Burt Lancaster's final statuesque pose as the camera zooms in, as if to say: HERE'S GREATNESS. The director made sure the legendary actor had his final moment in the sun before he says good-bye, after an incredible career. One of the last -- maybe the very last -- of the postwar Hollywood leading men.
Agreed, though I believe Jimmy Stewart was the last of the postwar Hollywood leading men. Though he did star in a few things before WW2, most of his acting was after WW2, though some of it doesn't appear on his filmography as those were official military briefing and training films that he did as part of his military service.
@@ruthgar9753 what? jimmy was a huge star pre war.destry rides again little shop on the corner and he won his oscar for the philidelphia story.the only reason he had a break was because he joined up.burt was conversely part of the new wave of leading men after the war along with kirk douglas robert mitchum and richard widmark.stewart was a star pre war they all got their starring roles mainly in noir immediatly after ww2.
So has anyone else ever noticed that they show only one at bat from Doc, and it was a what? Sacrifice fly! Get it...sacrifice...its what Doc was all about!
It's essentially Burt's swan song. His departing line is, 'Win one for me someday, will ya boys', is just note perfect, as he ascends to the cornfield and heaven. We should all want to win one for Lancaster/Doc.
As a father of 3, and a Paramedic of 24 years, the moment Doc Graham freezes at the foul line, and realizes that he has to choose, stay in his dream of heaven, or help a child in need, and he steps across the line to help a child...............I understand this scene and decision so much. It's a beautiful, under appreciated moment in a great film.
Yep. And, I love when Lancaster is about to leave and turns to the fellas to say, 'Win one for me, one day, will ya boys'. And they assure him they will, 'alright, Doc...' What a fantastic film.
When they drive that camera into Burt Lancaster's face and the line is "You were good".....and you realize this was his last on screen appearance. "Son....if I'd only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes, now that would've been a tragedy".
Brilliant writing, Few words that give a powerful message. Ray Liotta was outstanding as Joe And Burt Lancaster showed a subtle genius as the Doc. A few hand movements here and there spoke as good as words as he delivered his lines. Loved him in this film and Local Hero.
RIP Burt Lancaster (November 2, 1913 - October 20, 1994), aged 80 And RIP Ray Liotta (December 18, 1954 - May 26, 2022), aged 67 You both will be remembered as legends.
I took my dad to see this movie when it first came out. I was a young man, just starting out in life, and of course, Dad was an older man, nearing retirement age. I was so moved when Archie stepped onto the gravel, giving up his dreams. And my dad was moved when Ray asked his own father if he wanted to have a catch, because when he was a kid, his dad was the only father in the neighborhood who would have a catch with his son when he got home from work. That's the beauty and the genius of this movie.
It's a version of It's A Wonderful Life except that he had already found himself and came to terms with his baseball career not taking off. He knew what he had and how important it was. Getting that missed opportunity was bonus.
Moonlight Graham gives up his dream to help save the little girl. The look on his face when Ray Liotta says "hey rookie. you were good." gets me every time. if there is a more touching moment in film i haven't seen it.
@@rcslyman8929 Exactly, Doc lived his dream being a doctor, getting that one at bat was just a little cherry on top...a reward from the cosmic baseball Gods to a man who did more for his community by being a doctor than continuing to play minor league ball.
That face is what I wished one actor had the ability to do, today. It’s the look of pride and disappointment all rolled into one. Imagine having one last chance (even after death) to “live” your dream. The old great character actor is a thing of Hollywood past. Maybe Liotta does it a bit in this movie with the scene before Ray meets up with his dad. I have to say Frank Whaley is an amazing underrated actor and is perfect as a young Graham. His movie Joe the King is one of the best movies made.
This was my old man's favorite movie. He played baseball growing up in the 50s & 60s and even played for the US Air Force. Feild of Dreams has become one of my all time favorite movies as well.
My Dad played the minors in the 60s: he came close to the bigs before he blew out his shoulder (he was a pitcher). And like Ray, I didn't know my Dad then, wasn't even a dream on his horizon. This movie is an absolute fave of mine...and this scene starts the waterworks that don't end until the credits start rolling. For all the Dads we have, as well as the ones we miss...
I lost my father in February 2021. I'm a father of 3 now myself and the wrong side of 45. I've always loved this movie, but as I get older it gets more and more.....I don't know quite what to call it.... special.
lcr2142 is right: "No son, thank you." A long lost dream realized. This is what the movie is about. People bury their dreams everyday for whatever reasons. That's why this scene is so effective and tear jerking. What was your childhood dream?
