Great Performance

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2018)

If you like baseball you will love this movie. But you don't know or don't like it you will appreciate this movie all the same because it is a well told and filmic epic story. The meanders of baseball are complicated. The evaluations, the contracts, the plans and the philosophy of the game are complex indeed. Brad Pitt has a marvellous performance as general manager of the Oakland AAs club and team and along the movie he makes us greatly feel the suspense and drama of building a victorious team out of the usually admitted parameters.
This story, though romanced, is based in actual events and is psychologically fascinating. Of course you need to know and understand a bit of baseball to appreciate it. I don't know almost anything abput baseball but apreciated the movie in spite of that.
