he became the team leader, he didn't even dare to watch the game on the court. He explained it reluctantly. In this way, I developed a relationship with the players, and I couldn't open my mouth to fire them. And in his heart, he must be afraid of going tit-for-tat with his childhood self on the court, and all the eyes are filled with the shadow of his own failure. But it is too early to say that he is weak, and his tough attitude elsewhere in life is still admirable. Just like the daughter in the film asks him if his father is going to lose his job, he will be surprised to question the "true lie", and repeatedly emphasize to convince his daughter that as a father, he does not need to worry too much, because he understands that being a father Yes, no matter what, she must not let her daughter lose confidence in herself, let her know that a loving father like a majestic mountain will always be behind her. He can burst into the team locker room, smash the speakers with a baseball bat, and have the entire team listen to the silence with him, the "movement" only a loser deserves; (Billy in the gym watching the TV The scene where the players keep dropping points on the court, the silent handling of the film can be said to be quite in place.) It can also overcome difficulties, be calm enough to not have any subjective color, and objectively recognize those weird players who are "low three bad". Such a tense life is Billy's life, and Pete's interpretation is accurate.
Jonah Hill's Peter, his uncharacteristic character. He, who has always acted in comedy, has to appear in this film as a decent and serious student, which is really embarrassing for him. It can be seen that this happy little fat man has been restraining his aura. Relying on a low-key expression and a few words, he successfully created the image of a scholar in this film, which is also a rare breakthrough for him.
Speaking of the episodes in the film, Billy's daughter's new interpretation of Lenka's "The Show" is a stroke of genius. The first time she appeared was at the piano shop. At her father's request, she picked up the acoustic guitar and played and sang a short paragraph. The originally cheerful and jumping tune was mixed with a bit of confusion and a little sadness in the loli singing. , but with a fresh look. The singing was streaming in my ears, and a flowery girl naturally appeared in my mind. She was dressed in a long skirt, simple and shy, and her love was just beginning... The second time it appeared, at the end of the film, my father was driving a car, and the CD player in the car was playing. Following the single recorded by his daughter for himself, along with the cute and childish "You such a loser dad...", the camera gave Pete a long close-up of his eyes. At that moment, his eyes must have seen through the whole world... …

3 Regarding the theme
, in fact, in a movie that tells the story of a bad team's counterattack, in the end, they will not win the championship. But isn't that what life is like? It is precisely because there are so many dissatisfactions and dissatisfactions that there are more needs, so that you continue to work hard for life willingly, toil for it, and no matter what, it will have a way to make you believe that it does not come. Tomorrow is impossible, but tomorrow is still unknown...
Let's end with a rather flavorful lyrics:
I'm just a little girl caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go can't do it alone
I've tried, and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
