YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK OUT THE MLB GAME AT THE FIELD OF DREAMS INTRO WHERE KEVIN COSTNER WALKS ON THE FIELD WHILE THE CLASSIC MUSIC PLAYS AND THE VOICE RINGS OUT SAYING “ if you build it they will come” and then the players walk out of the field just like in the movie ands it’s the same 2 teams seen in the movies that play each other. When I watched this I got chills.
I gave you ladies a thumbs up, and no offense meant, but I felt there was a little bit too much talking between you two. I think the ending would have had more impact if you would have listened a little more.
I don’t mean to be critical here because I usually enjoy the reactions but I fell like in this one there was way a lot of talking and not enough of the film being shown. Either at keep up the nice work with the reactions
I agree. I really love your reactions but there were so many great lines and emotional build ups that I'm sad you didn't get the full effect of. While you were asking what was going on in certain parts....the dialogue was explaining it. This is a great movie. And it was great to see you so excited about it and baseball history. I totally get the tears when he asks his dad if he wants to catch. I've watched this so many times and I just lose it every time at that point. I hope you take this as constructive and meant positively so you can better enjoy the movie you're reacting to and we can get the most out of enjoying you do so. Really love your channel.
I always miss things the first time I watch a movie. I watch reactions to see the emotions of the reactors. Keep reacting and talking so we can enjoy what we love to see and get joy from your expressions of emotion.
Hi ladies. You two are very entertaining (and attractive), but to be fair, you would get a lot more out of the movie and get answers to many of your questions if you don't consistently talk over the dialogue. You were literally asking questions while the characters were giving the answers lol. I know we are all here for you reaction (which I really enjoyed), but maybe pause and chat then restart. I suppose though that doing that might screw up the people who are watching along with you on Patreon or whatever. Anyway, great reaction and looking forward to watching more of the 2 of you together. Stay safe and well!!
OMFG you guys talk a lot. 😂 I know it's a reaction channel, but I hope you can watch this again sometime in quiet and appreciate the vibe. We're in a weird time now, where modern audiences obsess over the "rules" of the story's universe. It's generally been a good thing, since it raised the bar for movies actually making sense. If you've never lived in a time where you could walk out of the theater angry because they gave up on the script making sense about half-way through, you're lucky. Nowadays, things are also dumbed-down too much. Subtlety is a lost art. Jokes are almost explained. Spotlights are shined on callbacks. It's the main reason haters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe exist. But, there are films over the years that ask you to just "go with it" and it will be worth it in the end. SO much talking and asking about what is happening, you almost missed the times it was trying to tell you. By the end of the movie, you weren't thinking about the rules of being a ghost in that reality. You were thinking about Ray's father. So take this as a lesson in movie-watching - sometimes, you just have to let the story drive. Stop following along with the GPS on your phone and questioning every turn. Just enjoy the ride and trust that the story will get you there.
So, after watching the reaction, I noticed multiple points where you were both critical of the choices people made and I wanted to point out some things that are just a different generational understanding of the world. Firstly, you both expressed disappointment that Ray is so reticent to share details of what is going on. Whereas today, someone sharing this might be looked at sideways or just written off, they would be locked up for lunacy in the 1980s. People of the 1980s had contradictory perspectives, nearly opposite of today. Outside of religion, people of the 1980s were incredibly skeptical of the fantastical but yet society was generally positive and believed one could achieve one's dreams. Today, people are far more likely to accept fanastical tales of ghosts or whatnot, yet few believe dreams come true. I think this is perfectly illustrated in the fact that both of you would choose not to continue following the voice, despite it leading to extraordinary outcomes. Secondly, your multiple off-hand comments about them looking up if Doc Graham was still alive or researching things.....this is pre-internet world. There was virtually zero access to public records. I realize you are both young but need to remember that the world approached things very differently, in the past. Your unbridled cynicism of what is a beautiful story bordered on mocking it; particularly close to the end with Doc Graham. It hurt my soul to see. I hope someday you can actually feel a sense of wonder in your own life. We all deserve to feel it, at least a few times in life.
Producer's note: This is the first comment on this video that expresses a viewpoint and criticism in a constructive and respectful manner. Thank you for that. In my opinion, you are entirely correct on generational differences. After publishing 200+ videos and reading hundreds of thousands of comments, I have come to believe that these differences happen with every generation. Just like people who grew up in the 2010s have different worldviews from those who were kids in the 1980s, so are the 1980s kids different from folks who were young in the 1950s, and so on. The difference may be more pronounced nowadays because of the rapid pace of technological and societal advance, but the principle has always been the same. There is a clay tablet from around 2000 BCE with a proverb complaining about the younger generation. It reads something along the lines of, "Youths are rebellious, disrespectful to their elders, and disobedient to their parents." My biggest lament here is that such a sizeable portion of viewers fail to take your approach of having a reasonable discourse and instead lash out with "You talk too much," "shut up," or the eminently creative "Gen Z is why the world is doomed."
OK - You're talking too much and I can tell already you will miss key dialogue. These two want their dessert first, and can't handle the journey of a good story... BTW, the Bill Of Rights does not protect the idea of filling Public School Libraries with anything and everything, including Hardcore Pornography or plans for building weapons of mass destruction. School boards are given the power of discretion. That was a bug sprayer ... Oh, and those prices were THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO!!! Archibald Graham was a real M.D. who lived in Chisolm, Minnesota. He only played part of one major league inning and never got to bat. The lady reading his obit was Anne Seymour and died months before the film released. The guys talking about him in the bar really knew him. Casting an elderly Burt Lancaster as Doc Graham was a stroke of genius. 'Moonlight' Graham finally got his recognition (and Terrance Mann was a fictional character).You need to watch this again - and pay attention!
Every Spring when I smell fresh cut grass and baseball season is about to begin, I remember being 8 years old and smelling my glove when my buddies and I were playing "three flys up" at the ball field by our school. This movie takes me back to that every time.
You can visit the field in real life. I’m sure people have already told you that in the comments. It’s in a town called Dyersville, Iowa. Idk where you girls live, but if you fly to Chicago O’Hare airport from wherever you are from, and take a flight to Dubuque Iowa you can rent a car and drive to the field. Flights between Chicago and Dubuque don’t start until November 4, 2024
I watched this movie for the first time with my older sister, who had seen it before, several years after it was released. Our Dad had passed about 5 years earlier. I totally didn't see what was coming before Shoeless Joe reminds Ray, " Build it and HE will come." At that moment, my sister said, "Now don't start crying." I instantly knew then what was about to happen and began crying like a baby. With every reaction video I watch, tears still come to my eyes. ⚾️
There's a special place in my heart for this movie. I grew up in Iowa (It was heaven to me then), and like the Kinsellas, I lived virtually next to a wholly created baseball field. Our house was directly across the street from a diamond shaped park that had been converted into a young boy's dream field complete with backstop. Absent a cornstalk outfield and the lights, it was where my own childhood memories were formed. I wasn't Shoeless Joe, I was Mickey Mantle and it's why I love baseball still today.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I grew up in MA and learned about baseball from my dad, who was a lifetime Red Sox fan (as am I, even though I live in Pittsburgh now). When we watched this movie together, he loved the parts shot at Fenway and mentioned that the three guys that were selling Ray and Terence the hot dogs and beers were actually the guys who worked that concession in the 80's and not actors.
