இந்தத் திரைப்படத்தைப் பற்றி

Based on a true story, Moneyball is a movie for anybody who has ever dreamed of taking on the system. Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's and the guy who assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of baseball's conventional wisdom is wrong. Forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to outsmart the richer clubs. The onetime jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs, and win games. It's more than baseball, it's a revolution -- one that challenges old school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of those who say he's tearing out the heart and soul of the game. MPAA Rating: PG-13 Rated PG-13 for some strong language. 2011 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

A very well made sport movie considering it's closely adapted from true events. Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) is the main character of the film and the film intertwined his only life and brief career as a major leaguer with his philosophy of trying to win with a major league team that plays at a severe financial disadvantage to the likes of NY and Boston. For the most part, the film did not go the extra length of creating dramatic situations and outcomes to keep you interested, partly because it is based on true events, but rather it managed to portray all the little reactions and emotions of everyone involved. Things like previously injured or largely disregarded players showing their gratefulness of a chance to play and internal conflicts among the team's staff really make this film shine. Even though the trailer showed many comedic clips, make no mistake about it, this is a sometimes-heartwrenching drama, because baseball is a tough, ruthless business. Movie is a little long at 133 minutes, but you still come away feeling like there are more stories to be told.

Performances by Brad Pitt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jonah Hill and supporting cast make this more then just a great baseball film. 4.5 stars. As close to five stars as you can get. Would have liked to know more about Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) and what really keeps him in Oakland year after year. Many touching scenes regarding each character. A true Winner.

So I was thinking about buying this movie on Google for a few days now, but its New Year's Eve and I had nothing to do tonight unfortunately... I like sports movies, but this one jump to being my favorite! It was amazing what the Oakland A's managed to do! This movie not only has the underdog story, but shows you the power of thinking outside of the box and the power of pure analysis! A must for anyone that is 1) a sports fan, 2) a believer that superstition is B.S., or 3) believes in modern economics!
