This film makes you wonder if *you* are undervalued---and then makes you wanna find out. This is at the very core of this film and it's why people who don't normally watch sports movies gravitate to this one. If you've ever genuinely felt like an outcast, underappreciated, ignored, or misunderstood, this film has something to say to you---and probably gives you some hope for yourself.

@JG-oi5gg 9 ай бұрын

Peter Brand is taking what he learned about value investing and applying it where he landed. Makes me think we all have room for that. It's not just a big market thing and it's not just a baseball thing. There are people in all of our lives who are undervalued -- who could be doing more for themselves and for the people around them if they were identified and given the nudge they need.

@doh917 8 ай бұрын

It's a Hollywood film that was designed to carry a narrative that, based on your answer did it's engineered purpose. Not to be a debby downer but what Lewis and this film neglect to mention is is that the A's during the era had 3 of the best pitchers in baseball that were developed in their farm system as a result of good drafting which had nothing to do with utilizing undervalued statistics. Not to mention they had Miguel Tejada who was a perennial all star signed internationally. But revealing these significant factors takes away from the dream that clearly did a number on you and a lot of others. The typical response to this will be a form of defensive ego protection to say well what I said is either a kill joy or who cares it was entertaining (a deflection). What you might want to ask yourself is how do I make myself less susceptible to being told a story about something and completely fall for it because the same ppl who generate and engineer the responses that you stated which shows that what they did worked also sell you on a lot of other things like products you may not need. Just a heads up

@lylestavast7652 8 ай бұрын

There's a really good video/written presentation on this idea called "One Percent Better Elder Michael A. Dunn". It's religiously oriented on some of the included topics, but the underlying statistical element is that improving 1% on each thing as you encounter them will compound as you develop better habits and you'll have outsized improvement - uses a British cycling team progression as an example. (other references to LDS church scripture and gospel topics, but you can listen past those if not of interest and still get the gist of what's being spoken of as a general principle).

However, there is something so captivating about the way the film is shot and written that makes it so enjoyable. I think that That is the biggest compliment a film like this can get. That someone who is completely out of touch with the subject matter can enjoy it so much. It's a comfort movie for me, and I think it's Aron Sorkin's best work.

"How many'dja do?" "47." "Okay." "Actually, 51. I don't know why I lied just then." This is incredible writing. The lie was never questioned, and was immediately corrected by Peter, who then openly admitted that the lie served no purpose whatsoever, and even he didn't know why he said it. This never comes up again. That lie could have been left out of the script entirely, and it would have had zero impact on the movie. The writers didn't include that line because it served any purpose; they included it simply because it's something a guy like that would do out of nerves.

@daisy671 Жыл бұрын

Good observation. I always thought it was Peter's nerves, then a quick realization that he doesn't need to lie to impress Billy. An instinctive "white lie" that was instantly regretted. Billy's demeanor in not questioning the lie, or why, is also a great tell into his character. He understood the anxiety involved. The writing was above fantastic in this film. Imo.

It's really fun to watch these two meet, brainstorm, and then pick up steam with the team.

They had to take some liberties and make it seem like it was something that kind of dawned upon Billy out of nowhere. Truth is they were already prioritizing OBP and finding ‘defective’ players after LaRussa left and new ownership told Sandy Alderson they had to start running the team like a business, circa 1996. It didn’t just dawn on them after 2001. But that’s when Lewis started researching the project, and the focus was on 2002. But had they adhered strictly to the book and not taken some liberties, it may have been impossible to create a compelling movie. My only complaint is that too many who see the film won’t read the book, so they’ll come out of the theater thinking it was the way it was presented on screen. One thing they got right is that the game had passed many baseball men by. They were a stubborn lot of dinosaurs.

Even to this day, I still wish there would be one year that the A's would finally be able to win it all. And that's coming from a small Boston Red Sox fan here. Player talents really shine brightly in people's eyes but it means nothing if the numbers say otherwise. And therein lies the hardest part, finding those talents with the numbers to back it up. It amuses me that, at the end of the film, it showed the moneyball idea inspired the Red Sox front office and eventually built the team that ended 80+ years of pain.

Uhh, I don't think he has? He's made like a dozen plus movies since this came out? He made 21 and 22 Jump Street, some of his biggest hits, when he was at his skinniest? Also, he shifted more into directing and producing because he's always wanted to direct, that would be why he's done less in the past couple years acting wise. Except for a movie with 3 of the biggest stars on the planet......

I remember in an early episode of Magnum P.I. Magnum's friend, Navy Lt.MacReynolds that worked at the NCIS at Pearl Harbor Naval Base took some information about a surf ski event that Magnum was going to participate in. Used Thomas's stats and compared them with others and figured out on a computer software program where he'd finish. Showed his strength and weakness areas.

Lovely movie. Billy had a problem and he found a scientific way to stay above the water and still be competitive. The most important thing here is with shoestring budget, they tried and showed my beloved A's can win and make the fans want to come see them in "our" shithole" coliseum. Also made Yankees look like idiots. I can live with that. Small budget teams need not suck, if they are willing to change their thinking.... This movie deserved oscar..

He’s had a couple of annoying roles, but even when you look at something like Superbad, i mean watch real closely, there’s an energy he gives off that just makes the character so much better than it should be. Of course, that role probably branded him for a bit and gave him other similar ones, but obviously thats because he did it so well. It doesn’t matter how many times i hear him panting “Jules want’s my dick, in and around her mouth” , it makes me crack up every time.