Guys I really like your reactions but could you tone it down just a bit? I want to see your REACTIONS. There is a lot of very loud talking and you missed a few important parts of the movie because of it.
Such a great movie! I agree with others that you missed too much with talking. You are trying to over analyze it - you will enjoy it more if you watch it again and listen to the dialogue. Also, come on girls, leave the hair alone. You look great-have a little confidence and enjoy the movie and stop fidgeting with your hair.
Tori, if you love all the baseball trivia.... Moonlight Graham was real. They went to Chisholm MN and all the people Terry interviewed were real people talking about the real Dr Graham.
@bombasticbushkin1124 OR she is self-conscious. Constantly adjusting her clothes, Constantly fixing her hair, fidgeting, checking how she looks in the monitor. All classic signs of being nervous and self-conscious.
it's kind of a fools errand to try to put logic to films like this.. it's like debating the science of a godzilla movie - In the end, it just doesn't matter... just take it at face value and enjoy the ride
Rest In Power James Earl Jones. You were so much more than your incredible voice. Star of stage, screen, and television. You will be missed and never forgotten.
There is a lot left unexplained in the movie, primarily to allow the audience to speculate and develop their own theories and ideas. It's necessary to suspend belief around a lot of the details and unanswered questions. Liberties are taken with historical events, real people, and even the development of the plot and interaction between characters. It is a fantasy, and some aspects defy logic. What is in the cornfield? Where did the players come from, and where do they go? Did Ray time travel when he met Doc Graham? What happened to Terrence when he followed the players into the cornfield? One theory regarding why Archie is able to crosss the barrier, becoming Doc Graham again is that his character did not originate in the cornfield, but was picked up along the highway. What are your theories about the movie's most speculated features?
More power to those who want to speculate, but for me, that misses the point. This movie and the field itself run on emotional truth. Anything that will satisfy a character's emotional needs becomes possible. Ray talks to Doc Graham so Graham can describe his dream brushing past like a stranger in a crowd. Then Ray and Terrence take young Graham to the field so his dream can come true. After that, he can leave the field as Doc Graham to save Karen, and he heads off completely at peace, emotionally satisfied with both his young man's dream and his lifelong calling. All of that was real because it was emotionally true for "Moonlight" Doc Graham. There aren't any set rules or constraints-that's how the real world works. The rules and logic and constraints of the real world leaves everyone with missing pieces. The field allows each character to find whatever they are missing, logic and rules be damned.
I love this movie. I remember visiting my grandparents in Minnesota and seen this movie as a kid in Minnesota. My other favorite baseball movies is The Natural with Robert Redford, The Sandlot, Rookie of the Year, The Rookie, Money Ball. Years ago when my father was alive he went to The Field of Dreams field for a MLB game. He got me Dwier Brown/John Kinsella the catcher autograph baseball for my brother and I.
I think this film hits Boomers and Xers particularly hard in the feels because we grew up in a time where it wasn't considered acceptable to show or even feel emotions. Especially if you are a man. It used to be said that if you wanted to see your man cry, you watch this film with him. Ya'll grew up in a generation where your emotional intelligence far outpaces older people when they were your age. Partly because your guardians recognize that their own emotional limitations weren't healthy for them. Partly because culture has shifted so that being in touch with one's emotions is far more socially acceptable than it was in the past. This film will be indelible, but it might hit certain people harder than others, depending on their emotional upbringings. You also don't have to love baseball to love this film. The baseball certainly connects with a lot of people and that's great. But people's relationships with their parents are a timeless element of the human experience. How do we deal with regret?
Hannah & Tori That field of Field of Dreams is real in Dyersville, Iowa. Major League Baseball or MLB since 2021 have regular season game near this field. Movie field is a tourist attraction since 1989. MLB assisted in building new field near movie's field. 2021's game was New York Yankees vs Chicago White Sox (team portrayed in the movie) with Chicago won 1-0. 2022's game was Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds with Red won 1-0. No games scheduled in 2023 because of construction. In this year, MLB had another game at another iconic field, Rickwood Field in Alabama.
And for more backstory about the 1919 World Series scam, watch the movie "Eight Men Out," one of the eight was Shoeless Joe Jackson, a prime character in this movie.
I'm so happy for Tori! I love when people see a beloved movie and go "This was so made for me." Yeah, there are a lot of mysteries in this movie. The plot is even built around various mysteries. And, while we get answers to most of them by the end, some of our questions just go unanswered. But reveling in that sense of mystery is one of the joys of this film.
If you truly believe in the ⚾️ baseball ⚾️ magic you can see the players ❤ Next time let the movie play out before you start guessing and this is just a suggestion: try watching ( listening ) to the movie rather the chatting non-stop you might pick up on important things that you missed in this one. Thank you for the movie and best of luck with the channel 😎👍
Wow. So many comments talking down to you about how you should react. That sucks. This movie is just perfect. There isn’t a single flaw in it that’s consequential. Some bits of trivia: this book is written by W.P. Kinsella. The part of Terrance Mann was written as the real reclusive writer of JD Salinger. One of Salinger’s books really did use the name of John Kinsella which novitiated Kinsella to use Salinger as a character. The real Salinger did not like the use of his likeness and threatened the movie, leading to the author being completely fictional in this version of the story. Moonlight Graham’s story is also very real. Kinsella was reading a baseball encyclopedia and saw he had just one ½ inning and no at bats, which intrigued him. He then researched his life and found out he did become a doctor. All of the stories the people in Chisholm, MN told were real stories about the real Doc Graham. I believe some, if not all, of the people in the movie might have been those actual people. Only a few minor changes were made to Graham’s story (mostly the dates). When Phil Robinson was adapting this story for this movie, he wanted to use the title of _Shoeless Joe_ but the studio objected and suggested _Field of Dreams._ When Robinson called Kinsella to tell him about the name change, Kinsella said that he wanted to call his book _Dream Field_ but was overridden by his publisher.
Thanks so much for watching with us and for all these trivia tidbits! This was such an enjoyable movie to watch and video to film. As far as the mean comments go, they don't bother us. If Mr. Spock was here, he'd say that worrying about idiots is illogical.
@RuntotheMovies It seems that we've got to be on our best behaviour when commenting on here, but you can say "Worrying about IDIOTS" is ok. How does that work? My opinion. The girl messing with her hair every 2 seconds was off putting, she also has no empathy at all, smiling all the way through, amazing. The other girl, with the red cap, apart from talking to much had some empathy and ok. Ist time watching and the last tho, all too much. 😮
I live 45 minutes from the field this was made. I have taken all my son's to the field to "have a catch". The field was actually built on 2 different farmers land. They both had competeing connessions on each side of the field. Evenutually investors bought both farms and unified everything. The went deeper into the corn field and actually built a regulation MLB field and put up hotels. Too commerical for me now, but I enjoyed the site before the investors bought it. In the scene where they are arguing about the books in the school, my High School banner is hanging in the back ground. I am guessing this was filmed in Dubuque, IA because it is close to the site and the HSs there were in our conference. Terrence Mann was already dead. If you recall the point where his nephew told the police he had been not answering his calls for 3 days, but Ray had been only with him for a couple days max... The actor that played John Casella lost his father 3 days before filming that final scene which added to the impact of the scene.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. It is ironic that in the movie they tried to not sell the farm to investors, but in real life that's what actually happened.
