Tagline: What are you really worth?

Review: Surprisingly, this movie is less about the baseball game than the game of baseball. What is striking about this movie (and its not about outs) is the raw audio sound technique used in this movie that is usually found in documentaries than feature films which helps make this movie come alive. There is a the ambiance of background sound and the echo that seems to resonate and bring the movie closer to the audience and present a much closer to realism experience. There isnt that much actual continuous footage of baseball in this movie, but rather the management of it. The heightened personal and emotional tension is carried throughout the movie and Director Bennett Miller has put together this compelling very intimate portrait of a man played by Brad Pitt and his statistician in an unusual angle of the game of baseball.

Somehow the almost overly brief snippets of scenes and background of current events and story are blended together along with poignant flashbacks will edited into some meaningful, main storyline without ever creating the idea of that the additional footage has someone been shortchanged. Bennett Miller apparently in his wisdom was able to capture the primary message of the movie, developed an accompanying background, and maintained the singular story around the entire movie, the art of carefully scriptwriting and editing.

Even without the formulaic all American ending, Bennett Miller was able to wrap this movie into a complete feeling of wholeness for a feature film. Miller made excellent use of silence and editing choices in keeping the camera going just long enough for the more in depth, substantive emotional impact of a scene to sink in. Miller seems to have brought a new found vision of a approach that brings a more connectiveness and meaningfulness to film making, especially to interesting stories of reality that arent even about the biggest and most momentous achievements of humanity and bringing them captivatingly to the big screen.

      The film Moneyball is worth it to watch. the Moneyball is so fantastic. It’s a strangely paced movie and suffers at times from very long exposition and poorly contrived story lines that seem to be added to no doubt develop the storyline rather than the Moneyball story that I wanted to see.

      Moneyball combines parts of Pocahontas and Braveheart that has a liberal dose of Room Marines into an epic complete that requires practically 3 complete hours to unfold. We could criticise that length, the weak story plus the hammy dialogue. We could attack its thinly-veiled ecological message or even the frankly bizarre spirituality in its second 50 % but honestly practically nothing can spoil the encounter even though you happen to be enveloped in it. And also a huge portion of thats down towards the brilliant use of 3D – that is both subtle and astonishingly efficient. Til now, we happen to be gett ing films with 3D components, Avatar is definitely the primary certainly 3D movie and may well nicely prove to work as one particular for this most important items to occur to blockbuster film-making because Moneyball.

      This film was absolutely cool. Already seen it three times. Loved the comics and this was the most satisfying adaptation I’ve ever seen mixed with the directors personal charm and tweaks. Moneyball was just beautiful to watch and so fun to be a part of as an audience. LOVED IT.

      The motion picture is worth it to watch. the flick is so brilliant. It’s a curiously paced show and suffers at times from very long exposition and poorly contrived story lines that seem to be added to no doubt build up the storyline rather than the full movie story that I wanted to see.
