Review of Moneyball

Moneyball (2011)
8/10
I know little about baseball, still liked Moneyball
10 February 2024
Some of the low rating reviews said Moneyball is not accurate and therefore misrepresents what baseball is really about and is not true to what really happened.

Since I know very little about the MLB and not much about the sport itself, I could enjoy the movie unhindered.

First of all, I think Brad Pitt and the other actors do a good job. Secondly, the story tells about people who failed and got another chance, and about outsiders and under dogs coming in to challenge people who think they have all the answers. I found it entertaining and heart string pulling.

Someone wrote the ending didn't make any sense and was too depressing and ambiguous. Well, I liked it, and I liked the relationship between Pitt's character and his daughter.

After watching Moneyball I read the story about Billy Bean and it helped me to fill in the blanks.
