"l could've sworn it was heaven."
This one hit me right in the feels. I'd seen Field of Dreams a long time ago, but I was too young to pick up on all the references and the plain beauty of this movie. Because believe me, this is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
You don't have to like baseball to enjoy Field of Dreams, but it sure helps. Unlike any other sport, baseball is surrounded by a special kind of nostalgia. "lt reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again." Field of Dreams perfectly uses that nostalgia to create a story about a man who builds a baseball field to give people a second chance at their dreams. Shoeless Joe, a folk hero of baseball, was forbidden to play the sport until Kevin Costner built a field just for him. Obviously there's a little bit of magic involved, but what is baseball without some magic?
I figured this would be a cheesy '80's movie. Though it has some of the cheese factor, it's made too innocently not to enjoy. I can relate to every character in the story, and the ending is especially touching. Field of Dreams is a prime example of how a mere film can develop such a personal relationship with its audience. This is one of those tall tales that could have easily been a disaster, but instead turned out to be one of my all-time favorite baseball movies. Recommended for anyone reading this.
