Natalie ****** ??? I've heard her say her last name a thousand times and still have no clue what she's saying. Natalie Durant? Natalie Da-red?
@@dicktrickle741 her nickname is Natalie the Red!
I agree ladies--It IS the best baseball movie ever. Great cast, to me still Liotta's best work, in spite of Goodfellas. My research of the case against Shoeless Joe...Flaky and would've probably been tossed nowadays, appears to me he knew nothing ,merely a case of guilt by association. And Mann was right..Iowa loves minor league baseball...Not only would people drive miles to watch good old-fashioned games, you can also rent it to MLB teams for spring training and make more $$! Loved watching Burt Lancaster (Doc Gramm) give us one more final taste of his greatness--old smoothie was charming to the end.
It would be hard to watch that ending and not cry. I lost my mom to stage 4 a couple of years ago and I would build ten baseball fields if I could hug her one more time.
When he says "Hey Dad, you wanna have a catch?" I'm losing it every time.
We get it!!
For sure, every time... I still take one of my dads catchers mitts to spring training games with me...
Yup same.
It's always bothered me that he says "have (a) catch" rather than "play catch".. Still gets me though. I think about my dad, and my boys, and the grandsons.
Doc walking off the field gets me more than the Dad scene.
“I think they want to make grown men cry”
It worked. This is most men’s kryptonite.
'Moonlight' Graham was a real player.The old fellas in the bar talking about 'Doc' Graham were people who really knew him and the stories about the blue hat's etc were all true.
One of my favorite parts was when young Doc Graham, as Archie, gets to bat. He didn't get a hit, but he did drive in a run. When he goes back to the bench he turns and smiles at Ray, and Ray nods his head and smiles back at Archie. No words are spoken, but you know that what's really happening is that Doc Graham is thanking Ray for making his dream come true, and Ray is saying "you're welcome". This is quality filmmaking at its finest!
The old fellas were actors telling real people's stories.
I'm a 49 year old man and it gets me every time. I think anyone who has unresolved issues or regrets with a parent or a child it really hits home.
Even if you don’t it’s just a beautiful end, but I’m sure that’s true!
I don't have any unresolved issues with my father and this film ALWAYS brings out the tears when Ray asks his Dad for a catch.
@@ChrisReise I don't have any unresolved issues with my father either. It's just nice to have a catch with your dad. This is why baseball is awesome for us guys. I have a son about to turn 23. We don't have a baseball connection...we have a similar interest in music.
I’m 63 and it turns me into a blubbering mess.
Thank God I Patched Things Up With My Father 🧑🏻 Before It Was Too Late!
My Father 🧑🏻 Passed Away In 2010.
And The Part Where Kevin Costner's Character Says "Do You Want To Play Catch? Dad?"
I Am Crying 🥺😢😭 Like A Baby!
So I 🤔 Cannot Imagine How Men That Carried A Grudge Against Their Father 🧑🏻 Could Get Through That Ending!
Love You , Dad!
The players are dressed as they were as young men, decades previously. This movie makes grown men cry. I do, every time ;-)
There is some powerful emotions in it!
For me its the Moonlight Graham part. Gets me every time.
James Horner was 100 percent ROBBED at the Oscars when he did not win for the music in this movie. That man writes music that hits people right in the heart, and he was ROBBED! 😁
@@ryangrissom1948 Me too.
Having grown up in a baseball family this is the ultimate childhood fantasy - being able to play catch with your father when you were about same age. No man can get through that ending - "Hey Dad, want to have a catch?" - without that strong, heartfelt emotion. Maybe this is heaven.
My dad was my absolute hero in life. He has been gone for 30 years now and I would gladly give 10 years off of my own life just for the chance to play catch and talk with him one more time.
Yep, I'm a grown man and this movie makes me cry every time.
Understandable!
