Highly recommend this movie based on a true story. Billy Beane's life experience provides us with a new perspective on "success".
He has two major options. The first time was the choice between "a contract in Major League Baseball" and "a full scholarship to Stanford University"; the second time was the choice between "staying as a GM of the team" and "moving to the Red Sox to become a salary in sports history" The choice between the highest GM". In the first choice, he gave up the opportunity to go to Stanford for money and chose to become a professional baseball player, which proved to be a very unsuccessful choice. To this end, he vowed never to make decisions for money in his life. In the second choice, he kept his oath and chose to give up being the highest paid GM in sports history.
As a player, he was undoubtedly a failure. But as a GM, his success is debatable. With a very low investment, his team has created a winning streak in the history of professional baseball. The total number of wins in the season is tied with the New York Yankees, which invested several times as much as his own, and received the highest salary offer in sports history. Billy is undoubtedly is successful. However, he was infinitely close to the championship for two consecutive seasons but missed the championship, and Billy failed again.
Billy Beane's life has its ups and downs, its ups and downs. As a player, he is extremely mediocre and has fallen to the bottom; as a GM, he has made history and is infinitely close to the peak.
As a feature film, Moneyball's plot is rich and exciting, and the plot has a strong sense of substitution. As an inspirational film, Moneyball innovatively presents a new perspective on "success" to the audience, which is different from the previous inspirational films. That is: "You such a loser dad, just enjoy the show".
It is rare to be able to spend this life with such a state of mind, no matter whether it is without waves or with great ups and downs.
So, just enjoy the show.