fishwonton Marry a Princess 👸 I Fell for She Died and my other Dream To be an L.A.P.D. But was Canceled Due To Having Kidney Stones when I was Younger. But I’m Greatful to God For my Parents. My Life . Friends. Work and to even though it was Brief My Princess.
A true cinematic masterpiece. I weap every single time I see this scene, full on weap, and I've seen it a lot. It'll never grow old or become stail with age; it's a brilliant movie
The writing, visual setting and music are all A+, but the slow and steady pace where everyone is tuned in takes it to the next level. Truly outstanding.
I remember the first time watching this, I knew exactly what was up. As soon as Archie saw what happened, he went into Doctor mode. I started tearing up.. Sacrificed your dream to do your job.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 He died 5 years after this movie. Not sure if he ever said it was his favorite role but it was his last. A wonderfully fitting end to walk out of the shot and fade away into the corn.
@@waynej2608 Indeed. The earlier scene in his doctor's office was so real and warm. The touch of vulnerability he brings to the character's father-figure is so genuine "...I didn't realize that that was the only day."
That moment all the players were watching frozen from beyond the grave in their own borrowed young bodies again, paralyzed and sensing the Gates opening but only the Rookie ran fearless... stopping himself on the LINE (that line between the World of the Living and Legends long Dead Dreams) that he knew he shouldn't cross by Divine Rules, making him hesitate for.. Until quickly realizing he was born and meant to cross that line many times for others lives, as he had done all his life sacrificed beloved Dreams and Games left behind for, so when he made that brave stepping to The Plate ready to bat (that move fills my eyes always, personally knowing it) he was ready to take whatever Heavens punishment for it and step in to do His Work, and "steal bases" saving another of His children from the real Tragedy that would have been her own premature demise _had he not been there. Saving lives beyond his death. Doc realized that Field of his Dreams indulgence was a well earned Holiday window but short lesson in one, from The Landlord to show him, he had always been already in His bigger Leagues all along. Drafted by The Life Giver own hand pick, and he didn't let Him down, his Coach was watching and he made Him proud.
The perfect movie, I don't know about you others but I have been in a similar position. So close but not close enough, to live out "My Dream" and also my own relationship with my father - although 3 years before he died, we got to patch things up and had a brilliant time for those last 3 years. This is the only film that makes me cry everytime I watch it
Me too. My dad and I were estranged for years because we were both bull headed, (a family trait) but mended fences a few years before his passing. I stayed by his side til the end and learned so much about the man behind the DAD and I wouldn't trade the memories for anything!!!!
@@andrewwardle7634 thank you, I'm doing well, I hope you are as well. Sometimes, I sense his presence especially in trying times and it calms me, I'm certain your parents are watching over you, a parents love never ends....
Our dreams are bigger than we can imagine. If Doc Graham never became what he did he would have never saved a life. The reason why the pitcher was nice to him after he tried to take off his head earlier is because he realized there are better things in life than playing just baseball.
This movie makes me cry every. time. They're mostly joyful tears but some sadness, too, it's just such a great drama. It always bothered me, though, that Ray was totally cool with his in-law who essentially almost killed their kid.
Yeah the occasional sprinkling of humor throughout the last ~20 mins is great. "But you're not invited..." lol; and then "you said your finger was a gun!" haahaha Masterpiece
Burt Lancaster was great in this movie. A man who finally lived a dream, but yet, had no regrets about how his life ultimately turned out. If only we can all live this way.
Love this movie! What a fun concept. I always tear up when the little girl falls... I'd be terrified if that happened to my kid. Notice how the mad brother never apologizes for making her fall to the ground.
Yes, both literally and figuratively. Get a load of Burt's shoes as he crosses over, to save the girl. Size 12, 13? A great actor, one of my all time faves.
OMG I did not know that either, and I love Baseball so much, I just always figured he was fictional to fit the drama of the story...Im 33 and I have watched this movies so much I can almost quote it, and today, I know he was real. I guess you learn something new everyday!
This scene kept repeating through my head for almost all my life, and wondered WHAT THE FUCK was this scene from. And headed to a journey where I end up here seeing the scene that replayed in my head. NOW I FEEL COMPLETE......kinda
Doc got his dream, to bat in the majors and he delivered. A sac fly is hard to do. The control, swing and bat speed need to be perfect. He proved he could hit in the majors, his dream. Now it was time to move on.
Maybe I'm misremembering but I think the Doc in this film said at one point that missing out on a career wasn't a tragedy, having never been a doctor would have been one. I always liked that line of dialogue.

