It often gets lost, but when Moonlight Graham gets to the plate, he hits the ball to the outfield. The outfielder catches it, Moonlight Graham is out, and the runner advances to score a run. In baseball terms, that is called a *sacrifice* fly. You deliberately get yourself out, to help someone else. Moonlight Graham sacrificed himself in his only at-bat, and he later sacrifices his baseball dream to save Karin.

What's really ironic is that Ray Liotta never understood the appeal of this movie. He thought the story was rather silly. Regardless he did a great job playing his part and the movie had a big impact on many of us. When I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out, I loved it but I didn't get emotional as my dad was healthy and on good terms with me. After my dad passed, "Field of Dreams" took on a whole different meaning. I can't watch it now without tearing up, thinking about all the summer nights we played catch in the backyard after dinner and how much I miss him!
@curtismartin28662 жыл бұрын
This movie literally came true. They left the field up and people just showed up to play catch. There had been a few issues - the outfield was in a different farm - and the field took different shapes. Finally, a foundation was formed and enough property not only to restore and maintain the filming field, but to build a full Major League field right next door. Last year, the field hosted it's first Major League Game, complete with players coming out of the corn in the outfield.

One thing, I think, most people don't catch in this movie (pun intended), is when Ray realizes the catcher is his father, and repeats "If you build it, he will come." He then looks over at Shoeless Joe and says "It was you" (As if, he thought it was Joe saying these things to him, all this time). Then, Joe looks back at Ray and says "No Ray, it was you." Meaning, it was Ray who was saying these things to himself, subconsciously, in the corn.

the most impactful/emotional moment for me was when Doc crossed the fieldto help the little girl. There wasnt any real hesitation either. But i gasped at the realization, like everyone else, that now he couldn't go back. But he wasn't upset at all. he got a chance to fix a regret and fufill his real calling in life, being a doctor. We've all been at that place when you have a goal in mind and you miss your chance at it and it just hangs over you for the rest of your life. You blame everything on that one missed opportunity, sometimes settling for the most unambitious, embarassing job further believing it's all due to that one mistake. Doc showed us all it wasnt, that you're life isnt just over. That you can find another dream which may be your true calling. Thats such a positive position and evidende that failure call lead to better things. Field of dreams is such an uplifring movie.

It's a film about baseball, but really it is a film about regret and not taking things for granted. Costner's character regretting he couldn't reconcile with his father. Jones' character regretted he didn't get his baseball chance. Lancaster's character regretted he never go to bat in the majors. Liotta's character, and the other Black Sox characters, regretted they couldn't play baseball again. A really terrific film!

Interesting that the director never revealed who "the voice" actually is in this film. It's just credited as Himself. Some say it's Kevin Costner, the director, or even Ed Harris. But guess we'll never know for sure.

You guys have to watch the opening game they played last year at the actual field of dreams. And they had kevin costner walking out of the corn field. It was amazing.

No matter how many times I see this movie and I’ve seen it several times, the moment at the end when he says… “ Hey DAD” makes me cry every single time lol

To have a catch. Its amazing that such a simple activity between father and son could hold so much importance in they’re lives.

This movie still never gets old at all! I watched it with my father as a kid. We used to play baseball catch and had a good time. Still miss my father and I'd love to play catch with him again. It's only been a couple yrs since he passed. One day in the heaven we will. Love you father. Also RIP Ray Liotta. ⚾️

I've loved this movie for decades. For a long time I didn't understand it, but all I knew was it was, and is, still nothing like I've ever seen since. I watched for Ray Liotta mainly, and his quiet performance and piercing blue eyes, but I think I kept watching for the fact that without writers, much of life goes by without talented storytellers to document it.

Great reaction! I'm sad you cut when Doc Graham walks back into the corn. The saddest and best part of the movie IMO.

I knew Dweir Brown, the actor who played Kevin Costner's dad, in college. Excellent actor. I love this movie and you two did a good job with it. Glad you enjoyed it.

I love this movie so so much... It's all this build up for that one moment when it hits you that it was a field of dreams.....for Ray... that one moment when Ray says "It was you." and Joe says "No, Ray, it was you." The look on your faces when you realized was why I was here! Such an amazing movie!!

The 40s and 50s super star that was, the famous Burt Lancaster as the doc. I loved his old movies.

I’ve watched this movie no less than 25 times and that is probably coming in low. I NEVER caught the “dream outside of the field” for Archie! Omgosh y’all! Thank you! Brilliant!

A cool random fact Kevin Costner shared after Rays death was, when he throws him the curvball pitch then hits it out of the park right after. Neither was scripted, Ray just hit them both and stayed in character the whole time. So when you notice how shocked he is that he hit the bucket its because it was completely by chance.

I actually lived the opposite of this story, in a way. Dad never liked sports, but I did. We were sharing an apartment near DC in 2005, when Dad was diagnosed with extraskeletal osteosarcoma. They thought they could stop the cancer, if they amputated his leg. As it turned out, it had already spread. I took care of Dad as best I could, but I needed my me time. I got season tickets for the Capitals, and that became my escape. For those who don't know, the only month where there's usually nothing substantive happening in the NHL, is August. And Dad still didn't really get it, even though he could see I was happier to be following the team. (Yes, the 2005 Capitals were awful. I know.) The 2006 Stanley Cup Finals between the Hurricanes and Oilers eventually went to a winner-take-all Game 7. I put my foot down and told Dad, you are watching this game. Don't argue. Carolina won, and when Dad saw all the emotions in the postgame, he told me he FINALLY understood sports. He passed away less than a year later. I still miss him.

The field still exists and they play professional baseball there once a year. So honestly someone built it and they came.😮

For me, the scene after Doc Graham saves Karin, and he’s walking back to the field, and Ray says “Thanks, Doc”, and Doc turns and says “No, Ray…thank YOU…” Wow. That was powerful…
