PSALM 107:1-3 KJV
107 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

Amen
It is so amazing living in the last days told of centuries ago. Yaweh is truth.
@@Californiablend Amen
Thank you for these Bible verses. Really. Thank you.
Ray Liotta does a subtle but tremendous job as usual
Doc Graham, like the other baseball players, was a real person. He was very much loved by the community he served as a doctor. He was played here by the legendary actor Burt Lancaster in his final role before his death.
In Kinsella's book on which this movie is based, Shoeless Joe, the writer was also a real person. Only it wasn't the fictional Terrance Mann, but famous "Catcher in the Rye" author J.D. Salinger. However, producers changed the name when the reclusive Salinger threatened to sue.
And the towns folk they interviewed at the bar actually knew Graham and the stories they told were real.
@@johno1765 Thank G-d Salinger did threaten to sue over his likeness featured in the film.
Otherwise that would've obviously meant that James Earl Jones wouldn't have been cast in the role in the first place, and THAT would've been a tragedy.
@@Jon_from_LI , So true! The producers certainly made the best of that challenge by putting in pinch hitter Thomas Mann (James Earl Jones) to knock that Salinger curve ball out of the park. 🙂⚾
I know most people hit the waterworks when he sees his Dad, but for me it's when Doc steps off the field to help the little girl. It validates his past decision and he realizes that he did indeed make the right choice for himself.
Followed by Hey rookie! You were good 😢😢
All the cars hit me.
"They're even walking in sync."
Ive seen this movie 100s of times, and i never noticed that, and its a fantastic observation!
My dad coached my little league team. I used to practice pitching to him in my backyard with him as a catcher, and he insisted that he catch next to a tree to simulate a batter. If I was throwing to him for 30 minutes, at least one pitch would ricochet and hit him in the hand or head, or leg. He'd jump up cursing, then get right back down for the next pitch. I was just in awe at how insane he was and the incredible sacrifice he was making for me. I'd try to convince him to catch somewhere else, but he thought it was the perfect spot in the yard to make me a better pitcher. I quit baseball to focus on football and basketball, but when he dies, that's a story I'll tell at his funeral.
I used to pitch to my mom, who is one of the best athletes I've ever known. Then she'd pitch to me so I could become a catcher too. Dad was away flying jets a lot. She put the other mothers to shame. To be honest, she humbled most of the Dads too.
Love this movie. Visited the site in 92 and had a catch with my dad on the field. The farm you can see in the distance was owned by my dads cousin during filming and still in the family
One movie guaranteed to make grown men cry. The scene at the end still gets me every time. 😢
The Ken Burns documentary, Baseball, does a great job of explaining the role baseball played in shaping 20th century American culture and society, and why it came to be called America's pastime.
A couple other great baseball movies worth watching are Bull Durham (1988, also with Kevin Costner), and Major League (1989).
Can't forget FOR LOVE OF THE GAME (also Kevin Costner)
And The Natural
The look on your face when you saw Ray's father. Best facial expression ever 💜
The story is NOT about baseball, it uses baseball as a symbol of Ray's lost childhood with his father. Every man feels that loss after their father dies, regardless of how they treated each other while alive. It is powerful message for everyone. I cry every time I see it.
Loved the Animal Farm nod!
The field is still there 35 years later and averages 100k visitors/year. I’ve been there. Super cool. Also, Major League Baseball has played a game there.
I have yet to get through this movie without crying at the end. I lost my own Dad suddenly during my Senior year of High School. Their were many things left undone and unsaid between us.
This is one of the few films that will make grown men, as tough and as stoic as they come, shed tears when Ray's father shows up. The story uses baseball...but its about so much more. Fathers and sons, family, pursuing your dreams, and more.
My favorite scenes in the film, besides the reveal of the father, are the scenes with the late, great Burt Lancaster as Doc Graham. He is one of my favorite actors, and this is one of his best performances, in his last big screen film. His list of legendary films and amazing performances is long:
- With his friend, Kirk Douglas: Gunfight at the OK Corrall (Lancaster plays Wyatt Earp, Douglas plays Doc Holliday), The Devil's Disciple, Seven Days In May, and Tough Guys (Their last movie made in the 1980s) - these are the best four of their seven films together, IMHO.
- Elmer Gantry - His Oscar-winning performance as Best Actor.
