This one was sincere and heartfelt. It's a true story about following your dreams. And how life can not pan out the way you hoped, Take different twists and turns, and still be beautiful.

Yes it is about changing a team, defining success in a new way, being a path breaker. It pointed to a new way in evaluating wins and successes in any field. And the courage it takes to break the mold in any field.

But on a higher level: dreams achieved and not achieved. Dreams of the main stage but the confidence erodes. Talent but the inability to perform on the level expected. The challenges of Constraint of money.

Developing a pioneering system-- Being recognized for it with world record of 20 straight wins! - but not with a series win. It seemed very real life. I appreciated this realism, thought it was so well developed and a real trajectory of a man's journey, self questioning, not successes and success. And getting the chance to lead GM of the Red Sox that won thee series 2 years later, but turned it down. It wasn't right for him. Choose your path, and there is not one path to success. You define what peace and success mean to you.

Jonah Hill is an excellent dramatic actor and also great, great timing. You'll Never seen him just say words. He's in the character, always.
