Isn't this an inspirational movie?

I saw that the pad was out of power last night, and I finished the last bit this morning.
This is the second time to watch Moneyball, the last time I used the old account, during the awards season that year.

There is no need to write reviews of popular movies. There are more than 200 articles, and the opinions and techniques have been exhausted. Writing now is nothing more than a note for myself:

Billy in the locker room thinking about the highest pay ever given by Red Sox, facing Peter's support, Billy said, so? so what? I've made one mistake in my life based on money and i swore i'll never do it again.
Billy was scouted when he was young and chose to sign on scholarship and signing. After that, due to lack of confidence, he did not perform well on the court and finally retired early.

Peter showed Billy a clip in the lab of a catcher on the team who didn't dare to run to second base. After trying his best to do what he feared the most and failing, he realized he had hit a home run.

Billy looked like he wanted to accept the Red Sox's offer, but ended up staying for his daughter. really? I think at the moment of the change, my daughter's lyrics are:
Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot
To be something I'm not

so in my opinion the show is actually quite pessimistic,
Billy is not a great player, nor is he Excellent manager. Running that catchers are not good at is always a weakness, and a home run is a windfall of hitting outside of running. Destiny has been decided from the personality of the individual, and the harvest is just a fluke.
Who said this is an inspirational movie?

What Billy accomplished through his teenage and middle-aged experiences was to confirm his doubts about what he was going to do. The satisfaction of personal meaning and the success of social meaning are mostly not unified for individuals with self-consciousness.

Who says movies can't be captivating.

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.