😭 Just in a big emotional puddle over here! This is one of my all-time favorite baseball movies, and I'm glad y'all enjoyed it. Great reaction video y'all!!
The field where this is filmed, is in Dyersville, Iowa, and still exists and games are still played and the People did and do still come. I am 58 years old and I still tear up at this movie.
There was a little TV movie (back when a made for TV movie was actually something) along the lines of Brian's Song called Something for Joey. It was based on a true story and has been somewhat sadly forgotten ( I don't want to post any spoilers). There is a Japanese subtitled version on UA-cam and after a few minutes you kind of block out the subtitles in your head. It is well worth watching and really should be a staple of reaction channels. Lovingly acted and created, and yes you will cry with no shame :)
Ah, Ladies...... *sigh* I've watched you react to a lot of movies. But unfortunately....I didn't care for this reaction. During a fair part of the movie, and then during one of the most moving scenes in cinema, the climax of a baseball fairy tale...you two spent the whole time trying to figure out the science behind how and why everybody was there, or could see the players, or couldn't see them.... You made it into a bad science-fiction movie. You seemed to be so distracted by "figuring it out", that this very moving ending...never really moved you. Maybe it was the edit, but it seemed like you spent the ending talking, and just dropped into the movie for some dialog and some high points. I feel like you saw it, but you didn't feel it. Sorry.
I have a theory. Doc Graham was able to cross the baseline because he subconsciously decided right then to be a doctor instead of a professional baseball player. He moved from his fantasy world into the real world.
It was established earlier that the players remembered their lives. Remember the player talking about how he hadn’t smoked in the 19 years since he died? And the player who did the “I’m melting” from Wizard of Oz (a film released 20 years after the Sox threw the World Series). So young Doc probably knew he became a doctor later in his life and made the conscious decision to become his older self to save Karen. (I’ll admit it’s a little confusing why Shoeless Joe didn’t know about stadium lights since many teams played night games before he died in the 1950s.)
I hope that for anyone who has a good relationship with their parents (and they are still alive), this movie makes you want to just go and give them a hug and tell them you love them. For those who don't, I send you hugs and lots of love. I know what you are going through.
Please believe me I really don’t mean this in a nasty way and the pair of you seem perfectly lovely, but I’ve honestly never seen anyone miss the character’s motivations or the overall theme of this movie more in my entire life. It actually made it kind of interesting and sort of endearing.
Endearing that they missed the subtleties?? It made me frustrated beyond all reason. At the end I verbally said "If you guys yak though 'do you wanna have catch' part I'm done.'". Thank goodness they didn't.
Doc Moonlight Graham was a real person. The obituary read in the movie is practically word for word of the actual obituary. The people interviewed in the movie about Moonlight were ppl who actually knew the real Moonlight Graham.
Fun fact: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were extras in the Fenway Park crowd. For more Kevin Costner baseball movies check out For Love of the Game and Bull Durham.
9-9-2024 It was my day off and as soon as I saw the headlines I had to check everything possible. The news was true. Every single post confirmed it. He was gone. So many tears, so many memories coming back. Darth Vader's voice. Mufasa's voice. Terence Mann. So many other roles. Then I saw that Field of Dreams and The Lion King was coming. Tears again. 31;51 ... "Go the distance" I completely fell apart once again. Watching this on my Birthday has made it quite special. Thank you, James Earl Jones 🌹
I love your reactions. Though I appreciate your inquisitive natures, this film is not meant to be an intellectual exercise. It is a modern day fantasy about a baseball field where dreams come true.
That thing Terrance Mann was using was an insecticide sprayer. Pretty sure to this day that filming location has actually brought in a lot of money to Iowa's tourism industry and is extremely popular. About 100 yards from the movie site field, they built another baseball field and had a special Field of Dreams game in 2021 between the White Sox and Yankees. The outfield wall was corn and both teams entered through the corn to start the game. "2021 Field of Dreams Game: Yankees vs. White Sox" you can watch the opening.
If you like sports themed movies, Remember the Titans is a must. Much deeper than a sports movie. Also Miracle, about the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey team. I promise you’ll love both! Cool Runnings also a nice movie about Jamaican bobsled team.
Tori and Hannah (my two favorites) reacting to one my top 10 favorite movies! Great reaction! I am from Iowa. When this film was being made I was student at the University of Northern Iowa. Three friends and I were in one of cars in that long line at the end. I had no idea it'd be an experience I would cherishing for the next 30+ years! Thanks for doing this.. great job!
Thanks so much for watching with us! It's awesome that our reaction reminded you of the fun experience of being involved with the film. Those kinds of memories last forever.
Prolly not the most loved comment, but good reaction overall, but yawl talk way too much and tried to or think had to comment on every single lil thing. Sometimes you just have to let parts of it play out and just watch, like the ending of this movie then discuss it afterwards. Otherwise good job for most of it.
This is an amazing movie, and James Earl Jones was great in this, as in all of the movies he is in, and the late great Ray Liotta too, great cast, this always brings a tear to my eyes at the end too, every time. I think one of the reasons Mark couldn't see the baseball players, is because he didn't "believe", if you believe in the old time players, then anything is possible.
The Chicago Cubs Minor League Triple A club plays in Des Moines, IA. Every year whenever there is a home game near the 4th of July, they have a fireworks show after the game. I'm not sure if they do it every year or not, but at least one time they had an intro where they played a part of this movie. They showed "Is this heaven?" and the reply "No, it's Iowa." Then the fireworks show started.
James Earl Jones has entered the cornfield for the last time. RIP! The same year this movie came out, When Harry Met Sally also came out. Another excellent movie. That movie references the movie Casablanca several times - another excellent movie to check out. The wife of the director of WHMS directed A League of Their Own and Big - two more excellent movies. The husband also directed The Princess Bride, also an excellent watch. The brother of the wife created Hapy Days in the 70's and also worked on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 60's. Her father-in-law played Sol in the Ocean's 11, 12, and 13 movies. I guess you might say they were all very talented.
I love the fact that you guys know your Baseball History and the Legends that have played this game. I like to suggest 3 tear-jerker baseball movies to watch. #1 "PRIDE OF THE YANKEES" The story of Lou Gehrig. More of a love story than baseball. #2 'AMAZING GRACE AND CHUCK" This is Little League pitcher takes on the world nuclear weapons advocates and the underworld gambling syndicate. Jamie Lee Curtis said the final scene even had the stage crew in tears. #3 A League Of Their Own. Which you might have seen already.
Fantastic movie! top 10 sports movies. top 5 baseball movies. top 10 supernatural movies. one of ten movies that make me cry no matter how many times I've seen it.
You ladies, ESPECIALLY Tori, will LOVE this… That’s real Iowa farmland, and the ball field still exists… preserved by the family that owns the farm. And yep, visitors come all the time! But, the BEST part: MLB built an old-timey stadium right there in the same cornfield. In 2021 they held the first Field of Dreams game there!!! The White Sox and Yankees played. Kevin Costner walked out onto the field from the corn rows, followed by the two teams. Once in a while, MLB gets it right. Very right. The video is easy to find here on UA-cam…and it’ll choke you up as bad as the end of the movie!!!