It's one of my favorite movies. People say the movie is about baseball when, in fact, it's about fathers and sons. ❤
like all us older guys... when we first saw this movie... we got to be with our dads once again.... #beautiful #magic 😍😍
Any Man who grew up watching Baseball, as I did, and sharing the experience with his Dad, will be moved to tears, by the final scene between Ray & John. I am now 73 years old & went to Ebbits Field with my Dad & my Brother, the last year that the Dodgers played in Brooklyn. That was when Baseball was the ''National Pastime''. Now Football has taken that mantle. However, Men, of my generation, will always feel as though Baseball is an emotional connection to our youth. Great reaction Ladies.
Thank you and thanks for sharing!! 💚
Football may be americas passion but it is never Americas Pastime.
yea I would love to see brian's song reacted to. It was an abc tv film and James Caan & young BillY dee Williams were soo great in that film. Probably one of the greatest music scores for a tv film also by michele Le Grand if im spellng it correctly.
@@LeighMet Exactly.
My wife and I saw this in 1989. We loved it and I still love it today. It's a movie about love, family, and yes dreams. Even when dreams don't work out, baseball can help you find your way. When Archie Graham steps across the foul line and turns into Doc Graham, it still gets me. Every time. I give Field of Dreams five out of five. And I did play catch with my Dad.😎
Great reaction to an awesome movie, Michelle and Natalie. Btw, one of the most moving aspects of this movie is that the elderly actor who played 'Moonlight Archie Graham' was Hollywood great, Burt Lancaster. This movie was his final role before he died. So, towards the end when Ray Liotta's character (Shoeless Joe Jackson) told him, "Hey, Rookie....you were good.", it was basically an on-camera Hollywood farewell, paying homage and respect to an acting legend in his final role.
Did you realize that old Doc Graham was played by the legendary actor Burt Lancaster? He had a huge career that spanned decades and this was his last role. What a great movie to exit on.
Every time, this movie brings me to tears. My dad was a disabled Vietnam Vet and an alcoholic, but I was very close to him. When he passed in 2006, I had to block out all my emotions and be strong for my whole family. Even though it was tearing me up inside, I had to be the strong one. Now that he is gone, this movie hits so hard, and I absolutely ugly cry. Id give anything, even my own life to have one more day with my dad. This movie is so special to me.
I was in radio (WDBQ) while this was being filmed and was lucky enough to be an extra in the gymnasium scene!!! I met all the actors and spent two whole days involved in a film featuring America's sport...Baseball!! Thank God!!😍👮♂
Awesome!!
The voice wasn’t god. It was his internal voice. For two reasons. First Ray says to Shoeless Joe “it was you.” And Joe responds “no Ray, it was you.” Second, there was an Easter egg in the credits. Under the credits it lists “the voice” and “himself” as the credited actor. Another thing is that this movie was about people’s wishes and getting the chance to go back and resolve issues. In Ray’s unknown attempt to resolve his own issues, he helps others along the way. The doc, the black Sox players, Terrence Mann… another good piece of info that is sad. The doc was played by the late great actor Burt Lancaster. This was his last role and he died before the movie was released in the theaters and in my opinion was one of his best roles ever. Symbolically when he walks into the cornfield, his journey ends which actually occurred in real life which makes me tear up more. There is a joke in Hollywood that this is the man’s version of the Notebook because of the amount of grown men who cried seeing this movie. Another sad bit of info, Ray Liotta never saw the film. I saw an interview of him just before he died in which he was asked about his thoughts when he watched it and he said that he never did.
The man’s Notebook may be a good way of explaining it!
I think I saw an interview with Liotta where he said he didn’t watch any of his own films. A lot of actors are like that, from what I hear.
In some ways Field of Dreams is like a more modern version of It's A Wonderful Life, with Ray taking on some of the George Bailey qualities. Ray is helping make other people's dreams come true by giving them second chances for redemption, for Shoeless Joe and the other players who were banned, for Doc Graham, he helps Terry Mann rediscover his passion for writing, too. At the end of the movie Ray finds out that if you spend your life helping others, maybe that has a way of coming back around to helping you, too.
