Moneyball is a film that highlights the stages through which a football manager took a baseball team from a despised to a respected level. Billy Beane has an ambition of bringing up a baseball team yet finances limit him. Apparently, he cannot afford the minimum amount required to pay a player. This did not hinder him from pursuing his dream even as he sought advice from his friend Peter Brand who also becomes his close associates. They decided to hire players who would not mind playing at a lesser fee. This made his team to be the most despised as it was considered that with less remuneration, they will not be motivated to play well. This is fulfilled when there are defeated in their first match. Even though it was a defeat to some people, it was just a stepping-stone for Billy who worked hard to ensure that the team improved on its scores (Miller, Vandome & John, 10-26).
The tea picks up and records twenty consecutive wins, this surprised many who thought the team would never make it to the top. The win not only makes the team to be recognized but also iota manager being offered opportunities to be the manager of one of the best teams. The film is aimed at teaching as an important lesson about money and performance. The objective was mainly to reveal to us that obtaining good results is not about the results but rather the willingness that the players and managers have towards performing. It is the determination and hard work the team put in place that will yield results rather than what the players and the manager desires to achieve in form of money (Lewis, 35). Choosing players who were despised also reveals how much talent is left to waste simply because of their level and category in which they play.