To make the movie historically accurate, the role of Shoeless Joe would have to be portrayed by one of the locals from 'Deliverance'. Not that he couldn't be a good man, but he cheated and then bragged about it. He tried to sue the team to get the payoff money FFS. He was certainly not a smart man, totally illiterate, but his skill at baseball was undeniable. He certainly WOULD be in the HOF. Here I am judging the man 100years after he played. Who really knows. What's ironic is the bit about not wanting Ty Cobb to play, is that a lot of the hate spreading around at the time of the movie, about his racism, was disproved. He did play very violently. So that could be another reason.
@@orangeandblackattack Geez. Until I was 40 something I still played A league. What is it with the hubris dude? Joe admitted taking the money! One has nothing to do with the other, whether my time playing baseball OR taking money to be quiet. SMH.
That thing he was spraying is an old fashioned "fly-Spray". The "can like" cylinder contained the pesticide and the pump distributed it. This was before aerosol cans.
You might interested to know that the actual site of this movie was restored and allows games to be played at the site with a live audience of fans... The New York Yankees played there 2 years ago... it was magical!! So... They built it.. 😀 RIP James Earl Jones, I loved imagining you enter heaven with a smile just like this movie. Thank you girls, for a great reaction video!
Nice reaction! I think maybe you were hampered a little by trying to sort out technical "rules" of how the "magic" worked here. This isn't that kind of movie -- it's spiritual, not "High Fantasy". The "rules" are whatever was needed at that particular moment. Terry is best understood as a prophet. It is said that the prophet Elijah was taken bodily into Heaven without dying first, and that someday he will return and deliver a message from God. (Some believe that John the Baptist was Elijah returned.) Similarly, Terrence Mann, a great writer, is taken into -- what, the afterlife? -- as a living man, so that he can return and tell the world what he saw. I think the meaning of what happens to Doc Graham is that he is given exactly the dream he asked for -- winking at the pitcher, hitting the pitch, hugging the bag at second base. But that dream was incompatible with the life, the important, meaningful life, he actually lived as a doctor. And when he was presented with the choice of living his dream for eternity, or being the doctor he chose to be and save one more life, he didn't hesitate. Ultimately his real life was more important to him, even after his death, than his dream. His is a mature, fulfilled soul, a person who knows who he is and who he wants to be. As others have said, this film hits you especially hard if you've lost a parent. My dad was still alive when this film came out, but I cried in the theater anyway.
I'm not sure if you guys don't already know this because Tori obviously did a little research before the movie, unless she has a photographic memory of historical batting averages. I was impressed that she knew Joe Jackson's lifetime batting average. But (and assuming she didn't also look this up) did you know Archibald Graham's story was true. He never got to bat in the major leagues and he's listed as having played only one game. This made his story so poignant to me. And the people in the movie talking about him weren't actors, but real people who knew him or of him. How'd you like that James Horner music? I sob every time I see this movie.
Producer's note: Tori has an incredible trove of baseball knowledge in her head. She knows things about baseball that even the sports historians have to look up.
Please ignore all the comments about talking too much. You both seemed reasonably astute at picking up the nuances of the film. Your discussions and questions were on point. I've seen much worse reactions. Anyone who is that bothered by talking should maybe just watch the film instead of reaction channels.
Thanks so much for watching with us and for your kind words. The mean comments don't bother us. Were Mr. Spock here, he'd say that worrying about idiots is illogical.
The reason there was no players coming until after winter was because baseball is not played until the spring so the guys would not come to play until then. This is something a lot of people miss or didnt catch. Plus i love to hear you guys talk it shows you are trying to understand. So keep up the good work. If you do have questions you might watch the movie again on your own time. ❤😊🎉

They should quit trying to make everything real life… easy to accept ending that way.

Every man whose father has passed would give anything for one more game of catch with their dad.
Exactly 💯, I Know I Would
Well, not all fathers are good and not all cultures play baseball.
I would do anything to have one more fishing trip with my dad.
YES 💯. I would love that.
My dad doesn't have any arms. So we wouldn't be able to play catch. Then again, he's also still alive.
You two missed so much by talking. You should pause it while you talk. No one would mind. And Tori, you look awesome.
I agree. I really love your reactions but there were so many great lines and emotional build ups that I'm sad you didn't get the full effect of. While you were asking what was going on in certain parts....the dialogue was explaining it.
This is a great movie. And it was great to see you so excited about it and baseball history. I totally get the tears when he asks his dad if he wants to catch. I've watched this so many times and I just lose it every time at that point.
I hope you take this as constructive and meant positively so you can better enjoy the movie you're reacting to and we can get the most out of enjoying you do so. Really love your channel.
TBF that would make the full length watch along really annoying.
And if you can figure how to get a couple of young women to stop talking so much you go ahead and share that secret with the rest of us😅
I always miss things the first time I watch a movie. I watch reactions to see the emotions of the reactors. Keep reacting and talking so we can enjoy what we love to see and get joy from your expressions of emotion.
@@roger3141 It's possible to have emotions and not constantly talk
Hi ladies. You two are very entertaining (and attractive), but to be fair, you would get a lot more out of the movie and get answers to many of your questions if you don't consistently talk over the dialogue. You were literally asking questions while the characters were giving the answers lol. I know we are all here for you reaction (which I really enjoyed), but maybe pause and chat then restart. I suppose though that doing that might screw up the people who are watching along with you on Patreon or whatever. Anyway, great reaction and looking forward to watching more of the 2 of you together. Stay safe and well!!
I've seen other reactors do it, although it probably distracts from the rhythm of whatever they're watching. Most of the time, it works.
100%
Yeah it was a good reaction but would've been way better with more listening.
Don’t sign up for their Patreon. If you want to, you can. But you won’t see the movie. You see more of the movie on UA-cam than on Patreon.
OMFG you guys talk a lot. 😂
I know it's a reaction channel, but I hope you can watch this again sometime in quiet and appreciate the vibe.
We're in a weird time now, where modern audiences obsess over the "rules" of the story's universe. It's generally been a good thing, since it raised the bar for movies actually making sense. If you've never lived in a time where you could walk out of the theater angry because they gave up on the script making sense about half-way through, you're lucky.
Nowadays, things are also dumbed-down too much. Subtlety is a lost art. Jokes are almost explained. Spotlights are shined on callbacks. It's the main reason haters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe exist.
But, there are films over the years that ask you to just "go with it" and it will be worth it in the end. SO much talking and asking about what is happening, you almost missed the times it was trying to tell you. By the end of the movie, you weren't thinking about the rules of being a ghost in that reality. You were thinking about Ray's father.
So take this as a lesson in movie-watching - sometimes, you just have to let the story drive. Stop following along with the GPS on your phone and questioning every turn. Just enjoy the ride and trust that the story will get you there.
Get a hobby.
Yeah watch #2 would be worth the time.
This movie is magic. There's no need to logically understand or analyse every detail. Just feel the emotions.
RIP Art LaFleur, Burt Lancaster, James Earl Jones, and Ray Liotta.
RIP.
I wonder if after death they can finally admit this thing sucked donkey dicks? someone get a ouija board...