I wasn’t trying to compare and contrast to another movie. When I said that it’s like a man’s version and f the Notebook meant the movie made men universally cry. I work in the industry. I’ve heard in acting schools that there was a joke that men aren’t supposed to cry, unless it’s for field of dreams. There are jokes on How I Met Your mother about the film. They’re pretty funny. Type in how I met your mother field of dreams and watch the compilation videos. They’re funny.
If it was his internal voice, how did Terence hear it?
Yeah, this movie makes this grown man cry. I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but this movie's subject matter always gets me. They built a stadium about 100 yards away from the Field of Dreams they used in this movie and played an MLB game in Aug 2021. It was a really cool moment.. Same teams played a game in Iowa and they entered the field through the cornfield from center field like they did in the movie. Kevin Costner also played in another movie called, "Bull Durham" as a catcher and he was in even another baseball movie where he was a pitcher called, "For Love of the Game." Even another sports movie is "Tin Cup" about golf. He's been in a lot of sports movies lol
I'm from England, I don't play baseball or watch it but its universal themes calls out to me and yes I tear up every time, it is the movie that makes tough grown men cry. Phil Alden Robinson, who wrote and directed it tells a story, that a female producer where he worked said I've just finished this book, you should read it. Phil asked what's it about? She said, about a farmer who ploughs up his crop when he hears a voice. Phil said, not for me thanks. She gently insisted, take the book home. Phil did, put it to one side, about 10.30 he picked it up and read it straight through and thought I have to make a movie from this. He did....I guess it's about second chances, about having faith in your instincts and following your dreams when everyone else thinks your crazy, lots of people have a vision no one else can see until you make it possible, now they see it......"We just don't recognize life's most significant moments while they're happening. Back then I thought, "Well, there'll be other days." I didn't realize that that was the only day." Doc 'Moonlight' Graeme, played by the great Burt Lancaster who passed soon after and when the baseball players say goodbye to him it's not just to his character, it's personal.... thank you.
Great analysis of the themes! Thank you!
Saw this back on the big screen some years back for its anniversary. 99% men in the full theater, 100% were in tears by the end.
This movie has made more grown men cry than any other movie in Hollywood history. They'll never admit it, but it's the truth.
I am a grown ass man, and I watch this movie every spring (along with Ken Burns Baseball documentary, and a few other baseball movies) and the ending still has me tearing up.
Good catch on the random Marilyn Monroe portrait. Most miss that. However, it's not random. Ray and Annie were established as Berkeley liberal graduates of the 60s, and that's an Andy Warhol painting, which encapsulates their ideology... which for Annie, in particular, is an important character trait. Ties in with their love for Terrance Mann's literature. And it ties in with their spiritual open-mindness to all the majestic moments they experience.
I'm from England where baseball is non existent. But dang, this movie gets me every time. With the doc and then the catch with dad 😅
Right! On the surface, it’s a baseball movie, to which not everyone relates, but scratch a little and you’ll see it’s about much more than the game!
@@Divamarja_CA Yes ma'am. My thoughts 💯
I have seen this movie over and over and I still cry at the end. Living only 45 minutes from the site, I have taken each of my kids to the field to "have a catch". All 5 of my boys have been to the field. The field is different now and too comercialized. The field was actually built on 2 different farmer's fields and one farmer had a concession stand on one side, and the other farmer had a concession on the other side. It is now all owned by an investment firm.
I have seen this movie a bunch of times, and have seen reactions to it a bunch more. Every single time, I get a happy tear at the end - it's timeless and I dont think it will ever get old. Thank you, you two, for doing this!
Thanks for watching!
My wife and I stood on that field last year and walked through the corn fields. Played catch with some guy that was there sitting on the bleachers. My all-time favorite movie. The place is magical. I was like a kid in a candy store!
