"Moneyball" is a great story of determination. It tells the true story of Billy Beane, the GM of the Oakland A's, played by Brad Pitt. The A's are not the best team, and they are not the most expensive ether. Billy wants to make a difference this new season, and hock the world. He wants to win the World Series on a dime. The scouts are not too pleased with this plan, but since he is the boss they have to go with it. During the offseason he travels to Cleveland for a business deal for trades. While there he meets, Peter Brand, played by Jonah Hill. Peter thinks that baseball should be about runs, and who is getting them. Billy likes Peter he decides to take him in as as his Assistant GM. He is belittled during the beginning of the season by the media, the Coach, the scouts, and the fans, because the new plan of bringing cheaper guys, is not working at first. Art Howe, played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman, is not cooperating with Billy because Billy's ideas does not seem plausible. Billy is determined to ride out the season. After awhile they start winning and go on a 20 win streak. This is a great story of strength, and trying to better yourself.
This film is great, everything worked well together. Aaron Sirken did an amazing job created the screenplay based on the book by Ben Mezrich. David Fincher directed this film and is always fantastic. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was also great in this film, it was a different role but it worked well for him. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill were spectacular together in this film. They deserved their Oscar nominations. Brad Pitt is great in any role he is given. Jonah Hill really stepped up in this film, and he proved that he play many different roles. This film is great especially for the new Baseball season.