So, after watching the reaction, I noticed multiple points where you were both critical of the choices people made and I wanted to point out some things that are just a different generational understanding of the world. Firstly, you both expressed disappointment that Ray is so reticent to share details of what is going on. Whereas today, someone sharing this might be looked at sideways or just written off, they would be locked up for lunacy in the 1980s. People of the 1980s had contradictory perspectives, nearly opposite of today. Outside of religion, people of the 1980s were incredibly skeptical of the fantastical but yet society was generally positive and believed one could achieve one's dreams. Today, people are far more likely to accept fanastical tales of ghosts or whatnot, yet few believe dreams come true. I think this is perfectly illustrated in the fact that both of you would choose not to continue following the voice, despite it leading to extraordinary outcomes.
Secondly, your multiple off-hand comments about them looking up if Doc Graham was still alive or researching things.....this is pre-internet world. There was virtually zero access to public records.
I realize you are both young but need to remember that the world approached things very differently, in the past. Your unbridled cynicism of what is a beautiful story bordered on mocking it; particularly close to the end with Doc Graham. It hurt my soul to see. I hope someday you can actually feel a sense of wonder in your own life. We all deserve to feel it, at least a few times in life.
Producer's note: This is the first comment on this video that expresses a viewpoint and criticism in a constructive and respectful manner. Thank you for that. In my opinion, you are entirely correct on generational differences. After publishing 200+ videos and reading hundreds of thousands of comments, I have come to believe that these differences happen with every generation. Just like people who grew up in the 2010s have different worldviews from those who were kids in the 1980s, so are the 1980s kids different from folks who were young in the 1950s, and so on. The difference may be more pronounced nowadays because of the rapid pace of technological and societal advance, but the principle has always been the same.
There is a clay tablet from around 2000 BCE with a proverb complaining about the younger generation. It reads something along the lines of, "Youths are rebellious, disrespectful to their elders, and disobedient to their parents."
My biggest lament here is that such a sizeable portion of viewers fail to take your approach of having a reasonable discourse and instead lash out with "You talk too much," "shut up," or the eminently creative "Gen Z is why the world is doomed."
You guys ask way too many questions. and you miss good parts of the movie by talking through it.
@@paulpennell2115 agreed. Too much missed while over talking
Yes, wow....just....wow
OK - You're talking too much and I can tell already you will miss key dialogue. These two want their dessert first, and can't handle the journey of a good story... BTW, the Bill Of Rights does not protect the idea of filling Public School Libraries with anything and everything, including Hardcore Pornography or plans for building weapons of mass destruction. School boards are given the power of discretion. That was a bug sprayer ... Oh, and those prices were THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO!!! Archibald Graham was a real M.D. who lived in Chisolm, Minnesota. He only played part of one major league inning and never got to bat. The lady reading his obit was Anne Seymour and died months before the film released. The guys talking about him in the bar really knew him. Casting an elderly Burt Lancaster as Doc Graham was a stroke of genius. 'Moonlight' Graham finally got his recognition (and Terrance Mann was a fictional character).You need to watch this again - and pay attention!
"Have you ever held a ball or a glove to your face?" That line makes me smell leather every time. And everyone has done it.
Every Spring when I smell fresh cut grass and baseball season is about to begin, I remember being 8 years old and smelling my glove when my buddies and I were playing "three flys up" at the ball field by our school. This movie takes me back to that every time.
I'm Canadian, so no, I haven't. I understand the sentiment though. Like a hockey stick in your hands.
@@billthomas478The book this was based on, Shoeless Joe, was written by a Canadian.
That sprayer that JEJ used is an old school bug killer/sprayer.
ahhh okay!! I was so confused 😂 lol thank you for clearing that up for us
You can visit the field in real life. I’m sure people have already told you that in the comments. It’s in a town called Dyersville, Iowa. Idk where you girls live, but if you fly to Chicago O’Hare airport from wherever you are from, and take a flight to Dubuque Iowa you can rent a car and drive to the field.
Flights between Chicago and Dubuque don’t start until November 4, 2024
Everybody cries at the end of Field of Dreams. You have no choice.
It wrecked me 💔😩
Don't think to hard on what's happening, just live and feel in the moment. I wanted to see tears 🤨
I watched this movie for the first time with my older sister, who had seen it before, several years after it was released. Our Dad had passed about 5 years earlier. I totally didn't see what was coming before Shoeless Joe reminds Ray, " Build it and HE will come." At that moment, my sister said, "Now don't start crying." I instantly knew then what was about to happen and began crying like a baby. With every reaction video I watch, tears still come to my eyes. ⚾️
Thanks so much for sharing your story. ♥️
@@RuntotheMovies you are very welcome. Keep up the great work! ✌️
There's a special place in my heart for this movie. I grew up in Iowa (It was heaven to me then), and like the Kinsellas, I lived virtually next to a wholly created baseball field. Our house was directly across the street from a diamond shaped park that had been converted into a young boy's dream field complete with backstop. Absent a cornstalk outfield and the lights, it was where my own childhood memories were formed. I wasn't Shoeless Joe, I was Mickey Mantle and it's why I love baseball still today.
Thanks so much for sharing!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I grew up in MA and learned about baseball from my dad, who was a lifetime Red Sox fan (as am I, even though I live in Pittsburgh now). When we watched this movie together, he loved the parts shot at Fenway and mentioned that the three guys that were selling Ray and Terence the hot dogs and beers were actually the guys who worked that concession in the 80's and not actors.
That is SO cool!
I am pretty sure that much younger Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are extras in the stands in that scene.
Thanks so much for sharing your story! ♥️
@@RuntotheMovies Glad to. Love your channel.
Guys I really like your reactions but could you tone it down just a bit? I want to see your REACTIONS. There is a lot of very loud talking and you missed a few important parts of the movie because of it.
Such a great movie! I agree with others that you missed too much with talking. You are trying to over analyze it - you will enjoy it more if you watch it again and listen to the dialogue. Also, come on girls, leave the hair alone. You look great-have a little confidence and enjoy the movie and stop fidgeting with your hair.
Tori, if you love all the baseball trivia.... Moonlight Graham was real. They went to Chisholm MN and all the people Terry interviewed were real people talking about the real Dr Graham.
Wow!
I am definitely looking this up 😮❤
There is a movie Eight men out about why the 8 white Sox players got banned.
I have never in my life seen someone play with their hair as much as you do.
she took a bump before filming she can't sit still and talks funny and she keeps looking down at herself on the monitor
@bombasticbushkin1124 OR she is self-conscious. Constantly adjusting her clothes, Constantly fixing her hair, fidgeting, checking how she looks in the monitor. All classic signs of being nervous and self-conscious.
THIS!
it's kind of a fools errand to try to put logic to films like this.. it's like debating the science of a godzilla movie - In the end, it just doesn't matter... just take it at face value and enjoy the ride
Rest In Power James Earl Jones. You were so much more than your incredible voice. Star of stage, screen, and television. You will be missed and never forgotten.
R.I.P JAMES EARL JONES
There is a lot left unexplained in the movie, primarily to allow the audience to speculate and develop their own theories and ideas. It's necessary to suspend belief around a lot of the details and unanswered questions. Liberties are taken with historical events, real people, and even the development of the plot and interaction between characters. It is a fantasy, and some aspects defy logic. What is in the cornfield? Where did the players come from, and where do they go? Did Ray time travel when he met Doc Graham? What happened to Terrence when he followed the players into the cornfield? One theory regarding why Archie is able to crosss the barrier, becoming Doc Graham again is that his character did not originate in the cornfield, but was picked up along the highway. What are your theories about the movie's most speculated features?
