Chapman and Maclain Way’s energetic telling of one of baseball’s great, unheralded stories is as much about independent spirit as it is about the game. When Portland, Oregon, lost its longtime minor-league affiliate, Bing Russell—who briefly played ball professionally before enjoying a successful Hollywood acting career—bought the territory and formed a single-A team to operate outside the confines of major-league baseball. When they took the field in 1973, the Mavericks—the only independent team in America—started with two strikes against them. What did Deputy Clem from Bonanza know about baseball? Or Portland, for that matter? The only thing uniting his players, recruited at open tryouts, was that no other team wanted them. Skeptics agreed that it could never work.
But Bing understood a ballplayer’s dreams, and he understood an audience. His quirky, unkempt castoffs won games, and they won fans, shattering minor-league attendance records. Their spirit was contagious, and during their short reign, the Mavericks—a restaurant owner turned manager, left-handed catcher, and blackballed pitcher among them—brought independence back to baseball and embodied what it was all about: the love of the game.

有没有人能把现在的我敲晕，我也想昏迷20年看看这b疫情能不能结束😑
算是今年上半年看到的最感人的福音电影了吧，没想到是传记类电影
219th 一切都过于美好，不真实地像个童话，但是悲惨绝望的现实中确实需要这种轻松的片子图一乐。不过千禧年代都到了被致敬回忆的时刻，竟然都没人记得曾经分庭抗礼的Christina Aguilera了。
很好的天主教宣传片，我居然看出点励志的感觉。但我依然不信上帝…
看到旺仔小王子的标记，我速速来看。他们拍电影的时候应该很开心吧，那就够了，rebel wilson瘦身后是辣妹。
马克终于不再拍一些无脑商业大片了，总是有个好的转型开始了，从他的剧中体型变化也能看出来，应该是下了不少功夫，希望越来也好，这个电影的原型斯图尔特．朗好强，真的男人，一生不屈服，进行抗争.......
中国主旋律，不行！
i tended not to focus on the assumed smart alec itself as the main theme but immersing on the SOMETIMES uniquely chanted film language...
希望不是战术。行动才是。
Such a cliché. But chick flick is always good to kill time. 两星打给Alicia.
无脑但有趣，男主小时候还挺好看，长大怎么就变成胖大叔。
节奏拖沓，储备物资能熬过800多天有点不信。
不错的电影，虽然属于传记片，但是故事还是比较简单的，一个不良少年，一个支离破碎的家，一身毛病，天天打架的人，为了追求女孩，加入天主教，最后成为一个虔诚的神父。导演通过很多喜剧元素加入到一个其实挺沉重挺严肃的电影中，让这样的传记片电影不在沉闷。同时让整部电影都形成对应和对比。混混变神父，喜剧对应严肃的宗教。开始小孩轻盈的舞蹈对应最后主人翁肌肉萎缩，生活不能自理。导演利用前后对应的关系，让整部电影更完整更充实。看完会轻轻感叹，之前每个镜头都有她的用意。
2星半吧。剧情一般般。没什么引人入胜的。雪景不错。明明有两个人可以一直聊天 陪伴。居然还会有幻想。
不够有吸引力，主角和那种极端恶劣环境的对抗不够，内心的幻象和最后的现实重合又太夸张。

剧情紧凑，衔接的挺好，剧情也挺好的演员演技不错，可以带入
-Man don’t lose when he gets knocked down, but when he won’t get up.
熬过无聊枯燥的前40分钟，斯图神父的故事开始了不一样的转折，信仰和人生面对困境的抉择都有借鉴意义
