Just watched moneyball and it’s a great tilm.
It’s inspirational.
Aside from the soderbergh. Influence on how the scenes are made up.
The film doesn’t film like a sports film but like a finance film
The main premise of the film is that it turns an art into a science. It uses cold hard science to reinvent baseball.
One of the main lessons for me was focus. The traditional model was unfocused. They were too holistic had tok many variables.
The Yale economics grad came in and tried to simplify all the data into one number.
You can simplify to learn more.
There is a separation from reality and perception.
Billy was picked as a talent but ultimately lived up to failure and became a scout instead.
The reality was diffrent to perception.
The scouts also picked fancy things that had no effect on the ultimate bottom line. They were infected by bias.
Simplify. Cut the fat.
Big profits with unperturbed incumbents usually mean there is something is something lacking that can be disrupted.
Profit is a signal of market I effectiveness.
One of the key lines in the film is.
Adapt or die.
If the market changes. There is a reason. You can either be sentimental. Or you adapt and stay alive.
Memories are good but they die with you.
One of the final scenes was some fat dude hitting a home run and not realising.
He hit a home run and didn’t even realise it.
