Moneyball (2011) Plot

Moneyball is a 2011 biographical sports drama film directed by Bennett Miller and starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, Chris Pratt and Casey Bond. The film is based on Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name, itself based on the true story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics baseball team. Moneyball focuses on Beane's attempts to assemble a competitive team for Oakland's 2002 season, despite the franchise's unfavorable financial situation, by using sophisticated statistical analyses of players. Pitt plays the lead role of Beane, with Hill portraying his assistant GM Peter Brand. Moneyball was featured at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival[4] and was released on September 23, 2011 to critical acclaim.

The film opens at the end of the Oakland Athletics' 2001 season with their loss to the New York Yankees in the postseason, followed by the loss of star players Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi, and Jason Isringhausen to free agency. General Manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) is upset by the loss and struggles to think of a way to make the team competitive despite their significant financial handicap. On a visit to the Cleveland Indians, Beane meets Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a young Yale economics graduate with...
radical ideas about how to assess players' value. Beane tests Brand's theory by asking whether he would have drafted him, Beane having been a Major League player before becoming general manager. Though scouts considered Beane a phenomenal player, his career in the Major Leagues was disappointing. After some prodding, Brand admits that he would not have drafted him until the ninth round, and that Beane would probably have gone to college instead. Sensing opportunity, Beane hires Brand as the Athletics' assistant general manager.

The team's scouts are first dismissive of and then actively hostile towards Brand's non-traditional sabermetric approach to scouting players. Rather than relying on the scouts' experience and intuition, Brand selects players based almost exclusively on their on base percentage (OBP). By finding players with a high OBP, but characteristics that lead scouts to dismiss them, Brand assembles a team with far more potential than the A's hamstrung finances would otherwise allow. Despite vehement objections from the scouts, Beane supports Brand's theory and hires the players he selected. Following the free agent signings, Beane finds that he also faces opposition from Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the Athletics' manager. Tensions between them already high because of a contract dispute, Howe disregards Beane and Brand's strategy and plays the team in a traditional style despite their unsuitability. Beane is eventually forced to trade away the lone star traditional player (Carlos Peña) to force Howe to use the new recruits.

Early in the season, the Athletics fare poorly, leading critics within and outside the team to dismiss the new method as a dismal failure. Beane convinces the owner to stay the course, however, and eventually the team's record begins to improve. Ultimately, the Athletics have an unprecedented twenty consecutive wins, setting the American League record. Their streak is capped with a victory over the Kansas City Royals. Like many baseball players, Beane is superstitious and avoids attending or sometimes even following games as they're in progress. His family convinces him to go to the A's game against the Royals, as Oakland is already leading 11–0 after the third inning and appears set to continue their winning streak. Beane arrives, only to watch the team go to pieces and allow the Royals to even the score. Finally, the A's do clinch the victory with a home run in the bottom of the ninth by one of Brand's picks, Scott Hatteberg. Despite all their success, the A's again lose in the first round of the postseason, this time to the Minnesota Twins. Beane is disappointed, but satisfied at having demonstrated the value of his and Brand's methods.

In closing, the film notes that Beane passed up the opportunity to become the general manager of the Boston Red Sox, despite an offer which would have made him the highest paid GM in baseball history. Also noted is Boston's World Series victory soon after in 2004, based on the theories that Brand and Beane pioneered.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) SYNOPSIS

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguOOzCwWHPCiTA9Link1O3DVev-AWJlYHO_g4q29Bi8K1zS9Fpuqn8fkxAxWGjDpI3wt3BNqacBzEjuUDbqkers031DGARjoVdOu_bhyphenhyphenU0x_qJvnX9hQEXNhurdXa3vBluOPviiyMPbJo6/s400/shawshank_l.jpg 
The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is an impressive, engrossing piece of film-making from director/screenwriter Frank Darabont who adapted horror master Stephen King's 1982 novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (first published in Different Seasons) for his first feature film. The inspirational, life-affirming and uplifting, old-fashioned style Hollywood product (resembling The Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) and Cool Hand Luke (1967)) is a combination prison/dramatic film and character study. The popular film is abetted by the golden cinematography of Roger Deakins, a touching score by Thomas Newman, and a third imposing character - Maine's oppressive Shawshank State Prison (actually the transformed, condemned Mansfield Ohio Correctional Institution or State Reformatory).
Posters for the film illustrate the liberating, redemptive power of hope and the religious themes of freedom and resurrection, with the words: "Fear can hold you prisoner, Hope can set you free." Darabont's film is a patiently-told, allegorical tale (unfolding like a long-played, sometimes painstaking, persistent chess game) of friendship, patience, hope, survival, emancipation, and ultimate redemption and salvation by the time of the film's finale.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGGJdp9fZOWrkyOjWn1e4Q9a0RwNuGJTa_fjH6uvI2rGr5A_SIBS8Is_PnA9V6uHG7VJFZME0-l14AvWbrJ6Xlr8wXFhVqPbp1Onta5MjYfaLFPq1VloIlXZrcqB0MJLb-fSI8hheWDlBX/s1600/shawshank-redemption-1.jpg 
It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Morgan Freeman), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Original Score, and Best Sound - but it failed to win a single Oscar. And the film's director failed to receive a nomination for himself! In the same year as Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, and Speed, they received all of the attention. Only through positive word-of-mouth (following cable TV and broadcast airings, and then video releases) did the film do well - although its original reception at the box-office was lukewarm. The film was the precursor for another inspirational and popular film (and a similar adaptation of a Stephen King story by writer/director Frank Darabont) - The Green Mile (1999).

CAST
  • Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne
  • Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding: Andy's best friend and the film's narrator. Red was convicted of murder in 1927. Before Freeman was cast, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, and Robert Redford were each considered for the role. Although written as a middle-aged Irishman with greying red hair (as in the novella), Darabont cast Freeman for his authoritative presence and demeanor, because he could not see anyone else as Red.
  • Bob Gunton as Warden Samuel Norton: The warden of Shawshank is well versed in the Bible and presents himself as a pious, devout Christian and reform-minded administrator, but his actions reveal him to be in truth corrupt, ruthless, and remorseless.
  • William Sadler as Heywood: a member of Red's gang of long-sentence convicts.
  • Clancy Brown as Capt. Byron Hadley: Chief of the guards. Hadley is an intemperate guard who thinks nothing of delivering beatings to the inmates to keep them in line. When cast for the role, Brown declined the offer to study real-life prison guards as preparation for his role, because he did not want to base it on any one person.
  • Gil Bellows as Tommy Williams: a young convict whose experiences in a previous prison hold the truth about Andy's innocence.
  • Mark Rolston as Bogs Diamond: the head of "The Sisters" gang and a prison rapist.
  • James Whitmore as Brooks Hatlen: prison librarian/trustee and one of the oldest convicts at Shawshank having been in prison since 1905. Darabont cast Whitmore because he was one of his favorite character actors.
