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.

片名拗口扣一星，要我说就叫《善解人衣》吧。
无论怎样还是重拾美好
话剧式的大段台词让我总觉得在看nt live ，那些情欲，那些冲突，那些唠叨，那些漫不经心，一切都让人微醺，最后彻底断片，午夜梦回时，你又会想起，然后仿佛昨日重现，终究在早上九点的人海里消失不见。
看前二十分钟: 不会就是单一场景吧... 最后十分钟: ok!! 最make sense和empowering的全裸镜头 以及男主也实在是太帅了
Emma, you are a great actress. And Leo, I hope we will meet each other somewhere someday.
Emma Thompson太迷人了 腹肌电眼翘臀的年轻男孩固然可口 但有趣又有型 每道岁月痕迹, 每个眼波流转都能瞬间传递万千情绪的global treasure才是无可取代
刚好是我的豆瓣#2300 有时候觉得：能和一个人坐着，随便干什么 聊什么，觉得舒服就很好了，很久以来第一次有一个电影精准拍出了这种感觉
整体过于（小成本）工整，话语表达显而易见，但因此总体上轻松适宜
有些让人唏嘘的是女人买鸭都要做五十分钟顾左右而言他的心理建设，而男人可能五分钟就能提裤走人。第一次看到拍的如此干净纯粹的关于性的故事，虽然中间小鸭讲自己与母亲关系时有些老套，但它的确跳出了传统嫖客与妓之间被定义的关系，发展出了一种与肉体有关的友情。
看完后激情推荐给好朋友，虽然我并没有达到解放的程度（看到最后几分钟，还要拉上窗帘，因为和隔壁男生宿舍的窗是相对的），但很开心看到这样的影片，世间还存在里奥这样神奇的男子，即使没有付出行动也能明白身体愉悦会给人带来的巨大改变。

被电影中细腻的情感治愈，又一次在电影中回应性是自己的权力，性可以是情感、记忆、交流，还可以是对自己的疗愈，女性视角下，审视女性被剥夺的权力。
剧本写得挺好，大致循着“坦诚相见”的路数，从非常资本主义的购买fancy幻想，到撕破脸后更authentic的亲密关系，最后的reward就是“真”的orgasm（也是独立的）。细节扎实，跳舞时男主手搭在艾玛脖子上，艾玛的反应和后来的台词是呼应的，这种潜在的连接体现了关系中意识的流动性，然后是创造性，结尾扣回目标颇得曲径通幽之妙，适度的爱让人在亲密中展现尊严，在当下看，会数次分心想怎么不洗手，但或许我们正需要从界限处重新找回亲密感，那种梳毛对梳毛、耳语对耳语的亲密感。
leo的眼睛真的太好看了！那些对话慢慢抽丝剥茧出面具下的两个人。Emma这个真的是登峰造极的表演...啊~pleasure~
Emma Thompson[爱心][爱心]
抛开现实讲，影片里展现出来的真的是高素质、高情商、暖暖的善意和真诚
后边的两次会面，在我看来有点过于把买春这件事理想化了。Thompson一厢情愿地去发掘男妓的真实身份，要和他做朋友，实在荒唐……但也许是符合这个角色，是这个天真的老古板干得出来的？和女服务员的对手戏就让我觉得太over，像过于刻意地喊出个口号。
女主的尝试是新观念向旧观念的挑战,也是人性的觉醒和胜利。性,欲望,衰老,原生家庭,直面自我，剧本精巧。
人物关系真是玩出花了，服务员客户、老师学生、母亲儿子、朋友陌生人，四次招妓从肉体渐入心灵，逐步融化彼此之间的隔膜和各自最在意的心结，假借这些身份的特点和变换，实际完成解放自己、正视性爱、自我和解等大主题的表达和探讨，而且台词太妙了，很有意思
#Sundance2022 Emma Thompson: can't believe this kind of film is only being made in 2022. It was very freeing to work on this film.
