Moneyball.
It isn't the movie a lot of people watched, it isn't the interest of most people in fact. The story was sad though, and as sad as it was, it told me alot. In the movie, a man named Billy Beanes was a scout for a team in which was supported by less than 40,000,000 USD each year, while they were playing against teams such as NY Yankees supported by 120,000,000 USD. He took a route in playing baseball based on statistics, based on science, based on math. All for the risk of losing his job, losing his life, as he has already lost his family (divorced). In the movie.. Billy Beanes said something like (can't find it atm):
At some point in life, we're told we can't play the children's game anymore. Everyone is told this. It takes some people a day to get pass it, some people a week, some a month, some a decade. Some people just don't get over it. We have to learn, before it's too late.It isn't that much a good quote, but when it applies to Billy, he declined his scholarship to Stanford for baseball, only to be cheated and thrown to bad teams, only to be bought, only to be used as a card on the dealers deck. It is a sad sad movie that I suggest everyone watch.
