This weekend I went and saw a movie; Moneyball. It is a film about the GM of the Oakland Athletics and how they did not have a lot of money or resources to build a team after a tough year of losing some of there key players.
If you did not know; this is a sports movie about baseball. A sport in which I am not very familiar with at all and do not follow. I really do not have very much interest in the sport and would way rather go and watch golf or curling.
My blog today is not a movie review though, I went into that theatre thinking that I would sit and watch a movie, a movie that I had no expectations or thoughts about at all. Since being at Providence I don't really get to watch a lot of movie trailers since I do not watch a lot of TV, which I'm actually not minding! In any case, I went into the movie theatre with no expectations and I came out amazed! I loved this movie. It is funny how when we don't have any expectations we are usually not disappointed which isn't something that you should do all the time; but in this case it wasn't a bad thing.
I thought it was so amazing how something that you have no idea what it is about or have no idea of the background to can be so amazing and moving. I don't want to ruin the film for you, so I will stop here. But I recommend this movie for anyone; whether you love the game of baseball, or sports, or whatever.
It was really nice to go into something and be so surprised with something!
The highlight of my weekend for sure.