One of the most important things in a young males life is the approval and blessing of his father. I've seen successful adult men in their 60's break down talking about how they never got their fathers approval. I was blessed with a great dad, who I played baseball with, and yes I tear up every time he says "Dad want to have a catch." What I wouldn't give even as an old man now to have one more catch with my dad.
I've said this before. This movie and Brian's Song are the only movies a grown man is allowed to cry at while watching them.
💯
Band of Brothers, Episode 10. Just saying.Here in Ephrata, Dick Winters' birthplace, gravesite and memorial.
The ending of LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING and the end of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN make us cry too.
(and the end of RUDY)
I've only seen one reaction to Brian's Song. Shame. Wish more would take it on. Maybe a copyright thing?
one of cinema's great unscripted moments. when costner says "see if you can hit my curve", the script called for a home run, but when ray liotta ( as a right-handed joe jackson) drilled it right back up the middle and costner did his stumble out of the way move, it was too perfect, so they left it in.
Baseball is so Americana that it hits closer to home (literally) for us too.
💯🇺🇸
Such a classic! Loved the reaction, as always!! I've been to the actual field, and you can feel the magic! Much love!!!
I am 68 years old and the end always makes me cry (the only other movie that does this is "The Green Mile"). To anyone has lost their Father this movie brings up things that were not resolved (Said or done) before their passing after it is too late.
I don't know anything about baseball but it's one of my favourite movies.
I saw this movie in the theater back in 1989 when it came out. I've watched it multiple times over the years, and it's probably in my top 10 all time favorite movies. And even though I know what's coming, I still get choked up every time.
Fun Fact: We all know that Kevin Costner played a character named Ray KINSELLA, but did you notice in the credits that the movie was based on Canadian novelist W. P. KINSELLA'S 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe".
It’s a Wonderful Life, Gladiator and This movie, good teary movies y’all have watched, thanks again!
All excellent movies!
I've seen this movie 20 times and cried 20 times.❤❤❤
It’s dang good!
Actually, the end is my favorite part. I'm glad you kept that. I love that movie. Gets me everytime.
I recommend ‘Brian’s Song’ as one to watch. It is another sports movie and will touch you just like this one did. Great video!!
Oh gosh that movie made me cry as a girl! Thank you!!
I remember seeing this in the theater in the Spring of '89. I enjoyed it and found it to be a touching & entertaining flick and I was fine during the ending scene. Late in the following year, my dad passed. I next saw this movie again in '97 (or maybe '98?), and well. . . in the words of Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that."
I never cried at the end until after I lost my Dad. Now it hits me like a ton of bricks.
I'm a grown man...I have seen this movie dozens of times...and I still cry every time.
Totally got me, yes. To this day, I can't hold it together when I watch this. The moment Shoeless Joe says to Ray, "if you build it... he will come." I cry like a baby. Every time. Without fail.
Yes, I choked up when Ray finally calls him "Dad". There are so many men who wish they had a chance to say to their father what they should have.
Good reaction ladies.
Thank you!
Every grown man cries at this movie. That was the entire goal. I bawled like a baby in the theater when it came out. I love watching reactions to this one.
I can watch the movie or a reaction and it still gets me every single time. Just a beautifully written and acted film. And yes, the brilliant score pushes the emotions perfectly.
Yes it for sure get all us guys..i cant watch it without tearing up at the end..I saw it when it originally came out in the theater. i always think about my dad when seeing it, about how long day at work he'd come home, throw fly balls and grounders for me to practice, be at all my games and etc..
James Earl Jones also portrayed a baseball player in 1976's "The Bingo Long Travelling All-Stars & Motor Kings" which also starred Richard Pryor and a certain Mr Billy Dee Williams as "Bingo Long". Darth Vader and Lando Calrissian on the same team, how could they lose!
