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.

老爷子的电影看着就是舒服，可惜男孩的演技太差了，严重拖后腿
东木老矣，91岁的高龄抬着颤抖的双手，迈着蹒跚的脚步支撑起摇晃的身躯，完成了一部老男人的YY片，很不容易了！同龄人中能活着不尿床的也没几个啦~~鼓励一下啦，老爷子消停点啦
至2014年泽西男孩之后 ，媒体普遍认为老爷子会彻底隐退 ，告别影坛 。紧接着又拍了萨利机长和骡子高评分作品 。虽然紧随而来又拍了几部稍显平淡作品 ，但对老爷子的敬意与日俱增 ，对生命只有一次做了最佳的诠释 ！
90多岁的老爷爷还在拍片，导演加主演...走路也很辛苦啊...
老爷子演技不错 剧情节奏太拖沓了 不如预期的好看
老爷子的内心很柔软，所以一切的呈现都是偏温柔的童话的美好的，视觉上倒让那只活力的公鸡抢足了戏。
老人、孩子与鸡。一场乘着夕阳之光而行进的公路电影。东木年事已高，在他的创作中已十分明显，有着一种不愿面对纷杂纠葛的慈悲与和蔼。
岁月不饶人，东木真的老了！故事本身就是老套的剧情，还有点西部情怀的成分！越看越少的东木电影！
老了，真的老了。最早看的一部他的片子是火线狙击。
我本以为车坏了，男孩学会了骑马，他们会一起骑马回家，结果镜头一转却是将坏掉的车修好再上路，那安排男孩学骑马这个情节就失去了意义。
就我一个人注意到了开头东木年轻时骑着马的那张照片其实是他儿子斯科特吗😂😂😂
★演技4剧情4逻辑4制作4丨8/10 Clint 91了,opening music"Find A New Home",可能会是clint最后一部电影了
老爷子那皮鞋真的帅 愿我老了也像老爷子一样飒
09.23.21 Respect, Eastwood in his 90s, make me think of the the former Cap America. Whole life macho, serene eternity is all that cry for.
牛仔大爷太老了，他刚一出场我都不相信自己的眼睛，全片充满了烈士暮年的感觉，也象征着牛仔精神的没落。
怎么变成糖水片了，故事编得也太敷衍。难道老了之后就会变成这样吗，返璞归真一片祥和，电影内外的情节发展构成互文了。
看完之后莫名特别悲伤，这可能是老爷子的倒数第二部电影了
上次送毒品，这次送孩子！哪里跌倒就在哪里躺平，爱情不是物质的堆积，是心灵与生活细节的偎依
这无疑是老爷子的谢幕之作，等于说是一部西部版“完美的世界”。从上个世纪炙手可热的好莱坞巨星，再到独具一格的电影巨匠，东木老爷子经历了太多坎坷，其中最艰难的是和好莱坞的右派势力斗争，可现在电影里，他呈现的是迟暮和衰老，或许他真的应该休息了。
我相信，暮年的东方木之于电影，正如乔丹之于篮球一样，只是单纯地喜欢，不为名，不为利。
