This movie is exactly what cinema is about experiencing a world which one doesnt know anything about it and still mesmerized by it. A well paced, good script, well acted movie about less known stories who arent as flashy and glamour.
There are so many aspect of baseball which i didnt get ofcourse but I dont even think this movie needs a person to know so much about baseball.
Point is this movie subverts almost every sports movie cliché. I am a big football fan and I follows different clubs, league games, manegerial stuff, transfers nd all And i can resonate every thing about movie. There’s no big championship scene, no locker room speech, no slow-mo victory montage. Instead, it’s about spreadsheets, stats, undervalued players and background story of how much pressure they go through.
Brad pitt was just excellent and he should have won oscar for this one rather than OUATIH. Its simply one of the best nuanced performance i have ever seen. Brings so much depth to the character without going offbeat for once yet hit every stress conflict scenes perfectly. Probably my fav performance of him
Emotional as well last scene, that daughter tape made me smile and sad at same time.
If there is any person who havent seen this movie, give it a chance its something very rare and fresh air. 10/10 already one of my all time fav movies list.