I've seen it so many times but I'm still crying when I watch it
Great reaction ladies! 'They wanted to make grown men cry' - well they succeeded! I can't keep a dry eye with this movie - both Doc's 'sacrifice' and Ray calling out to his dad break me, every time since seeing this first in 1989 (I was 11 at the time) - now 45, and it still gets me! I probably watch this once a year.
I love the magic of this movie. Acting, dialogue, music, pacing - it's all perfection. And as much as it's a 'baseball' movie - baseball actually takes a back seat to the main story. Family, regret, relationships...that's the main focus. Cheers!
Thank you!
This movie did make Grown Men Cry. Everytime they watch.
This movie gets me every time. Baseball is just the frame for exploring the relationship between sons and fathers. My father died suddenly when I was 21, and away at uni, and I never had a chance to really enjoy an adult relationship, about life, with him. That's why this movie gets me every time. Ray has a chance to learn about his father all over again through a mature set of eyes.
Very sorry for you loss. Unexpected deaths are very difficult 💚
"If you build it, he will come."
Fun Fact: Although his character delivers the movie's signature speech praising baseball, in real life James Earl Jones hates baseball. Despite this, he would play another baseball enthusiast four years later in The Sandlot (1993).
Location Location Fact: After the filming was completed, the family that owned the farm kept the field and added a small hut with inexpensive souvenirs for sale. Visitors are (as far as I know) free to come to the field and play baseball as they please between April and November.
Baseball Camp Fact: Ray Liotta had no baseball experience and batted right-handed, although "Shoeless" Joe Jackson was a lefty. Phil Alden Robinson allowed Liotta to bat with his right, but still put him through several weeks of extensive training with University of Southern California baseball coach and former Brooklyn Dodger Rod Dedeaux in order to be convincing as one of the sport's greatest hitters. Liotta eventually developed a good swing. The scene where he hits a line-drive straight back at Kevin Costner actually happened. Costner's fall on the mound was real, and although it was a surprise, he stayed in character.
Thanks!
You're welcome! I hope that you had a great Easter! 🐇 🍫 🐣
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
As you've read already, Kevin Costner is a HUGE Baseball fan. And this is not his only Baseball movie. Before Field Of Dreams and For Love of The Game, Costner appeared in Bull Durham, the MOST accurate baseball movie made. Costner's role was actually written for Kurt Russell, himself a former minor league player. Russell's father owned a few minor league teams, some partially and some outright. Tom Selleck, himself a devout Baseball fan, also starred in a baseball movie, Mr. Baseball. You'll recognize one particular actor from FoD and The Sandlot. Clue: it ain't James Earl Jones.
Seeing it as a child I didn’t even recognize how it would hit me as an adult. Now that my old man has passed it hits harder. You can go visit the field, which I highly recommend. It was the last place we ever played ball. I treasure that memory.
I think a lot of people have tears well up watching this movie. It definitely gets you in the feels! If you try to explain the story to someone who hasn't seen it, it sounds crazy! It's a very touching story delivered wonderfully, with great acting and writing.
Agreed!
That's the real call out! Men are more " sentimental" than women, it just, to me, represents ALL humans need for family and closure!
Great baseball movie! I enjoyed the reaction!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! 😊
This movie came out when I was 19. It made me cry then, and it still gets me 35 years later. EVERY time!!
I think this movie gets just about everyone emotionally -- does't matter if you like baseball or even know much about baseball. (The best sports movies are never really about sports.) If someone just described the plot, you'd probably say "that's a really dopey story that would never work as a movie" --- and then you watch it and it gets you. That's the magic of this film.
I've watched this movie and reactions to it many times. I'm 66 years old and my Dad died 10 years ago. The end of this movie makes me realize he's gone and brings back great memories, so, yes, it still gets me every time I see it. My goal is to take a motorcycle trip this summer and visit the Field of Dreams movie site. I'm sure being there will get to me also.
Hope you take the trip!
