Review of Moneyball (2011) by Knicksfan7 — 26 Sep 2011
Finally a heartwarming and inspiring sports film NOT entirely focused on the team, and not about a championship run or world series I should say. Im not too familiar on the story though, im more of a basketball fan but I enjoy baseball all the same.
But this movie was damn good, knowing the story or not. It was filled with witty dialogue, emotion, and an amazing writing job which was expected considering it was written by aaron sorkin (the social network) and the writer of the schindlers list.
This movie overall was just plain great. Its amazing how good of a movie they made out of such a flat subject. Moneyball is a movie for the ages, definitely my pick for best movie of 2011. Brad Pitt was hilarious, and he did a award deserving performance in showing us who Billy Beane truly is, a great guy whose struggled through some big hardships, just trying to win some baseball games the right way.
Whether you have a major love for the game of baseball or if you absolutely hate it, you will love this movie. Its not focusing on the game of baseball specifically, its focusing mostly on Billy Beanes story which is inspiring, and also about the tough world of business.
Brad Pitt will definitely be nominated for an academy award, either for this or the tree of life, and Moneyball is more than deserving of a best picture nomination and potentially a win. Go see this movie now, youll love it, and youll learn to love and earn much respect for Billy Beane.
A film for the ages, 10/10 definitely.
