Madness Mantra | |
| The Babe / int_141a6acb | comment |
Madness Mantra: Twice in the film, while at a really low point, Ruth is shown leaning against a wall and whimpering pitifully, "Never see life through Satan's eyes". | |

| The Babe / int_3bfd638c | comment |
Warts and All: The film does not shy away from Ruth's unhealthy habits, his explosively short temper, and his womanizing. | |

| The Babe / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Ruth ends his baseball career on a high note by defying the men who tried to exploit him, but he never manages a baseball team, and his unhealthy lifestyle leads to his death by throat cancer in 1948. | |

Mathematician's Answer | |
| The Babe / int_54367e5d | comment |
Mathematician's Answer: The titular ballplayer arranges for an adoption because he and his first wife, Helen, have had no luck conceiving a child. He arrives at their home with a nanny holding an infant, and a dazed Helen inquires, "What is it?" She means to ask whether the child is a boy or a girl, but Babe replies incredulously, "A baby". | |

Henpecked Husband | |
| The Babe / int_72852a93 | comment |
Henpecked Husband: Though loving and supportive, Claire keeps her husband under her thumb. This is actually a good thing, as she causes him to dial back on the hedonism and temperamental outbursts. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Babe / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Jack Dunn vanishes not long after Ruth's baseball career experiences a resurgence. Justified, as historically, Dunn passed away in 1928. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance | |
| The Babe / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: The movie ends in a Foregone Conclusion that nonetheless delivers this. As the movie ends on a triumphant, but bittersweet note for the character, a closing narrative is given with the music even more triumphant as it informs the viewer that not only was the Babe never allowed to manage in professional baseball as he dreamed to, he died of throat cancer on August 16, 1948. | |

Off-into-the-Distance Ending: The last shot of the film depicts an utterly broken and exhausted Ruth trudging down the entrance tunnel of the baseball stadium before fading to black and giving an epilogue. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| The Babe / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Brother Matthias Boutlier is only around during Ruth's younger years. In real life, Ruth maintained contact with him during the former's career, even buying him a car after getting rich—and then buying him another one when it crashed. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| The Babe / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Brother Matthias is as stern and intimidating as his job requires him to be, but he still shows concern for the young Ruth and is the first one to recognize his potential for baseball. Jack Dunn, Ruth's manager, is a genuine friend to his client, and ultimately sticks by him even after Ruth's reputation starts going down. | |