The movie that really put James Earl Jones on the map was “The Great White Hope”. There are tons of other non-Darth Vader roles he played. Yes I would agree that “charismatic” is a good word for him. Bonus recommendation: his father Robert Earl Jones plays a key role in the best picture Oscar winner “The Sting”.
Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame!
Movie makes me cry every time. Even watching your reaction got me.
Wonderful reaction to a wonderfully emotional movie.
I saw this on video soon after it came out when I was 21, and it hit me hard even then. I lost my dad two years ago and it hits even harder now, even though we were on good terms and communicating fairly regularly. But it still hits hard.
Dwier Brown, who played John Kinsella, Ray's dad, wrote a book called "If You Build It..." which is part reflections on this movie and the conversations he had with fans of the movie talking about how the movie affected them. He also comments on how it affected his own relationship with his dad. It is an excellent book.
My maternal grandfather was born in 1897. He was ineligible for being drafted for WWI because he had missed an entire year of high school fighting tuberculosis, and when he graduated he began a somewhat wanderlust period of his life. Among other things he did he spent a couple of years playing baseball for town teams, like the ones young Archie described in the movie. He also joined a small traveling circus for a while too where, among other things, he was a juggler. My mom still has a set of three wooden juggling pins that are a hundred years old that were his from his circus days.
Grandaddy was 71 when I was born (my mom, his first child, was born when he was 46) and even into his late eighties he'd walk their dog up the very steep street that climbed the ridge they lived at the base of and then 3 to 5 miles along the trails on top of the ridge. I remember being sixteen one time when we were walking the dog. I was young and in good shape and I was huffing and puffing my way up the hill. Granddaddy had always been built like a jockey and was probably only about 5'5" then at 87 years old and he wasn't even breathing hard. He was telling me stories about the circus and juggling when he stopped, picked up three larger pieces of gravel off of the roadside, and then started to juggle them while walking up this steep hill and looking at me as he talked. He juggled for a few minutes then caught the stones and dropped them back by the side of the road. If I'm lucky I can juggle one thing. 😀 Grandaddy was amazing. 😛
I still have my dad's dad's glove from when he was a teen, and it looks a lot like Shoeless Joe's did. It's probably from the mid-late 1920s so it's around a hundred years old too. I still pull it on at times and just think about how it feels to have this glove and daydream for a moment about granddad using it in neighborhood or schoolyard games. It's still pretty flexible too and in good condition. 🙂
I saw this when it first came out, about a year after I got out of the USAF. I went back to one of my bases for a reunion party. I saw it at a theater outside the base. It was back in the mid 80s when the services were 90% guys, SO the theater was full of men. When it was over NOBODY got up. I saw dozens of guys get up with red eyes about 5-10 minutes later.
I'm a combat vet and I have been accused of being a hard and cold man but every time I see this I get tears in my eyes . Thank you for this and God bless you both.
God bless you too! Thank you for your service! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
One flaw in this movie is that everyone is convinced that Ray will go broke by not growing corn and building a Baseball field. A Baseball field takes up about 4+ acres, an acre of corn is worth about $150. So that's only giving up $600 in profit. Yes, the field , lights, etc. would cost money but not really enough to lose the farm.
I've seen this movie many times and that ending gets me every time!
Kevin Costner did 2 baseball movies back to back in the late 80s with Bull Durham and this,I was too young to watch BD at the time but I still did😂. I was surprised this was so wholesome at the time(I didn’t understand that actors could do more than one genre at that age). Both great movies but this one is probably the better of the two. 36 seemed so old back then and I’m now almost 10 years older than that😬
Men are not allowed to cry at movies, Field of Dreams is the only exception
I watch this movie whenever it is on and the end always gets me
Always loved this movie along with The Natural. I also always wanted to see a sequel where Terrance Mann tells us "whats out there"!
Costner in this and Dancing with Wolves was two of the best movies he ever made.
Drink.....drink......blink, blink, blink....and then the dam bursts! It happens to me every time!
