A great movie recommendation every day
Yo, dear friends, this is a verbose brother! I'm going to give you an old movie today, but good guys, to be honest, this movie is suitable for all ages, with connotation and fun, it is definitely an audio-visual feast!
In recent years, our people's love for sports culture has been increasing day by day. From time to time, a star athlete squandered his blood on the field and won the rainbow fart of the audience, becoming the focus of attention for a while. But who would have thought that behind these dazzling medals and honors, what kind of hard work is made? It's like what we're seeing, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Having said that, thankfully, there are sports documentary films that clear the fog and give us a glimpse into the lesser-known inside and out. You see, like "Legend No. 42", "Let's Wrestle! Dad", aren't these old powerhouses telling these inspirational stories? It's really shining and shining!
Then today, our brothers will break up and crush a good play of the same kind for you - "Moneyball". This film is adapted from a true story, and it tells a wonderful story in the American baseball world!

Hey, don't be in a hurry, let my brother nag you about the achievements of this film first. In a word, it has been nominated for 6 heavyweight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing! As for Douban, it has a super high score of 8.2, leading 81% of biopics!
What's the story? Don't worry, Pipsqueak will give you 1510 authentics. The male protagonist of the film is Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, played by old man Brad Pitt.
One year, the total value of the players of the Athletic Team at that time was only 40 million, and in a game against the Yankees, which was worth 1.3 billion, they were tragically slid and lost. Seeing that the Yankee bosses looked overjoyed, they pretentiously lay their elbows back, shook and slowly took a sip of red wine, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts: Haha, just 40 million is not enough for us to drink coffee!
Sure enough, after the game, the old guys who swept the floor began to stretch out their hands to greet each other, and directly dug up the three leading stars of the sports team with their money ability! In the blink of an eye, Billy's team was like a remnant of a defeated army, losing ground and crumbling.
But who knows? The big-spending boss actually played a cool dog leg in front of Billy: The money is gone, but you have to form a new team, haha, good luck!
To be honest, I sweated for Billy when I heard this. Forming a new team? It's like playing the piano to a cow! Who doesn't know that the athlete team has always been a small family, where can you afford to hire a master? Billy's annual salary alone will have to make the boss pay for seven or eight years!
But at this moment, a big fat man named Peter, who graduated from the Yale Department of Economics, appeared. At first, Billy thought he was a temporary worker, and casually asked: Look at your bear-roaring body, I'm afraid it's hard to run a horse and take advantage of the loopholes, right? Who knew that Peter was honest and had a good idea of the theory of player selection!
Originally, he advocated high-level data analysis to identify those undervalued potential stocks from thousands of players and sign them at a low price. Although it sounds a little awkward, but brother, I can see the right taste at a glance, isn't this just right? Saving money and employing people, Billy immediately kept him.
So, the two of them said a word, and through analyzing countless data, they finally found a group of players who could be used to replace the star. But who would have thought that when Billy invited these old boys to the team, he caused an uproar!
For one, the management thinks that these guys are all old or disabled, like an old sick club. What's worse is that the head coach of the team has a tough attitude, not only signing a blank check for a year and leaving when negotiating with Billy, but also doing it everywhere, that is, not arranging players to play according to Billy's deployment.
As a result, the team's record plummeted, and it was simply a mess. Billy also completely woke up at this time, he let go, and insisted on trading all the coach's cronies and forcibly letting his players enter the main game.
Wow, this one is really a good show! No one could have imagined that these seemingly weak old boys would be a blockbuster on the field, fighting their way out of the encirclement, not only creating the 7 consecutive victories that Billy promised at the beginning, but also shocking in the end, winning 20 consecutive victories in one breath, breaking the league record!
Don't underestimate this last game, although the Athletics team unfortunately lost, Billy's career has since gone against the current and blossomed everywhere! Because of this wave of magical results, he was undoubtedly selected by the Boston Red Sox club, and signed a sky-high contract with an annual salary of $12.5 million in one fell swoop! Once famous, reach the highest point of life! This is the most exciting chapter in the sports world, and it is also a real inspirational story!
Hey, folks, how's it going? Is the plot of the movie confusing and unexpected? If you want me to say, although this film is called a sports movie, it is in the bones