More power to those who want to speculate, but for me, that misses the point. This movie and the field itself run on emotional truth. Anything that will satisfy a character's emotional needs becomes possible.
Ray talks to Doc Graham so Graham can describe his dream brushing past like a stranger in a crowd. Then Ray and Terrence take young Graham to the field so his dream can come true. After that, he can leave the field as Doc Graham to save Karen, and he heads off completely at peace, emotionally satisfied with both his young man's dream and his lifelong calling. All of that was real because it was emotionally true for "Moonlight" Doc Graham.
There aren't any set rules or constraints-that's how the real world works. The rules and logic and constraints of the real world leaves everyone with missing pieces. The field allows each character to find whatever they are missing, logic and rules be damned.
I love this movie. I remember visiting my grandparents in Minnesota and seen this movie as a kid in Minnesota. My other favorite baseball movies is The Natural with Robert Redford, The Sandlot, Rookie of the Year, The Rookie, Money Ball. Years ago when my father was alive he went to The Field of Dreams field for a MLB game. He got me Dwier Brown/John Kinsella the catcher autograph baseball for my brother and I.
R.I.P To a Great Actor James Earl Jones You Will Be Missed 😢
Yesss! R.I.P to a legend ❤
That line, hey Dad wanna play catch, breaks me every time.
I think this film hits Boomers and Xers particularly hard in the feels because we grew up in a time where it wasn't considered acceptable to show or even feel emotions. Especially if you are a man. It used to be said that if you wanted to see your man cry, you watch this film with him. Ya'll grew up in a generation where your emotional intelligence far outpaces older people when they were your age. Partly because your guardians recognize that their own emotional limitations weren't healthy for them. Partly because culture has shifted so that being in touch with one's emotions is far more socially acceptable than it was in the past. This film will be indelible, but it might hit certain people harder than others, depending on their emotional upbringings. You also don't have to love baseball to love this film. The baseball certainly connects with a lot of people and that's great. But people's relationships with their parents are a timeless element of the human experience. How do we deal with regret?
Hannah & Tori
That field of Field of Dreams is real in Dyersville, Iowa. Major League Baseball or MLB since 2021 have regular season game near this field. Movie field is a tourist attraction since 1989. MLB assisted in building new field near movie's field. 2021's game was New York Yankees vs Chicago White Sox (team portrayed in the movie) with Chicago won 1-0. 2022's game was Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds with Red won 1-0. No games scheduled in 2023 because of construction. In this year, MLB had another game at another iconic field, Rickwood Field in Alabama.
That's so cool!
No way!!!! This place is now on my bucket list 😊
I could listen to James Earl Jones recite the phone book and that booming voice would still have me mesmerized.
RIP He was one of a kind.
Two fun baseball fantasies that you might like are: "Angels in the Outfield" (1951. Don't bother with the remake) and "It Happens Every Spring (1949).
And for more backstory about the 1919 World Series scam, watch the movie "Eight Men Out," one of the eight was Shoeless Joe Jackson, a prime character in this movie.
I like the remake of angels in the outfield.
Definitely adding these to my watch list 😊❤
I'm so happy for Tori! I love when people see a beloved movie and go "This was so made for me."
Yeah, there are a lot of mysteries in this movie. The plot is even built around various mysteries. And, while we get answers to most of them by the end, some of our questions just go unanswered. But reveling in that sense of mystery is one of the joys of this film.
Thanks so much for watching with us and for your kind words!
If you truly believe in the ⚾️ baseball ⚾️ magic you can see the players ❤
Next time let the movie play out before you start guessing and this is just a suggestion: try watching ( listening ) to the movie rather the chatting non-stop you might pick up on important things that you missed in this one.
Thank you for the movie and best of luck with the channel 😎👍
Great reaction to such an emotional and heartwarming movie by the two of you and may I say how gorgeous Tori is in her baseball look ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words & compliment! This was such a great baseball movie 🍿 Go Phillies!!!
@@Tori14537 You're welcome, Tori 👍❤️
Wow. So many comments talking down to you about how you should react. That sucks.
This movie is just perfect. There isn’t a single flaw in it that’s consequential.
Some bits of trivia: this book is written by W.P. Kinsella. The part of Terrance Mann was written as the real reclusive writer of JD Salinger. One of Salinger’s books really did use the name of John Kinsella which novitiated Kinsella to use Salinger as a character. The real Salinger did not like the use of his likeness and threatened the movie, leading to the author being completely fictional in this version of the story.
Moonlight Graham’s story is also very real. Kinsella was reading a baseball encyclopedia and saw he had just one ½ inning and no at bats, which intrigued him. He then researched his life and found out he did become a doctor. All of the stories the people in Chisholm, MN told were real stories about the real Doc Graham. I believe some, if not all, of the people in the movie might have been those actual people. Only a few minor changes were made to Graham’s story (mostly the dates).
When Phil Robinson was adapting this story for this movie, he wanted to use the title of _Shoeless Joe_ but the studio objected and suggested _Field of Dreams._ When Robinson called Kinsella to tell him about the name change, Kinsella said that he wanted to call his book _Dream Field_ but was overridden by his publisher.
Thanks so much for watching with us and for all these trivia tidbits! This was such an enjoyable movie to watch and video to film. As far as the mean comments go, they don't bother us. If Mr. Spock was here, he'd say that worrying about idiots is illogical.
@RuntotheMovies
It seems that we've got to be on our best behaviour when commenting on here, but you can say "Worrying about IDIOTS" is ok.
How does that work?
My opinion.
The girl messing with her hair every 2 seconds was off putting, she also has no empathy at all, smiling all the way through, amazing.
The other girl, with the red cap, apart from talking to much had some empathy and ok.
Ist time watching and the last tho, all too much. 😮
I live 45 minutes from the field this was made. I have taken all my son's to the field to "have a catch". The field was actually built on 2 different farmers land. They both had competeing connessions on each side of the field. Evenutually investors bought both farms and unified everything. The went deeper into the corn field and actually built a regulation MLB field and put up hotels. Too commerical for me now, but I enjoyed the site before the investors bought it. In the scene where they are arguing about the books in the school, my High School banner is hanging in the back ground. I am guessing this was filmed in Dubuque, IA because it is close to the site and the HSs there were in our conference. Terrence Mann was already dead. If you recall the point where his nephew told the police he had been not answering his calls for 3 days, but Ray had been only with him for a couple days max... The actor that played John Casella lost his father 3 days before filming that final scene which added to the impact of the scene.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. It is ironic that in the movie they tried to not sell the farm to investors, but in real life that's what actually happened.
😭 Just in a big emotional puddle over here! This is one of my all-time favorite baseball movies, and I'm glad y'all enjoyed it. Great reaction video y'all!!
Thanks so much for watching with us and for your kind words!
The field where this is filmed, is in Dyersville, Iowa, and still exists and games are still played and the People did and do still come. I am 58 years old and I still tear up at this movie.
Dwier Brown who played his dad. In that final scene his emotion was legit cause his father had just passed away prior to filming that scene
Wow!
Field of Dreams, Rudy, and Brian's Song make grown men cry with no shame.
