Such a underrated statement of anger...most would yell and be very animated, but Pitt is mostly stationary and keeps his voice almost calm. His explosions are small and spaced out (hitting the radio, throwing the bat, Gatorade Jug)...making it more powerful. Such a gem from Pitt.

@charlessomerset9754 2 года назад

Yeah, just finished the book and agree with you. There was definitely some tension because everyone kept saying the game was run from the front office and Howe didn't like that, but I guess they needed someone to play the heavy to make the drama more intense. Feel for Howe, though. He was a good manager.

I love this scene because it showed that it's not all about metrics and numbers. The other scouts warned Billy about Giambi's attitude and personality would affect the team's morale, but Billy was so infixiated by numbers that he was blind about Giambi's other side from numbers, which is his attitude.

@joepermenter7228 Год назад

That or signing the inferior member of a family tree as part of a rebuild was as dumb as trading Pena for pretzels when John Mabry was a significant upgrade at 1st and outfield and they could have just held on to Pena rather than losing him as well as Jason. The movie is just fixated on Jeremy because ESPN was at the time and trading Jeremy for Mabry was the best move Beane made all year.

I guess the filmmakers decided that this movie needed a villain, or antagonist, at any rate, because, according to the book this film was based on, Art Howe, the A's manager, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, was fully on board with Beane's approach. That being said, I have heard that Lewis revised the book to portray Howe that way after earlier editions were criticized for portraying Howe more as he is portrayed in the film.

Prefect example of the difference between playing a team sport for a living and a individualized sport. Sign that contract you can suck the whole season and still get paid. Lose first round of a tournament of a individualized sport you're losing money after paying training fees and travel/ hotel and other expenses. Hence the need for sponsors to take the pressure off having to play for your paycheck compared to a signed contract that guarantees a paycheck win or lose.
