Every script he writes is filled with sharp, concise dialogue that keeps you hooked on the characters. A screenplay by Aaron Sorkin was destined to keep me captivated. Thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I can say I have no interest in Baseball (not particularly huge in the UK). Completely unconventional, having a computer system pick the most suitable players as opposed to listening to veterans who have something that algorithms do not: experience. It didn't work out, and so he desired to change the system and defy the industry as a personal vendetta against them. He himself was chosen to play professionally, ditching his chances of further education. This is not so much about changing Baseball, but a personal journey for Billy Beane. Such a model could change the Baseball industry and negate years of traditional intuition. Using statistics and logic to pick the most effective players at the cheapest price, therefore building the ultimate economical team. Why should this one be any different? Well, this is the true story of the Oakland Athletics to which their General Manager at the time used a new technique of deciding a team: the Moneyball model. Pretty sure Hollywood has tackled every type of sport, including Baseball several times over. Hundreds of sports films, hundreds of them.
