    I worked the concession stand at a movie theater during the original run of this movie, and every couple hours the doors would open and hoards of devastated looking men would be released back into the lobby, wiping their faces, and laughing in embarrassment. All day long, day after day. It was an amazing thing.

      Originally, he just said “Hey, wanna have a catch?” but test audiences didn’t like the fact that the movie was being ambiguous as to whether or not John knew Ray was his son, so they made that addition.

    What makes this scene even more special is that the actor who plays John Kinsella (Dwier Brown) arrived on set to film this immediately after attending his own father's funeral. It was very difficult for him while filming but he said that it certainly helped with the emotion of the scene.

A chance for Archie Graham to finally get to bat, and a chance for him to decide, once again, that it was more important for him to be a doctor than a baseball player. A chance for Terrence to rediscover his passion for writing. Heck, even a chance for Annie's brother Mark to rediscover child like wonder again after being so serious all the time to the degree that he had no imagination!

    Many years back, before MLB built the stadium there, I was moving my family from Utah to Wisconsin. My wife secretly routed us to Dyersville, and we pulled up to the Dream Field. I ran the bases without shoes, I stood at the mound and played catch with my father-in-law, and my son, who wasn’t quite one yet, and I rolled a baseball back and forth to each other.
    It was one of the greatest days of my life.

  • @gregsteele806
    @gregsteele806 Місяць тому +23

    Something a lot of people seem to miss when they watch this: All the players on the field are the age they were when they played baseball. Most of them died at a later age, but all of them came to the field in their prime. As Doc showed us, it's not that they can't leave the field. It's that they'll revert to the age they died if they did. That's why only Doc left the field. He knew his true calling was to be a doctor, and he'd gotten his dream of facing down a big league pitcher. They're all aware that they are dead though, and have the memories of their post-baseball lives. Ray and his father each knew who the other one was. They were just being awkward because neither one really knew how to reach out to the other and reconcile. It took Ray watching his father walking away again for him to reach out and ask for that game of catch.

  • @newageintimidator

    • @moeball740
      @moeball740 Місяць тому +5

      This may sound a bit crazy, but I think Ray's situation in Field of Dreams is a little like George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life. Ray has no idea how many people he's helped. He gave Shoeless Joe and the other Black Sox players who were banned a chance at redemption. He gave the other dead players a chance to come back one more time and play the game they loved. He gave Archie "Moonlight" Graham a chance to fulfill a life long wish - and to choose medicine over baseball all over again. He gave Terry Mann an opportunity to rediscover his passion for writing. He even gave Annie's brother Mark a chance to rediscover childhood like wonder. "When did all these ballplayers get here?" But it's not until the very end of the film - just like happened with George Bailey - that all of the kindness given out finally came back to Ray. What a moment!

    We’re all taught to “Watch the ball all the way into the glove” when we’re learning to play catch.
    John throws to Ray and he sees the ball thrown from his Dad once again and it means the world to him this time!

    Iowan here. It has lost it's allure throughout the decades; but the field is still here! It is a great place to visit. It was sold to a group that former MLB player Frank Thomas has the majority ownership of. They kept the original baseball field and built a new one to host MLB games.

      At the end, when Ray Joe said "Build it, and he will come", then Ray saw his father and said, "It was you", he was saying Build it and his dad will come". But it was not about the dad;s pain because he was already dead and Ray was the one living with the pain...It was about brining his dad there so they could patch things up and Ray could go on with his life,,,

    • @periechontology
      @periechontology 11 днів тому

      @@jimmccarley8280 When Ray says "It was you" he is speaking to Shoeless Joe Jackson (he physically turns his head from looking at his father and faces in Joe's direction. Review the entire end scene and you will see. Its on UA-cam). Joe is the one who finally reveals to him the meaning of the original phrase "If you build it he will come". So Ray assumes that Joe was the original voice speaking to him. "It was you" he exclaims. But Joe replies "No Ray it was you". The voice was Ray's own heart speaking to him. The “he” in the different phrases that Ray hears in the field should all logically refer to the same person. “If you build it HE will come” should refer to the same “he” as “ease HIS pain.” Grammatically it should definitely not refer to the person being addressed (Ray). Also, in this movie there is obviously an after life. People continue to feel even after they leave this world. That was why it was so important to allow Doc Graham to finally live his dream even though he was also dead.
