Kenneth Feinberg, a powerful D. Original title Moneyball. IMDb Rating 7. TMDb Rating 7. Bennett Miller. Brad Pitt. Jonah Hill. Philip Seymour Hoffman. Peter's revolutionary paradigm is that in baseball you don't buy superstars, you buy wins. More specifically, you buy runs, hits, and walks. Peter's brilliance lies in analyzing the statistics and getting the undervalued talent. Pitt and Hill have amazing chemistry. They are funny together, and their underlying bond is respect.
This is part of the touching humanity of "Moneyball". The other humanizing relationship is Billy with his young daughter Casey wonderful Kerris Dorsey.
Dorsey is the authentic shy teenager. She lives with her Mom, Billy's ex played by Robin Wright. Pitt has a natural fatherly partnership with Dorsey. Pitt has a beguiling charisma that is never overshadowed by kids. Together as Casey sings Billy the song she wrote for him, unpredictable movie magic emerges. What I found so inspiring about "Moneyball": its soul is about reclaiming one's innate greatness.
Billy and Peter acquire 37 year-old David Justice commanding Stephen Bishop in the twilight of his career. Pitt has a come to Jesus meeting with the aging superstar.
Billy points out that Cleveland was willing to pay half his salary for him to play elsewhere. He admits to Justice that he is also gone if this experiment in Oakland is a bust. Pitt looks him in the eye and says, "Be a leader. Leaders generate other leaders, and alter the way we view the world.
Pitt is amazing. He is uncompromising in his passion and humanity, and he delivers with humor and heart. This is a wonderfully scripted movie by Zaillian and Sorkin. Director Bennett elicits authentic performances from his impeccable cast.
On the surface "Moneyball" maybe about getting things on the cheap, but it is really about seeing the best in people. Baseball by the numbers by moviemanMA Moneyball tells the story of the season of the Oakland Athletics, a team that rose to notoriety because of its low payroll and unorthodox player selection.
Billy Beane Brad Pitt , a former player turned general manage, grows tired with the ancient, inefficient ways of the game he has committed his entire life to. When a transaction goes awry he stumbles across Peter Brand Jonah Hill , a Yale, economics graduate who believes he has a system to rating players based on numbers. Billy and Peter's system defies current baseball logic, but when the club starts to win games with players like Scott Hatteberg Chris Pratt , David Justice Stephen Bishop , and Chad Bradford Casey Bond , the eyes of the country turn to Oakland, where only seeing is believing.
What happened in Oakland back in '02 was incredible. It shouldn't have happened if you ask the right people, and other people will tell you it means nothing. Well, it did mean something it has changed the way people think about the game for good. You couldn't just go out and look at a kid to see if he would be a star or not.
There were more stats to consider than home runs, strikeouts, and batting average. The game was expanding and becoming more and more a battle of logic. The film's structure is centered mostly on Billy Beane, but the most exciting parts for me were about the system. Writer Aaron Sorkin, who a few months back accepted a slew of awards for his screenplay The Social Network, tosses out jargon that baseball fanatics go crazy for. For the general audience, that's where Billy helps out.
Peter explains the system and has to break it down more for Beane i. Pitt's portrayal of Beane won me over. He completely caught me off guard. I know Pitt can act but I remember him for performances that were very complex on the outside. Aldo Raine Inglourious Basterds with his pronounces chin, squinty eyes, and thick accent. Jeffrey Goines 12 Monkeys who couldn't sit still let alone focus on one subject in a conversation.
Yes, he was nominated for all these performances, but in a performance like this there is something bubbling under the surface. All of his characters to an extent have something going on underneath, only this character, Billy Beane, is so normal and calm on the outside, yet when he is alone we can see pain and frustration. His supporting cast of Hill, Hoffman, and the slew of ball players and colleagues, help turn this baseball team into the world of Oakland Athletics. Hill and Hoffman especially play perfect compliments to Pitt's sunny exterior.
Hill is quiet, timid, and very smart. Hoffman is cold, weathered, and stubborn. Pitt is able to play off of both temperaments and make their scenes together pop off the screen. The one thing that this movie has going for it is the lack of actual action on the diamond.
There are some great scenes of actual baseball, one at bat by Hatteberg in particular struck a chord with me, but for the most part the action is behind the scenes. There is enough for a sports junkie to get their fix and enough drama and with Beane and his family to entice any average viewer into the theater.
I can't think of many target groups that wouldn't find it interesting, except for children, due to language and complexity of some of the dialogue. All in all this is one movie that will please a lot of people, and more importantly a lot of different people, sort of like The Blind Side, only the movie is actually really good.
Usually when this happens there's a horde of folks queued up. When the doors to the theatre open, phones are sequestered, and a rush is put on to find prime seating. Surely a sneak to see a Brad Pitt movie would be even more chaotic. Unfortunately the waning popularity of America's pastime is as much of a deterrent as a movie star and free entertainment are agents of attraction. After losing in the playoffs to the Yankees, the A's lose their stars to free agency.
Billy is tasked with rebuilding despite a payroll that leaves the A's trailing the competition. While going through the usual motions, Billy happens by Pete Brand Jonah Hill , an economist who may have found a way to scout baseball with the efficiency the A's need.
The two delve in head first, and despite some tough outings they never back down.