All the way! Unfortunately Burt died not long after this movie but an unreal final performance.
“Hey rookie! You were good”
What a line. What a scene.
Saving a life was more important than his dream! A true hero
So has anyone else ever noticed that they show only one at bat from Doc, and it was a what? Sacrifice fly! Get it...sacrifice...its what Doc was all about!
@blah blah Yes, I am still alive. I'm not that old.
Sorry but what's a sacrifice fly??
When a batter hits the ball to the outfield, and it is caught, but the runner at 3rd tags the base and then scores, that is a sacrifice fly.
Damn man...I've looked at all the hidden meanings in this movie and I missed that. Nice eye!
@@cmbishop21 the runner doesn't need to score - just advance a base.
That look and exit was a perfect farewell for such amazing actor.

Same here

What a fantastic film.
I know, this scene still gets me every time.
It's not just me then! Take care all!
"Hey rookie!...you were good."
Gets me every time.
12 years later and it's the same sentiment
"Win one for me one day, will ya boys?"
Same.
When they drive that camera into Burt Lancaster's face and the line is "You were good".....and you realize this was his last on screen appearance.

The perfect movie. Makes me cry every time I watch it, and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it.
Seeing this scene again still brings a tear to these old eyes .
I've always Found this Scene so Special and Sad, One of my Favourite films of All Time!
Every time I watch this scene I cry like my first born. In my 60s nowadays and I understand and appreciate the movie even more.
For many actors , it was a privilege to have been with a legend like Burst Lancaster.

Thanks...nicely worded..
He really liked baseball and being young but he really LOVED being a doctor, a healer, amd husband to a loving wife.

@@waynej2608 sir, you beat me to this line...thanks
Son, i'd only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes now that would have been a tragedy
"if i only got to a doctor for a few minutes. now that would've been a tragedy."
Hey rookie!.............you were good. Still gives me chills 20 years later.
And still 30 years later after the movie was released.
Doc..."what might have been...."
🥶
These are the stories we tell ourselves. Not because they're true. But because it says something about who we are (or at least, want to be).
That's the definition of myth!

The score for this film is incredible. I play it on vinyl in the summer time when those evening breezes start blowing gentle, just sends tingles.
Very nice! I've had the CD for years - great for a quiet afternoon when the weather is pleasant. Hope the record keeps spinning for ya.
I lost my father in February 2021. I'm a father of 3 now myself and the wrong side of 45. I've always loved this movie, but as I get older it gets more and more.....I don't know quite what to call it.... special.
This world needs more physicians like dr graham
World also needs people who'll buy you pants if you're wearing rags.

Sacrificed your dream to do your job.
I don’t cry every time I watch this movie. I freakin blubber 😭
I don't know what was better...
"Hey rookie! You were good..."
Or Doc Graham's reaction.
I believe this was Burt Lancasters last (and favorite) movie role, great actor.
It was. He walks off into Heaven in this film then shortly after he does the same thing in real life. Beautiful
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 He died 5 years after this movie. Not sure if he ever said it was his favorite role but it was his last. A wonderfully fitting end to walk out of the shot and fade away into the corn.

Thank you,Burt. God bless you.
this scene is one of the reasons i love movies.
The Kid ran as fast as he could seeing the little girl was in trouble He was Born for this!
I dont know of another film that evokes so much emotion in so many scenes.
That was a great and an emotional movie experience!
The culmination of the sound track .meshed with the quality of the acting .brings me to tears .