- From Here To Eternity - A MUST SEE!!! Set on Hawaii, just days before the attack on Pearl Harbor...an Oscar-winning performance by Frank Sinatra. Romantic and heart-breaking.
- The Rainmaker, The Sweet Smell of Success, Run Silent, Run Deep, Judgment At Nuremberg, Birdman of Alcatraz, 1900, Atlantic City, and Local Hero are all worth a watch...with so many I haven't listed.
I also love James Earl Jones's performance. It has all the hallmarks we love about him, but we see his softer side. And that VOICE!!!! Terrence Mann is one of my favorite roles Jones played.
There’s a movie called 8 Men Out that’s about the players who threw the World Series in 2019, and how they were punished for it.
Take action on God's call for your life in Christ!!! It's not just about you, it's about what God put in you for other people in this world!!! They need it 🙏God let are faith be in you
Great reaction to an awesome movie, Gabby. Btw, one of the most moving aspects of this movie is that the elderly actor who played 'Moonlight Archie Graham' was Hollywood legend, Burt Lancaster. This movie was his final role before he died. So, towards the end when Ray Liotta's character (Shoeless Joe Jackson) told him, "Hey, Rookie....you were good.", it was basically an on-camera Hollywood farewell, paying homage and respect to an acting legend in his final role.
I went to the field of dreams in Dyersville in the 90's when I lived in iowa...I took a small jar of dirt.
My Dad passed in April and he loved baseball. If there is enough magic in the world we will have a catch again.
That's so sweet!!!
Take a chance on your dreams, you never know what amazing experiences might happen for you.
I’m a grown man. I was fortunate enough to have been able to play catch with my Dad thru high school. But there are 2 movies that always make me cry, Field of Dreams and Saving Private Ryan.
Little Archie Graham is Brett from Pulp Fiction. “Do you read the bible, Brett?” "Say what again!”
He’s also in School Of Rock as the Battle of the Bands director.
"Amazing Grace and Chuck" is a real tear-jerker about a Little League baseball pitcher whose plight to change the world inspired the NBA NFL MLB and NHL players to protest with the 12 year old. Until organized gambling started loosing millions. The final scene even had the stage crews and actors in tears.
Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
I don't trust anyone that doesn't cry at the end.
At its core it's the story a man gaining his father's acceptance and approval. So it's central focus is the relationships of fathers and sons.
Oh, yeah, the movie you were expecting is called “The Bad News Bears.” From the 70s I think. I was little when it came out.
Great Movie
Fantastic Suggestion ✌️🤠
I think you finally did nail saying "The Sixth Sense" there in the end. 😉
I have no idea why I enjoy reaction videos, and I watch and subscribe to several, but I wish you would do more as I have enjoyed all your videos, can’t say why that is either, but always enjoy your reactions popping into my feed….
She's one of my favorites as well. She could react to paint drying and make it entertaining.😁👍
The ending scene it was the locals cars, and they shut down the power grid in that area to make it black as it was
The men talking about Doc Graham in the bar were actual residents of the town and knew Graham.
Burt Lancaster could read the phone book and I’d be fascinated. What a final last role.
The Field is still there ... +30 years later. It was neglected for a while but is now fully restored and has hosted professional pre-season games. AFAIK, much of the adjacent corn has been razed to make room for additional baseball diamonds with bleachers. This is just east of Dyersville, between Iowa City & the Mississippi River.
It also hosted a regular season MLB game between the Yankees and the White Sox -- if you build it they will come
Loved your reaction. Great film and yeah I cried from the moment doc saved the little girl to when he played catch with his dad...gets me everytime. I'd love to have one more catch with my dad.
I have virtually no interest in baseball and this is still one of my favorite movies of all time.
Very nice reaction Cali. I was waiting for his dad to show up and you didn't disappoint. :)
Thank you for not complaining it was about baseball. I liked how you said... if you WERE a baseball fan, it would have hit you 10x harder. Very nice. At the end when you were surprised to see his dad, that was a beautiful moment for all of us to "catch." Thank you for a lovely reaction! I try to watch your channel whenever I can. You are a lovely reactor! 📽🎞🤎
Just such a beautiful movie. The ending always destroys me with his father.
