Billy Beane Movie Analysis
The movie starts out with billy beane played by brad pitt being very distressed. We soon find out exactly why. Come to find out, as he put it, their team the Oakland athletes were “being gutted”. Teams with a lot more money offered three of his players, key players at that, bigger contracts. Which they did take advantage of, leaving the team behind. To the other recruiters, and scouts it the problem was replacing the strengths of the key players they lost. However in billy’s eyes the problem was more, than not just finding good replacements but finding guys who could get the job done with their already available budget. There biggest adversity wasn’t the obvious finding the talent and skill replacement, but really trying to keep up and compete …show more content…
Knowing that beane was capable of handling the situation he didn’t give him the easy way out. Beane had no other choice but to look at the situation differently, understanding that insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. As a leader schott allowed Billy enough freedom to be a manager, but not bailing him out when thing weren’t looking so hot either. Cornering him in to finding his strength and challenging him to challenge the conventional and even when the results are shaky at first trusting him to continuing. Lines of communication were open and he was confident in his decisions. If he truly doubted billy it didn’t show. He was not domineering, he properly delegated which allowed for others he put in leadership positions to thrive and find well earned success. Without him there is not team or stadium or staff. He is not only proficient in leading, he is also an example for other leaders. He listens and trusts those under him depending on him. He exhibits adaptive leadership style, much like billy’s adaptive leadership style what ever need to be done in light of the situation there ready to move in that

    The Wild Bunch: Movie Analysis

    After the civil right movement, films such as Unforgiven, Posse, Silverado, and even Django Unchained paid tribute to a 1970’s Blaxploitation era. Still movies like Unforgiven, Silverado, and Posse had black leads dying, but they died in a more heroic form. The 1993 film Posse reversed the skin color of the actors from the film The Wild Bunch. The film is basically a re-vision of the film The Wild Bunch. The film Posse is also a contemporary western settings, classic west themes, classic firearms, and ideas, but staring black actors now. Also to note, rapper Big Daddy Kane’s character Father Time soon posing as Ku Klux Klan member, to rescue his group from trouble. Father Time may have got this scene from another famous film from the…

    The Boy In The Striped Pajamas Film Analysis

    At the beginning of the movie, Bruno is completely naive about Germany patriotism. It has the audience curious because Bruno live in Berlin where is known as the capital of Nazi Germany. He at first thought the concentration camp as a farm where he could possibly meet his potential playmate. It is surprising when Bruno is unaware of the Nazi’s propaganda against the Jews. Assumingly, Bruno and Gretel are going to a public school where Nazis ideology was educated in the early age. Even with an overprotective mother, Elsa, Little Bruno must have seen the inequality in Berlin such as benches at the park labeled as “Aryans only” and the Jews being rejected from using streetcars in Berlin. As a German boy, Bruno must have witness the scene of “der Führe”, the leader, passing the city with their expensive car. However, it is the opposite with Bruno, instead of acknowledging the Nazi activities, he is utterly impractical about what is happening in Germany during the 1940s like the children today.…

    Amistad Film Analysis

    Amistad, directed by Steven Spielberg, displays the fierce determination of 53 African abductees and their compelling desire to return home. Led by Cinqué (or Sengbe), a man longing to see his wife and son in Sierra Leone again, the men aboard the ship La Amistad rebelled against the Spanish slave traders who guarded them from escape. Using sugar cane knives stolen from cargo aboard the ship, the Africans defeated the gun-wielding Spaniards. With ambitions of returning to West Africa, they eventually ended up off the coast of Long Island instead of the initial destination, a Cuban port. Even as the native Africans adjusted to an entirely different life in America, their African identity still remained apparent throughout the film.…

    In the documentary, When Billy Broke His Head (2016), we got to see into the lives of individuals who suffer from various disabilities. However, it didn’t seem to matter whether these individuals had a physical disability or a mental disability, they all seem to described the same struggles of, being denied services, difficulties finding a job (for those who are able to work), and having to fill out form annually, if they wanted to remain on disability through the government. The only problem with these forms are that some disabled people are not even able to see the forms, let alone read them and fill them out.…

    Tuttle High School Movie Analysis

    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…

    Movie Analysis: A Bronx Tale

    The movie "A Bronx Tale" is obviously set in the Bronx and sets a young man Calogero Anello, "C" against the trials and tribulations of growing up incorruptible, in a neighborhood of mob crime and wayward minors. The movie holds characters that fit delinquency terms such as chronic offenders, and characters that fit theories such as the choice theory. Calogero at the end of the movie seems to have an identity crisis as mentioned by Erikson in his theory. Also characters show signs of being latent delinquents, and some characters seem to attribute their actions to the social learning theory. The movie as a whole is a great sign to see the varying degrees of delinquency especially in urban communities. I think the movie also gives people…

    A movie like Fences only comes once in a great while. It is sort of an unconventional movie, unlike most. It is filmed almost as though it is a play, which is exactly how this film got its origins. Written by August Wilson in 1985, Fences started off as a Broadway play that ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama in 1987. This drama focuses on exploring the African-American experience and looks deep into the heart of race relations.…

    I choose Forrest Gump as a historical movie. The movie was about a young man with a mental disability that goes through this major event in the 1960 – 1970s not only that but it was kind of romantic. Though out the entire movie, Forrest seems to be going along with the time line in his life looking for his first true love Jenny. Mean while she is living it out as a hippie tagging along with the wrong crowd and as for Forrest he maintains hope that one day she will love him. Not only that but the events that he lived in leads him to become a war hero and a billionaire. In the end he realize that life keeps on going as a “destiny or floating alike a breeze”.…

    Movie Moneyball review and relationship with motivation theories

    The movie “Moneyball” based on true story of the General Manager of the Oakland A’s, Billy Beane who decided to challenge the conventional wisdom in the professional baseball which selection and purchasing of players should rely on their performance rather than public perception of a player. Together with a Yale graduate, Beane looked at data on actual performance, not public opinion which real possibilities emerged for players that had been overlooked and underpaid. Beane exchanged some of his highly paid players with undervalued new ones, and began to win the record for the most successive wins in baseball. All the reason why he was willing to rethink the system of rewards, based not on tradition, but on math and hidden performance of the players which is basically relied on motivation of the undervalued players.…