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned, but a fun factoid is that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, then relatively unknown, were among the thousands of extras in the Fenway Park scene.
It was magic. Saw it in theater as teen, w/brothers & friends. Baseball, still the national game, was a Language we all spoke. What Doc said abt the feel of the game. ALL knew the numbers 61, 56, 2180, Ted Williams the last .400 hitter in '41. The stories, it was American history. It was pure, pure Magic.
Great point about movies not being made like that today. Along those lines, there are two other sports movies that are about integrity and redemption that you guys and almost no one else has done. I keep asking reactors to do them, but only a handful have. One is "The Natural, a baseball movie, and the other is "Hoosiers," a basketball movie. I pretty much don't care for sports movies per se, but these movies tug at the heart and soul.
Hits me every time and I'm in my 60's, no matter how many times I see this movie. It's written so well, they don't seem to write them like this, as you said. If you haven't seen it, Message In A Bottle (1999) with Kevin Costner, Robin Wright and Paul Newman is a good one, in my opinion. LOVE your reactions, you ladies are awesome. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
Thank you!! ☺️
You mentioned the music, the soundtrack is brilliant and you find yourself linking it to the parts of the film. It's up there alongside The Blues Brothers and Young Einstein soundtrack.
Natalie, it's Art LeFleur. The little girl is Gaby Hoffmann, also in Sleepless in Seattle and later Volcano.
He played, "Babe Ruth" who for his time was a legend!
The little girl stared in Uncle Buck, Sleepless in Seattle and many more. Her name is Gabby Hoffman
Just found your channel. This is one of my favorites of all time. I weep every time! If you haven’t watched “Miracle” about the 1980 Olympic Hockey team, you’ll love it… also an oldie, “Brian’s Song” - a classic - James Caan’s and Billy Dee Williams’ first big roles…
James Earl Jones is one of my favorite actors. Imagine my surprise, attending my little sisters graduation, and seeing a class photo, of James Earl Jones hanging on the wall. Brethren was, and still is a tiny town in Michigan, having a population of around 325 people.
The last scene gets me every time and i love this movie.
I showed this movie at the movie theater I worked at in HS when this came out. I cried every time we showed it then, and I still cry every time I watch it now. It's a very special movie. It's a magical movie. And one that will always hold a special place in my heart.
Doc Grahame was played by Burt Lancaster. The first person in the world to do a triple somersault on the Trapeze.
The quote is and always has been "If you build it HE will come" It has often been misquoted. One of the best performances, IMHO, was by Burt Lancaster in his last role before his passing - as Doc "Moonlight" Graham who was an actual character and the newspaper articles they were reading in the library were the actual newspaper accounts of the actual Doc Graham.
"You let us know if it gotcha." LOL - the line "Wanna have a catch?" has been making grown men cry for 35 years.
Where did Terence Mann (Jones) go? That is for YOU to decide. I love when movies eave things up to our imagination.
My dad loved baseball but died when I was quite young. Intellectually I know he loved me, but I will never feel it. This movie is a proxy for my feelings towards my father, that game of catch, I never had or was too young to remember.
If heaven exists, having a catch with my dad is how I hope my first day will go.
Heaven does exist ☺️
Every year for a while now they do a real life Field of Dreams game in the MLB. Where the players walk out for the field. Very cool thing to see.
I love how you two were laughing even when it made you tear up, not taking it too seriously like some people 😂
Thank you! We usually have a couple that makes mad 😂
I have seen that ending well over 100 times, and I still shed a few tears every time.
32:00 And as he walked into the field, it was the last Hollywood will see of the legendary Burt Lancaster. And he was good.
This "taver" reminds me of a place I like to stop into! It's 100 yrs old this yr, '24, some things are classic!
Its a beautiful Film, they dont make em like this anymore, very original. So glad u girls finally watched this classic.
💯
It most Definitely has a Mystical Ethereal Energy that is Timeless, like Baseball, always Being a Force of Light