One of my greatest surprises pulling an unknown book off the shelf in a library was the book this was based on. It is called "Shoeless Joe" and being a big fan of baseball history I picked it up and started reading. It was really magical. Then, a few years later this movie cane out and when I read the description I realized it was based on that magical book!
I think it's one of the best adaptations to film of a novel in loved.
I like this movie. And I like looking at you, so this was a good video for me.
Great movie. Another good movie is (Misery) 1990 its a thriller.
I have always loved this film and I've never really understood nor cared for baseball. Went to a baseball game when I was over in the US (not like 'footie', is it?) and there was so much stopping and starting I kind of switched off - couldn't even tell you who won (nor remember who was playing). Nevertheless I love this film how it was intended to be loved by people generally, I wouldn't say it was fair to state that this film was intended just for baseball fans.
"Is that a ghost? Do we call 911?" Lol! Yes! "This is 911. What's your emergency?" "Hello. Yes. Ray Liotta is dressed like a baseball player, and he's standing on the baseball field I made . . . Hello?"
Born and raised in Iowa.🎉😊🎉 Joined the Army for a bit. Seen alot of placed. Came back.
the old guys in the bar were actual friends of doc graham telling stories they knew about him
This movie is perfection.
I look forward to playing catch with my Dad.
The field of dreams is still there in Iowa, and people are still coming.
26:08 lmaoo
in dyersville, iowa you can visit the field of dreams field where the movie was filmed . in greenville, south carolina is the shoeless joe jackson museum.
You are so intelligent and beautiful, inside and out.
terreance mann was based on j.d salinger who wrote an iconic book about the 60 s
Just one of the best films ever made. Powerhouse cast too. From Ray down to Karen, just so good. 🫶
Great Reaction !!! Thank You
Love it when you enjoy a movie that I love!
Phil Alden Robinson who wrote and directed says he was given the original book by a woman producer to read, he asked whats it about, she said a farmer who hears voices, Phil said no thanks, she said then he ploughs his crop under and builds a baseball field, Phil said, not my thing, she persisted (she saw something in it) and Phil took it home and only about 10 20 did he pick it up, and read it all the way through and thought I have to make a movie out of this. So yes its about having a vision and following through no matter what anyone thinks, believe in yourself.....and about getting second chances....
If you build it, he will come: was for Rays father
Ease his pain was for Ray’s pain. He was in emotional pain with all those unresolved issues he had with his dad.
Who knew Darth Vader was a Pulitzer winning writer and baseball fanatic?
Most viewers are thrown by Ray's fixation about his father being old. I know I was, until I did the math. The dates in the voiceover intro tell us that when Ray was born in 1952 his father was 56 years old & had been married for 14 childless years. Ray was 14 years old in 1966 when he stopped playing catch with his 70-year-old father. Ray was 22 when he married Annie in 1974 & his father died a few months later at the age of 78. So yeah, Ray wasn't tripping, his dad always was OLD. I think when we know what the numbers are Ray's reunion with his father is even sweeter.
It's interesting how the filmmakers portray a so-called "afterlife" in this film. They weren't really going for any particular religious vibe. More like when you die, you stay as how you would like to be remembered, a metaphysical transformation where time and space mean nothing. Sort of traveling to alternate universes or plains of existence. "Field of Dreams," to me, felt like a really good "Twilight Zone" episode.
top 10 movies about sports. top 5 movies about baseball. top 5 Kevin Costner movies. one of 9 movies that make me cry no matter how many times I watch it.
I never forgave him for getting old
16:22 LMAO!!!
Love your channel and reactions!
You have the best intro of ANY reaction channel.
❤ it.
I’d like to see her with crazy, lifted hair in different patterns for each quadrant. She’s definitely pretty enough because she has a lovely face and an attitude that contributes to that. This girl will be a star if fortune favors her and somebody besides us watchers, sees her.
Doc crossing the line breaks me every time.
Good job with this one. Now on to movies, "Always" and "Meet Joe Black" if you haven't already seen them. I am a baseball fan but this isn't really about baseball, is it. For baseball try "A league of their own", "Major league", "The Natural", or "Money Ball".
I second that, would love to see her react to "Meet Joe Black", very underrated movie. Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt ... and I love Claire Forlani in that movie!
I always appreciate your thoughtful, insightful commentary. 👍 Another baseball movie you may like is The Natural which, like this one, is enjoyable and inspiring even if you're not a baseball fan.