If there's one game that really gets u emotionally, it's baseball....every single time....

Love the line "When did these ball players get here?" lol 5/5 stars
Yeah the occasional sprinkling of humor throughout the last ~20 mins is great. "But you're not invited..." lol; and then "you said your finger was a gun!" haahaha Masterpiece
For years I was tough, these days I’m a big ball of mush! I watch movies like this alone.
Showing or feeling emotion does not indicate a lack of toughness , not showing or feeling it at all is the domain of the sociopath or a psychopath .
@@barbraabsalom4531 Good to know. So, there's hope for me yet. Lol. Love the film.
Man, I cry everytime. I love this movie. Thanks for uploading.
😪
I also like when he crosses the line he goes back to his old self.
He wanted to be a big leaguer.
But he was born to be a doctor.
Great acting. Well done.
man teared up with this one too. it was " hey rookie! you were good..."
Two great actors in some of their finest parts; James Earl Jones and Burt Lancaster!
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this movie I always get emotional in many parts of the movie. Especially this scene.
i've seen this movie a million times and i'm 18. i just found out last week moonlight graham was real
You're an old man, now, Greg
When Ray says “Thank you, Doc…”, and Doc replies “No, son, thank YOU…”. Goosebumps.
Burt Lancaster was great in this movie. A man who finally lived a dream, but yet, had no regrets about how his life ultimately turned out. If only we can all live this way.
love the music in this scene.
Love this movie! What a fun concept. I always tear up when the little girl falls... I'd be terrified if that happened to my kid. Notice how the mad brother never apologizes for making her fall to the ground.
When movies told stories, when you left the cinema you felt wonderful
This is one of the best and saddest scenes in this movie. I cried so much.
Masterpiece!
My favorite scene from my favorite movie. Thanks!!
Amazing scene
He was a good ballplayer but his destiny was to be a doctor.
Only Burt Lancaster, the Great One, could fill those shoes.
Yes, both literally and figuratively. Get a load of Burt's shoes as he crosses over, to save the girl. Size 12, 13? A great actor, one of my all time faves.
This movie was so great
OMG I did not know that either, and I love Baseball so much, I just always figured he was fictional to fit the drama of the story...Im 33 and I have watched this movies so much I can almost quote it, and today, I know he was real. I guess you learn something new everyday!
Thank you - I didn't know that either... adds to the movie...
I love baseball …this movie wasn’t about baseball….I love you dad …miss you everyday ❤️
Why it would have been a tragedy if Doc could have only been a doctor for 5 minutes.
What a sacrifice. But that was what Doc was all about.
What a wonderful movie.
I miss movies like these
Nice work Doc!
Incredible scene and movie
Well moonlight at least got his hit that`s all he ever wanted that was his dream.
Best scene
Me too... always the scene I remember from this movie
I love this scene
If anyone does not cry over this scene, then they are confirmed sociopath.
Burt Lancaster's final film role, and he takes a few minutes and makes magic on the big screen.
Stepping in the Corn: Lancaster final bow. He didn't realize that day and scene would be his last on his career.
Just like Graham didn't realize it.
No son, thank you.
Thank You Elfman from the bottom of my heart :-)
the brother in law would have been tossed off the bleacher if I were Costner..
Mark (the ginger) is a POS !
Physician - First, Last, Always
This scene kept repeating through my head for almost all my life, and wondered WHAT THE FUCK was this scene from. And headed to a journey where I end up here seeing the scene that replayed in my head. NOW I FEEL COMPLETE......kinda
Doc got his dream, to bat in the majors and he delivered. A sac fly is hard to do. The control, swing and bat speed need to be perfect. He proved he could hit in the majors, his dream. Now it was time to move on.
Perhaps one of the GREATEST films ever.
Damn, this fills my eyes.
😭
All hail the great Lancaster!!
Maybe I'm misremembering but I think the Doc in this film said at one point that missing out on a career wasn't a tragedy, having never been a doctor would have been one. I always liked that line of dialogue.
That scene always makes me cry.
😢
