Film Thoughts: 'Moneyball'
29/11/12 16:43I asked people to leave me questions about some of the films I’ve seen recently and today I start posting answers (although you can still leave me questions about any of the films on the list that I haven’t already talked about). First up, I answer questions from My Friend Amy about ‘Moneyball’:
Amy: Moneyball--what say you?
Jodie: Amy, I loved it! When it started being all formulas and maths I thought I was going to have so much trouble, but much like in ‘The Social Network’ it doesn’t matter if you don’t get the advanced theory because the film makes the subject so accessible. And its subject matter contained so many of my interests - baseball, male relationships, team dynamics, and struggles against authority. Loved. It.
( Play ball )
Amy: Overhyped or the best baseball movie of recent times?
Jodie: Nothing will ever replace ‘A League of Their Own’ in my heart, but this film was great. It was slick, absorbing and made entertainment out of statistics. I would watch it again right now if I had it.