Ray Liota who played Shoeless Joe had his mother die while making this movie.He never did watch the movie because it reminded him of that time and died a few years ago without ever seeing it
Guaranteed guy tears.
Agree this is the sixth senxth
absolutely luv your channel.
Thanks!!
I never thought this movie was about baseball
You can ask any sports fan what's a movie that makes a man tear up. I betcha everything I own 99.999999999% will say 'Field of Dreams'.
Toss-up for me between this one and "Brian's Song.' Both hit me hard every time I watch.
He's spraying insect repellent at him. You'd fill the container with it and push the handle. The spray was quite unhealthy and was banned.
I would love to see your reactions to these 2 westerns that nobody's shown their reactions to and the Westerns are Silverado and Big Jake
This is yet another example of a movie that is made ten times better by a musical score composed by the great James Horner. 1989 was a darned good year for Jim...he had 5 movies come out, including this one, Glory, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids...but it really should have been much better for him. First, Horner could only be nominated for an Academy Award for one film, even though the score for Glory is just as good if not better than Field of Dreams...but then he LOST to the score for a Disney cartoon that should not have beaten him.
This one passed you by in this reaction. This movie isn't one lick about baseball. I'm in tears at the end every time and I've never watched so much as a minute of it. I don't know if you were expecting something else and was thrown for it or what, but yeah. That's OK, not every movie will land with a reactor.
Iowa is my State!!
in the sequel Ray and his family get sued for not having enough porta-potties, food, drinks, or parking spaces.
Califoniablend's a very attractive woman, just saying
Ppl see for a lot of ways. In this case it was a form of tradgity. Little girl falling. When ppl start using their heart sometimes more than their brains.
You should watch the movie Eight men out the true story of the Chicago White Sox throwing the world series
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
You need to suspend reality during parts of this movie😎
Who was Napoleon, again?
The book doesn't exist. It's just a device in the story. There was no Terence Mann.
The film isn't geared to baseball fans at all. It's like you missed the whole movie
Get yourself a wife like Ray Cansela's.
NGL Have to admire your persistence in pronouncing "The 6th Sense". Keep practicing, you'll get there.
Baseball's a dying sport nowadays in the US, but it was still popular, when "Field of Dreams" was released.
Some steroid scandels, coupled with it being too long & too slow a game for modern audiences, caused it to to go by the wayside.
It's not a dying sport, and it hasn't "gone by the wayside". Sure, it's not the center of American culture the way it was 100 years ago, when it wasn't competing with football, basketball, video games, and other forms of entertainment, but attendance has been up each year since the lockdown, and this year is on track to be one of the best years ever. It's still America's pastime and still the best way to spend a summer afternoon.
@@asterix7842Lol. So you picked a 4 year glitch in a over 100 history. Basically a cherry pick to fit your narrative. Does a stock market chart eb and flow do you think? Or does it just go up continually or just straight down continually in perpetuity? No. Sorry, but baseball is dying. I never see anyone playing it sandlot style like the movie as i used to and many other kids did in the early 90's. Whenever i see highlights the stadiums aren't even half full. When i used to go to twins games the stadium was packed. Then in 1994 i quit playing and watching once i realized how boring it was unless you were a pitcher. Did you know the total amount of doing things for the average player in a nearly 4 game is 3.5 minutes? The rest of the time you are sitting or standing doing nothing. Golf is even far superior.
@@WheresWaldo05 What glitch? When I said "this year is on track to be one of the best years ever.", it was implied that I meant in the history of Major League Baseball. Luckily, we don't have to rely on your observations and preferences to determine that. MLB keeps detailed statistics on everything, including attendance. Before this year, the highest attendance came during the 2000s, with the high point being 79,484,718 in 2009. This year so far, slightly more than halfway through the season, the attendance total is 40,174,179. Granted, Football is still the most popular sport in the US, but that doesn't mean baseball is a dying sport.
@@asterix7842 stocks can go down perpetually. But there can be little trends of upticks. Before it eventually reverts bsck to its natural downward inclination. That is what has happened the past 4 years. A short term uptick that will eventually continually go lower than its prior lows. Ebs and flows. Research them
'Do we call 9-1-1' ...you know who you gonna call.
