@smareng3 жыл бұрын
Oddly enough, the "Hey Dad" part wasn't in the script or even shot. When test audiences were confused about why Ray wouldn't directly acknowledge his relationship to his father, they added the two words to Ray's request for a catch during mixing (notice he says it off screen). After that addition, testing scores went "through the roof" according to the director. Couldn't imagine the scene without that line. Pure magic.

the pretense of not recognizing each otherand politeness that this requires is brilliant because it let's the emotions build in the subtext. This way, when we get to "hey, Dad?" there is a huge release of tension and the tears come.

I feel for you, Aaron...I can't watch certain parts of this excellent movie without tearing up. I used to play catch with my dad back in the early 70's, and while he's still around and will be 83 in Dec(God Willing), I'm not able to play catch with him as often as I'd like to, due to living halfway across the country in TX while he's in N CA and elderly. I realize that others, such as yourself didn't get to enjoy their Fathers living to a ripe old age. I don't even know you, but I'm sorry that he was taken from your family so young & before his time. My fervent wish for you is that you were able to accumulate a LIFETIME of memories in the short time that you had him with you & that y'all WILL meet again in the sweet bye & bye! God Bless, bubba!!

Years later, I got to have a moment with my dad much like what is depicted here, except the setting was an old fashioned fair and car show. When I tell people that I got to have a "Field of Dreams" moment with my dad, they get it immediately. This has become a part of our culture and it is a most wonderful depiction of love and forgiveness.

Your Dad is still here. I absolutely 💯% know they never truly leave. I am not a nut, I promise. My Dad is 77. Very reserved and quite. He doesn’t speak often and doesn’t say anything much about his past and not religious. We recently were driving around his town to kill time and I posed a weird out of the blue question to him. I asked if he believed in ghosts. He said without hesitation, “Yep”. I asked for more details and he said that his father (Papa Potter), visited him 2 or 3 times in last last couple of years out in his field and barn. He said that he was walking normally and his younger adult self. See, back in the 50’s my Papa had a car accident and stroke. Dad was 7 at the time. He really only knew him with his slurred speech and disabilities. Dad said he was at ease and very happy. Papa spoke once and said the property looks so good. Dad also seen him in the barn 2. A couple other times he could feel and hear him breathing next to him while restoring his father 1920’s tractor. It’s comforting knowing our loves ones check in on us. Your Dad is definitely looking in on you.❤

The way James Horner's powerful score begins to boast like spirits lifting in triumph once Ray calls him "Dad" and asks if he wants to have a catch, to which John chokingly accepts - it's the big reward; the big climax; dream fulfilled. Ray finally repairs his relationship with his father. Every time I watch this, before this scene comes up, I tell myself I'm not gonna cry this time because I've seen it a thousand times and I'm over it now... and every time I end up lying to myself.

Here in the UK, there isn’t the history of baseball, but it doesn’t matter. For me, playing catch is a metaphor for spending time together. Three years ago, my wonderful dad died aged 91, six months after a stroke. A couple of weeks before he died, he had a brief moment of recognition, as he smiled at me and hugged me. On the afternoon he died, I held his hand and sang Please by Bing Crosby, a song he loved. I write this on D Day, when my dad was on a Navy patrol boat in the English Channel.

Personally I think playing this movie to children that young wouldn’t really fit.

I lost my dad 7 years ago when I was 55. I still miss him more than anyone would ever know. This last scene is so precious because he always had time for me. We played catch in our yard. I wasn’t so available for my sons. I was always so “busy.” In this film, I’m the dad worn down by life who wished he could go back in time and recapture those moments when I could have played catch with my boys. That’s why every time I watch this scene, I cry a river of tears. I wish I had “had a catch” with my sons more often. Playing catch with your sons is the kind of thing from which those “memories of a lifetime,” come. “I love you dad and miss you more than you can know. You were a great example for me, but I failed in parenting my own two boys. I am sorry I didn’t follow your wonderful example.”

Your comment hit me directly, having lost my dad at age 55, 7 years ago. I miss him every day, but know I’ll see him again. And like you, I wasn’t always available for my son when he was younger, but enough to have that connection. Now I’ve got my son and now his son, my grandson, and we get to play catch together, I feel extremely blessed. I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sure you’ve been a good dad to your kids, otherwise you wouldn’t have mentioned them at all. All best to you and yours.

Its the small things that make this scene perfect. From the extended handshake and neither of them wanting to let go, to Ray hesitating asking the his dad for a catch as his dad said goodbye, to Ray finally asking, and the way john responded “id like that” but in his voice you can tell he really wanted to say “there is nothing i want more”, to the point where the wife had to turn on the stadium lights because they were so in the moment that they didnt realize how dark it had gotten. Everything about this scene is perfect.

One of the things that sticks out to me in this scene is the handshake at 4:33. You can just tell it's special and neither of them really want to let go with their hands. But just the way they shake their hands, it's like they want to make it a solid, meaningful handshake as if they won't have the opportunity again. Costner's face at 4:40 just has that look of slight desperation. It conveys "Don't let your Dad go this time without saying something. Speak up now!" And he did :).
