Review: Moneyball tells the story of the season of the Oakland Athletics, a team that got fame due to its low wage and unorthodox player selection in 2002. Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), a former player turned general management, tired with the old, inefficient forms of play that made his life. When a transaction goes wrong, he encounters Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a Yale economist who believes that he is going to negotiate a rating system based on players numbers.Billy and Peter sign and prepare the team based on data, not scouting, something the other team members do not like, including Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the manager teams. Billy Peters system and defies logic current baseball but the club when one starts to play with players like Scott Hatteberg (Chris Pratt), David Justice (Stephen Bishop) and Chad Bradford (Casey Bond), winning the country eyes turn to Oakland, where only seeing is believing.What happened in Oakland around 02 was great. It should not have happened, if you ask the right people, and other people will tell you that means nothing. Well, he meant something changed for the better the way people think about the game. You could not just go out and look for a child to see if he would or not a star. There were more statistics to consider than home runs, strikeouts and batting average. The game was expanding and becoming more and more a battle of logic.The films structure is mainly focused on Billy Beane, but the most exciting parts for me were about the system. Writer Aaron Sorkin, who agreed to a number of awards for his screenplay The Social Network, a few months ago playing the jargon that baseball fanatics crazy. To the general public, where Billy helps. Peter explains the system and it should break down more Beane (ie the public) to anyone on the screen and the seats are the same page.Pitts portrait of Beane won me over. It completely surprised me. I know Pitt can act, but I remember him for performances that were very complex outside. Aldo Raine (Inglourious Basterds), with pronounced chin, small eyes, and accent. Benjamin Button (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), who grew younger as he grew older. Jeffrey Goines (12 Monkeys), who could not sit still and much less focus on a subject in a conversation. Yes, he was nominated for all these performances, but in a performance like that there is something bubbling under the surface. All your characters to a certain extent is something going on underneath, just this character, Billy Beane, is so normal and calm on the outside, but when he is alone, we can see the pain and frustration. His supporting cast of Hill, Hoffman, and the huge amount of ball players and colleagues, help this baseball team in the world of the Oakland Athletics. Hill and Hoffman play especially perfect for outdoor sunny Pitts praise. Hill is quiet, shy, and very smart. Hoffman is cold, weathered, and stubborn. Pitt is able to play both temperaments and their scenes together jumping the screen of one thing this film has going for it is the lack of real action on the diamond. There are some great scenes of real baseball bat by Hatteberg one in particular struck a chord with me, but most of the time the action is behind the scenes. Not enough for a sports addict to their correçãoe seduce. Enough drama and Beane and his family to an average viewer in the theater I can not think audiences would not find it interesting to many, except for children, because of the language and the complexity of some of the dialogues. All in all, this is a film that will appeal to many people, and a lot of different people, a sort of The Blind Side, the movie is just really really good.