There was a little TV movie (back when a made for TV movie was actually something) along the lines of Brian's Song called Something for Joey. It was based on a true story and has been somewhat sadly forgotten ( I don't want to post any spoilers). There is a Japanese subtitled version on UA-cam and after a few minutes you kind of block out the subtitles in your head. It is well worth watching and really should be a staple of reaction channels. Lovingly acted and created, and yes you will cry with no shame :)
Watching James Earl Jones disappear out into the cornfield hits harder now. R.I.P. JEJ
It really does 😢R.I.P to a true legend
Ah, Ladies...... *sigh* I've watched you react to a lot of movies. But unfortunately....I didn't care for this reaction. During a fair part of the movie, and then during one of the most moving scenes in cinema, the climax of a baseball fairy tale...you two spent the whole time trying to figure out the science behind how and why everybody was there, or could see the players, or couldn't see them.... You made it into a bad science-fiction movie. You seemed to be so distracted by "figuring it out", that this very moving ending...never really moved you. Maybe it was the edit, but it seemed like you spent the ending talking, and just dropped into the movie for some dialog and some high points. I feel like you saw it, but you didn't feel it. Sorry.
I have a theory. Doc Graham was able to cross the baseline because he subconsciously decided right then to be a doctor instead of a professional baseball player. He moved from his fantasy world into the real world.
It was established earlier that the players remembered their lives. Remember the player talking about how he hadn’t smoked in the 19 years since he died? And the player who did the “I’m melting” from Wizard of Oz (a film released 20 years after the Sox threw the World Series). So young Doc probably knew he became a doctor later in his life and made the conscious decision to become his older self to save Karen. (I’ll admit it’s a little confusing why Shoeless Joe didn’t know about stadium lights since many teams played night games before he died in the 1950s.)
I hope that for anyone who has a good relationship with their parents (and they are still alive), this movie makes you want to just go and give them a hug and tell them you love them.
For those who don't, I send you hugs and lots of love. I know what you are going through.
♥️
Please believe me I really don’t mean this in a nasty way and the pair of you seem perfectly lovely, but I’ve honestly never seen anyone miss the character’s motivations or the overall theme of this movie more in my entire life. It actually made it kind of interesting and sort of endearing.
Endearing that they missed the subtleties?? It made me frustrated beyond all reason. At the end I verbally said "If you guys yak though 'do you wanna have catch' part I'm done.'". Thank goodness they didn't.
My 3 year old son could give a better reaction to this movie lol
we were not dealing with the MIT brain trust here
Doc Moonlight Graham was a real person. The obituary read in the movie is practically word for word of the actual obituary. The people interviewed in the movie about Moonlight were ppl who actually knew the real Moonlight Graham.
That's an amazing detail. Thanks for sharing!
I've been to that field in Iowa. It was many years ago so I don't know if it's still there but it was impressive being there seeing it
Fun fact: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were extras in the Fenway Park crowd.
For more Kevin Costner baseball movies check out For Love of the Game and Bull Durham.

It was my day off and as soon as I saw the headlines I had to check everything possible.
The news was true.
Every single post confirmed it.
He was gone.
So many tears, so many memories coming back.
Darth Vader's voice. Mufasa's voice. Terence Mann.
So many other roles.
Then I saw that Field of Dreams and The Lion King was coming. Tears again.
31;51 ... "Go the distance"
I completely fell apart once again.
Watching this on my Birthday has made it quite special. Thank you, James Earl Jones
🌹
Happy Birthday!!! We're glad you got to spend it with us.
Ladies you need to react to Right men out it's the true story of the 1919 Chicago White Sox throwing the world's series
On my wishlist 🤞
RIP James Earl Jones & Ray Liotta 😢.
RIP.
and Burt Landcaster
I love your reactions. Though I appreciate your inquisitive natures, this film is not meant to be an intellectual exercise.
It is a modern day fantasy about a baseball field where dreams come true.
Once again a wonderful reaction. This is a movie that will make any man cry . God bless you both.
Thanks so much for watching with us and for your kind words!
That thing Terrance Mann was using was an insecticide sprayer. Pretty sure to this day that filming location has actually brought in a lot of money to Iowa's tourism industry and is extremely popular. About 100 yards from the movie site field, they built another baseball field and had a special Field of Dreams game in 2021 between the White Sox and Yankees. The outfield wall was corn and both teams entered through the corn to start the game. "2021 Field of Dreams Game: Yankees vs. White Sox" you can watch the opening.
You’re overthinking it. It’s just a good movie. Enjoy it. That’s all
I have been to the field. Everybody should have a chance to go.
That's so cool!
Putting this on my bucket list! 😊
If you like sports themed movies, Remember the Titans is a must. Much deeper than a sports movie. Also Miracle, about the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey team. I promise you’ll love both! Cool Runnings also a nice movie about Jamaican bobsled team.
What's interesting is that this field actually exists and the MLB plays one professional game on it each season; tickets are expensive and go fast.
Tori and Hannah (my two favorites) reacting to one my top 10 favorite movies! Great reaction!
I am from Iowa. When this film was being made I was student at the University of Northern Iowa. Three friends and I were in one of cars in that long line at the end. I had no idea it'd be an experience I would cherishing for the next 30+ years!
Thanks for doing this.. great job!
Thanks so much for watching with us! It's awesome that our reaction reminded you of the fun experience of being involved with the film. Those kinds of memories last forever.
Prolly not the most loved comment, but good reaction overall, but yawl talk way too much and tried to or think had to comment on every single lil thing. Sometimes you just have to let parts of it play out and just watch, like the ending of this movie then discuss it afterwards. Otherwise good job for most of it.
RIP Art LaFleur Burt Lancaster James Earl Jones and Ray Liotta the legend
Art Lafleur was also great in a little unappreciated nugget called "Air America" with Mel Gibson and a young Robert Downey Jr.
RIP
This is an amazing movie, and James Earl Jones was great in this, as in all of the movies he is in, and the late great Ray Liotta too, great cast, this always brings a tear to my eyes at the end too, every time. I think one of the reasons Mark couldn't see the baseball players, is because he didn't "believe", if you believe in the old time players, then anything is possible.
The Chicago Cubs Minor League Triple A club plays in Des Moines, IA. Every year whenever there is a home game near the 4th of July, they have a fireworks show after the game. I'm not sure if they do it every year or not, but at least one time they had an intro where they played a part of this movie. They showed "Is this heaven?" and the reply "No, it's Iowa." Then the fireworks show started.
So many nice comments and good reactions. The adverse predictions throughout your dialogue is very fun to hear.
when he hit the curve ball, that wasnt scri[pted it caME RITE AT HIM LOL
Tori YOURE KILLING IT in that tub top 😃 that whole outfit , you look amazing. I could barely concentrate 😂😂😂
I really appreciate it 😃❤️⚾️ #gophillies
James Earl Jones has entered the cornfield for the last time. RIP! The same year this movie came out, When Harry Met Sally also came out. Another excellent movie. That movie references the movie Casablanca several times - another excellent movie to check out. The wife of the director of WHMS directed A League of Their Own and Big - two more excellent movies. The husband also directed The Princess Bride, also an excellent watch. The brother of the wife created Hapy Days in the 70's and also worked on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 60's. Her father-in-law played Sol in the Ocean's 11, 12, and 13 movies. I guess you might say they were all very talented.
