化為六月息

~~~~~~ 譯文初稿 ~~~~~~ 

電影《魔球》根據真實故事改編，鼓舞著每個曾經夢想跟體制對抗的你我。

由布萊德彼特(Brad Pitt)所飾演的比利‧比恩(Billy Beane)，是奧克蘭運動家隊(Oakland A's)的經理，負責籌組整個隊伍。比恩有一個認知，那就是所有關於棒球的經驗鐵律都是錯誤的。在預算吃緊的情況下，比利被迫重組球隊，同時必須設法智取其它財大氣粗的隊伍。

曾經也是運動健將的比恩，與常春藤大學(Ivy League)畢業生彼得‧布萊德(Peter Brand) [由喬納希爾(Jonah Hill)飾]，組成令人意想不到的伙伴關係。他們招募不被看好、但卻潛力與能力兼具的廉價球員。這不僅僅只是棒球，更是一場革命，也因此讓勇於挑戰傳統的比恩，遭人抨擊他撕裂了棒球比愛的核心與靈魂。

Money Ball

Based on a true story, Money ball is a movie for anybody who has ever dreamed of taking on the system.

Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's and the guy who assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of baseball's conventional wisdom is wrong. Forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to outsmart the richer clubs.

The onetime jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs, and win games. It's more than baseball, it's a revolution - one that challenges old school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of those who say he's tearing out the heart and soul of the game.
