'the first one through the wall always gets bloody'
this was a line from moneyball
& i think it sums up the movie pretty well, too...
no, this isn't a zombie movie disguised as a baseball movie
but it is about being a trailblazer
& how when you're the first to try something,
you're also the first to get beat up over it (also, not literally)

i love sports movies
& i'm so happy to be adding this one to the list...
the entire thing reminded me of my dad
which was a fun bonus to a great movie :)
The story, about how the Oakland A's (my dad had a hat in the 80's)
figured out a way to assemble a winning team on a small budget
(basebally speaking)...
brad pitt played a guy (billy bean) who was a baseball star in high school (like my dad)
& became the general manager for the A's
(who dresses like my dad when he's hanging out or golfing)
the A's are having a hard time so billy hires a guy to help them out...
jonah hill plays the guy (who dresses like my dad when he goes to work)
who creates a mathematical equation (my dad taught math)
that shows which players, when put together will form a great team
or something like that (i did not teach math)...

i love watching brad pitt play a regular guy
he's so great at it that i tend to forget that he's, you know, brad pitt
& then he smiles & i remember oh yeah, THAT'S brad pitt...
& jonah hill, who is now half his movie size, is so good, too...
the two of them together is an exercise in great chemistry.
their scenes together in offices are awesome...
& seriously, who would have guessed?
brad pitt & jonah hill?
a match made in heaven <3
