Good book, good adaptation

The film is based on the original book by Michael Lewis (and indeed nominated for various adapted screenplay awards). After 2000, I didn't like Brad Pitt and his wife very much, but it is undeniable that the couple chose the script with a steady and ruthless vision. The script was revised three times, and finally it turned out to be a remarkable work - at least you have not seen the climax of a sports inspirational film happen in the office of the general manager who is about to leave. It's a complex polyhedron with at least one side that impresses a certain audience. 1.so lucky old dog! This time the economic model finally worked properly (the audience just came over from the big short next door) 2.pitt's character is so well written, if you change the role, you can win the golden man (he and his daughter-in-law) The problem is that the role is fixed, which is too dramatic) 3. The economic model is effective in a large number, but it is the strength that determines the final winner or loser. 4. We will all be told at some point in time that we can no longer play the games kids play, it just varies from person to person, some are 18, some are 40, but sooner or later we will be told of. 5. Growth is more important than success, because the former is reliable. 6.you're such a loser, just enjoy the show. This is my favorite movie I've seen recently, 8.1

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.
Scout Artie: But he is noticeable.
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.
