YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK OUT THE MLB GAME AT THE FIELD OF DREAMS INTRO WHERE KEVIN COSTNER WALKS ON THE FIELD WHILE THE CLASSIC MUSIC PLAYS AND THE VOICE RINGS OUT SAYING “ if you build it they will come” and then the players walk out of the field just like in the movie ands it’s the same 2 teams seen in the movies that play each other. When I watched this I got chills.

Hi ladies. You two are very entertaining (and attractive), but to be fair, you would get a lot more out of the movie and get answers to many of your questions if you don't consistently talk over the dialogue. You were literally asking questions while the characters were giving the answers lol. I know we are all here for you reaction (which I really enjoyed), but maybe pause and chat then restart. I suppose though that doing that might screw up the people who are watching along with you on Patreon or whatever. Anyway, great reaction and looking forward to watching more of the 2 of you together. Stay safe and well!!

[@aklein7864]

OMFG you guys talk a lot. 😂 I know it's a reaction channel, but I hope you can watch this again sometime in quiet and appreciate the vibe. We're in a weird time now, where modern audiences obsess over the "rules" of the story's universe. It's generally been a good thing, since it raised the bar for movies actually making sense. If you've never lived in a time where you could walk out of the theater angry because they gave up on the script making sense about half-way through, you're lucky. Nowadays, things are also dumbed-down too much. Subtlety is a lost art. Jokes are almost explained. Spotlights are shined on callbacks. It's the main reason haters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe exist. But, there are films over the years that ask you to just "go with it" and it will be worth it in the end. SO much talking and asking about what is happening, you almost missed the times it was trying to tell you. By the end of the movie, you weren't thinking about the rules of being a ghost in that reality. You were thinking about Ray's father. So take this as a lesson in movie-watching - sometimes, you just have to let the story drive. Stop following along with the GPS on your phone and questioning every turn. Just enjoy the ride and trust that the story will get you there.

BTW, the Bill Of Rights does not protect the idea of filling Public School Libraries with anything and everything, including Hardcore Pornography or plans for building weapons of mass destruction. School boards are given the power of discretion. That was a bug sprayer ... Oh, and those prices were THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO!!! Archibald Graham was a real M.D. who lived in Chisolm, Minnesota. He only played part of one major league inning and never got to bat. The lady reading his obit was Anne Seymour and died months before the film released. The guys talking about him in the bar really knew him. Casting an elderly Burt Lancaster as Doc Graham was a stroke of genius. 'Moonlight' Graham finally got his recognition (and Terrance Mann was a fictional character).You need to watch this again - and pay attention!

[@Reclining_Spuds]

I watched this movie for the first time with my older sister, who had seen it before, several years after it was released. Our Dad had passed about 5 years earlier. I totally didn't see what was coming before Shoeless Joe reminds Ray, " Build it and HE will come." At that moment, my sister said, "Now don't start crying." I instantly knew then what was about to happen and began crying like a baby. With every reaction video I watch, tears still come to my eyes. ⚾️

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I grew up in MA and learned about baseball from my dad, who was a lifetime Red Sox fan (as am I, even though I live in Pittsburgh now). When we watched this movie together, he loved the parts shot at Fenway and mentioned that the three guys that were selling Ray and Terence the hot dogs and beers were actually the guys who worked that concession in the 80's and not actors.

[@markalexander4884]

Guys I really like your reactions but could you tone it down just a bit? I want to see your REACTIONS. There is a lot of very loud talking and you missed a few important parts of the movie because of it.