Now you have to watch Kevin Costner introduce the Field of Dreams classic between the White Sox and Yankees.
my favorite movie of all time, our generation's it's a wonderful life!!
I love the fact that you guys know your Baseball History and the Legends that have played this game. I like to suggest 3 tear-jerker baseball movies to watch. #1 "PRIDE OF THE YANKEES" The story of Lou Gehrig. More of a love story than baseball. #2 'AMAZING GRACE AND CHUCK" This is Little League pitcher takes on the world nuclear weapons advocates and the underworld gambling syndicate. Jamie Lee Curtis said the final scene even had the stage crew in tears. #3 A League Of Their Own. Which you might have seen already.
"Pride of the Yankees" is superb.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Fantastic movie! top 10 sports movies. top 5 baseball movies. top 10 supernatural movies. one of ten movies that make me cry no matter how many times I've seen it.
This is in my top 5 of all movies. It’s so good
The lady reading the article was the lady that wrote it and the men at the bar all knew Doc and were telling actual accounts of him.
That actually isn’t true. The publisher was played by Anne Seymour, who had a long acting career dating back to the 1930s.
You ladies, ESPECIALLY Tori, will LOVE this…
That’s real Iowa farmland, and the ball field still exists… preserved by the family that owns the farm. And yep, visitors come all the time! But, the BEST part:
MLB built an old-timey stadium right there in the same cornfield. In 2021 they held the first Field of Dreams game there!!! The White Sox and Yankees played. Kevin Costner walked out onto the field from the corn rows, followed by the two teams. Once in a while, MLB gets it right. Very right. The video is easy to find here on UA-cam…and it’ll choke you up as bad as the end of the movie!!!
Thanks for the tidbit!
To make the movie historically accurate, the role of Shoeless Joe would have to be portrayed by one of the locals from 'Deliverance'. Not that he couldn't be a good man, but he cheated and then bragged about it. He tried to sue the team to get the payoff money FFS. He was certainly not a smart man, totally illiterate, but his skill at baseball was undeniable. He certainly WOULD be in the HOF. Here I am judging the man 100years after he played. Who really knows. What's ironic is the bit about not wanting Ty Cobb to play, is that a lot of the hate spreading around at the time of the movie, about his racism, was disproved. He did play very violently. So that could be another reason.
@@orangeandblackattack Geez. Until I was 40 something I still played A league. What is it with the hubris dude? Joe admitted taking the money! One has nothing to do with the other, whether my time playing baseball OR taking money to be quiet. SMH.
@@futuregenerationzyou were 40+ years old playing A-ball? You really want to stick to that story?
@@futuregenerationzIf you take money from gamblers to lose, but instead play your hardest, did you cheat at baseball? Or cheat the gamblers?
You girls really need to do "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
that thing he was spraying out of at ray was an old time bug sprayeer
ahhh okay!! I was so confused 😂 lol thank you for clearing that up for us
That was alot of fun! Thank you both so much!
& thank you for joining us 🎬❤️
That thing he was spraying is an old fashioned "fly-Spray". The "can like" cylinder contained the pesticide and the pump distributed it. This was before aerosol cans.
For a great performance with James Earl Jones in it with him playing a priest, check out "Gimme Shelter".
You might interested to know that the actual site of this movie was restored and allows games to be played at the site with a live audience of fans... The New York Yankees played there 2 years ago... it was magical!! So... They built it.. 😀 RIP James Earl Jones, I loved imagining you enter heaven with a smile just like this movie. Thank you girls, for a great reaction video!
Thanks so much for this tidbit about the field. And for your kind words. 😻
Games have been held there. And more will be. No MLB games are currently scheduled for the future.
Life long Iowan here. For a number of years the state had this motto on the license plates
IS THIS HEAVEN... IOWA
Beautiful Dyserville IA. It's always amazed me this was shot in a small town middle america
Thanks! Nice to see a baseball fan react to this movie. One problem. Let's go Mets !
Thanks so much! ⚾
This film never fails to makee cry, cause I feel that part of the story with his father, I can soo identify with him 😢
Nice reaction! I think maybe you were hampered a little by trying to sort out technical "rules" of how the "magic" worked here. This isn't that kind of movie -- it's spiritual, not "High Fantasy". The "rules" are whatever was needed at that particular moment.
Terry is best understood as a prophet. It is said that the prophet Elijah was taken bodily into Heaven without dying first, and that someday he will return and deliver a message from God. (Some believe that John the Baptist was Elijah returned.) Similarly, Terrence Mann, a great writer, is taken into -- what, the afterlife? -- as a living man, so that he can return and tell the world what he saw.
I think the meaning of what happens to Doc Graham is that he is given exactly the dream he asked for -- winking at the pitcher, hitting the pitch, hugging the bag at second base. But that dream was incompatible with the life, the important, meaningful life, he actually lived as a doctor. And when he was presented with the choice of living his dream for eternity, or being the doctor he chose to be and save one more life, he didn't hesitate. Ultimately his real life was more important to him, even after his death, than his dream. His is a mature, fulfilled soul, a person who knows who he is and who he wants to be.
As others have said, this film hits you especially hard if you've lost a parent. My dad was still alive when this film came out, but I cried in the theater anyway.
Thanks for watching with us and for these tidbits about the movie.
Love the Phillies gear. So cute.
Thank you so much 😊⚾️
I'm not sure if you guys don't already know this because Tori obviously did a little research before the movie, unless she has a photographic memory of historical batting averages. I was impressed that she knew Joe Jackson's lifetime batting average. But (and assuming she didn't also look this up) did you know Archibald Graham's story was true. He never got to bat in the major leagues and he's listed as having played only one game. This made his story so poignant to me. And the people in the movie talking about him weren't actors, but real people who knew him or of him. How'd you like that James Horner music? I sob every time I see this movie.
Producer's note: Tori has an incredible trove of baseball knowledge in her head. She knows things about baseball that even the sports historians have to look up.
Please ignore all the comments about talking too much. You both seemed reasonably astute at picking up the nuances of the film. Your discussions and questions were on point. I've seen much worse reactions. Anyone who is that bothered by talking should maybe just watch the film instead of reaction channels.
Thanks so much for watching with us and for your kind words. The mean comments don't bother us. Were Mr. Spock here, he'd say that worrying about idiots is illogical.
@@RuntotheMoviesThey're not mean comments nor are we idiots.
RIP, James Earl Jones, we miss you.
He's One With The Force Now.
Exactly 💯
RIP.
Rookie of the year check it out also the sandlot. Also major League 1 and 2 hope you can react to these baseball classics
That thing….is fly spray…from the 50’s and 60’s…fly killing spray was put into a sprayer with a plunger handle and the lid screwed back on…
The reason there was no players coming until after winter was because baseball is not played until the spring so the guys would not come to play until then. This is something a lot of people miss or didnt catch. Plus i love to hear you guys talk it shows you are trying to understand. So keep up the good work. If you do have questions you might watch the movie again on your own time. ❤😊🎉
If you want to keep going wit the baseball theme watch 'The Rookie' with Dennis Quaid....
Since the movie came out…Major League Baseball has played a couple of games a year there…in homage to the movie…
Why doesn't matter. It's magic.
No one asks how or why Dumbo can fly.
