Moneyball

Such a deeply American movie. Makes me feel so patriotic, not because America is perfect, but for how this movie exposes the flaws of American values. Billy Beane's unrelenting stubbornness to make his Moneyball theory work is just so damn admirable. That is what America is all about. Chasing dreams to the very end because hell, it just might work. If you are delusional enough to believe in your dreams, you can be an American, and I find that so fucking beautiful. How can you not be romantic about that? In other words, I really just think this movie awakened my Obama era nostalgia, and I feel an aching longing to have it be 2011 again.