[@FreeTheGingers]

So, after watching the reaction, I noticed multiple points where you were both critical of the choices people made and I wanted to point out some things that are just a different generational understanding of the world. Firstly, you both expressed disappointment that Ray is so reticent to share details of what is going on. Whereas today, someone sharing this might be looked at sideways or just written off, they would be locked up for lunacy in the 1980s. People of the 1980s had contradictory perspectives, nearly opposite of today. Outside of religion, people of the 1980s were incredibly skeptical of the fantastical but yet society was generally positive and believed one could achieve one's dreams. Today, people are far more likely to accept fanastical tales of ghosts or whatnot, yet few believe dreams come true. I think this is perfectly illustrated in the fact that both of you would choose not to continue following the voice, despite it leading to extraordinary outcomes. Secondly, your multiple off-hand comments about them looking up if Doc Graham was still alive or researching things.....this is pre-internet world. There was virtually zero access to public records. I realize you are both young but need to remember that the world approached things very differently, in the past. Your unbridled cynicism of what is a beautiful story bordered on mocking it; particularly close to the end with Doc Graham. It hurt my soul to see. I hope someday you can actually feel a sense of wonder in your own life. We all deserve to feel it, at least a few times in life.

[@RuntotheMovies]

Producer's note: This is the first comment on this video that expresses a viewpoint and criticism in a constructive and respectful manner. Thank you for that. In my opinion, you are entirely correct on generational differences. After publishing 200+ videos and reading hundreds of thousands of comments, I have come to believe that these differences happen with every generation. Just like people who grew up in the 2010s have different worldviews from those who were kids in the 1980s, so are the 1980s kids different from folks who were young in the 1950s, and so on. The difference may be more pronounced nowadays because of the rapid pace of technological and societal advance, but the principle has always been the same. There is a clay tablet from around 2000 BCE with a proverb complaining about the younger generation. It reads something along the lines of, "Youths are rebellious, disrespectful to their elders, and disobedient to their parents." My biggest lament here is that such a sizeable portion of viewers fail to take your approach of having a reasonable discourse and instead lash out with "You talk too much," "shut up," or the eminently creative "Gen Z is why the world is doomed."

[@denisesullivan8667]

Such a great movie! I agree with others that you missed too much with talking. You are trying to over analyze it - you will enjoy it more if you watch it again and listen to the dialogue. Also, come on girls, leave the hair alone. You look great-have a little confidence and enjoy the movie and stop fidgeting with your hair.

[@RTSOB1]

There's a special place in my heart for this movie. I grew up in Iowa (It was heaven to me then), and like the Kinsellas, I lived virtually next to a wholly created baseball field. Our house was directly across the street from a diamond shaped park that had been converted into a young boy's dream field complete with backstop. Absent a cornstalk outfield and the lights, it was where my own childhood memories were formed. I wasn't Shoeless Joe, I was Mickey Mantle and it's why I love baseball still today.

[@ronfehr7899]

I have a theory. Doc Graham was able to cross the baseline because he subconsciously decided right then to be a doctor instead of a professional baseball player. He moved from his fantasy world into the real world.

[@jwsel]

It was established earlier that the players remembered their lives. Remember the player talking about how he hadn’t smoked in the 19 years since he died? And the player who did the “I’m melting” from Wizard of Oz (a film released 20 years after the Sox threw the World Series). So young Doc probably knew he became a doctor later in his life and made the conscious decision to become his older self to save Karen. (I’ll admit it’s a little confusing why Shoeless Joe didn’t know about stadium lights since many teams played night games before he died in the 1950s.)

[@Aaron-io8vw]

There is a movie Eight men out about why the 8 white Sox players got banned.

[@sglavan]

There is a lot left unexplained in the movie, primarily to allow the audience to speculate and develop their own theories and ideas. It's necessary to suspend belief around a lot of the details and unanswered questions. Liberties are taken with historical events, real people, and even the development of the plot and interaction between characters. It is a fantasy, and some aspects defy logic. What is in the cornfield? Where did the players come from, and where do they go? Did Ray time travel when he met Doc Graham? What happened to Terrence when he followed the players into the cornfield? One theory regarding why Archie is able to crosss the barrier, becoming Doc Graham again is that his character did not originate in the cornfield, but was picked up along the highway. What are your theories about the movie's most speculated features?

[@noodle_fc]

More power to those who want to speculate, but for me, that misses the point. This movie and the field itself run on emotional truth. Anything that will satisfy a character's emotional needs becomes possible. Ray talks to Doc Graham so Graham can describe his dream brushing past like a stranger in a crowd. Then Ray and Terrence take young Graham to the field so his dream can come true. After that, he can leave the field as Doc Graham to save Karen, and he heads off completely at peace, emotionally satisfied with both his young man's dream and his lifelong calling. All of that was real because it was emotionally true for "Moonlight" Doc Graham. There aren't any set rules or constraints-that's how the real world works. The rules and logic and constraints of the real world leaves everyone with missing pieces. The field allows each character to find whatever they are missing, logic and rules be damned.

[@yelnikigwawa1845]

Ah, Ladies...... *sigh* I've watched you react to a lot of movies. But unfortunately....I didn't care for this reaction. During a fair part of the movie, and then during one of the most moving scenes in cinema, the climax of a baseball fairy tale...you two spent the whole time trying to figure out the science behind how and why everybody was there, or could see the players, or couldn't see them.... You made it into a bad science-fiction movie. You seemed to be so distracted by "figuring it out", that this very moving ending...never really moved you. Maybe it was the edit, but it seemed like you spent the ending talking, and just dropped into the movie for some dialog and some high points. I feel like you saw it, but you didn't feel it. Sorry.

Movie field is a tourist attraction since 1989. MLB assisted in building new field near movie's field. 2021's game was New York Yankees vs Chicago White Sox (team portrayed in the movie) with Chicago won 1-0. 2022's game was Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds with Red won 1-0. No games scheduled in 2023 because of construction. In this year, MLB had another game at another iconic field, Rickwood Field in Alabama.

There was a little TV movie (back when a made for TV movie was actually something) along the lines of Brian's Song called Something for Joey. It was based on a true story and has been somewhat sadly forgotten ( I don't want to post any spoilers). There is a Japanese subtitled version on KZbin and after a few minutes you kind of block out the subtitles in your head. It is well worth watching and really should be a staple of reaction channels. Lovingly acted and created, and yes you will cry with no shame :)

[@fidel2xl]

Pretty okayish reaction, ladies (I know it's a reaction channel, but the constant talking over the dialogue was getting a bit annoying tbh...lol). If you guys were paying attention instead of constantly talking over the dialogue, you would've realized earlier that Mark (the guy who was alerting them about their dire finances) is his brother-in-law (his wife's brother). He was trying to help them, not hurt them. In fact, he was going to take over the farm and allow them to stay in the house. Anyway, at the 13:58 minute mark while you were both talking over the dialogue, Shoeless Joe Jackson didn't say that he played for food money...he basically said that he love the game so much that he would play the game for just food money. In other words, he was saying that he didn't care about the money. He would have played the game for free, due to his love of the game. Also, what you said at the 20:48 minute mark about books being banned...well, for the most part, no books have been banned in the USA. The banned books debate is misleading. People have simply wanted to restrict certain adult books from underage children's classrooms --- not ban the books from society. The underage children can still get those adult books at home, or at the store etc. It's like the ratings system for movies (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X-rated etc) --- it doesn't ban the movies in society. But it merely provides a parental warning, so it's up to the parents to decide if to allow their underage kids to watch certain movies. That's what those debates are about...the debates out there are not about banning books. 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.

You ladies, ESPECIALLY Tori, will LOVE this… That’s real Iowa farmland, and the ball field still exists… preserved by the family that owns the farm. And yep, visitors come all the time! But, the BEST part: MLB built an old-timey stadium right there in the same cornfield. In 2021 they held the first Field of Dreams game there!!! The White Sox and Yankees played. Kevin Costner walked out onto the field from the corn rows, followed by the two teams. Once in a while, MLB gets it right. Very right. The video is easy to find here on KZbin…and it’ll choke you up as bad as the end of the movie!!!

Tears again. 31;51 ... "Go the distance" I completely fell apart once again. Watching this on my Birthday has made it quite special. Thank you, James Earl Jones 🌹

[@RuntotheMovies]

Happy Birthday!!! We're glad you got to spend it with us.

I love how people trying to rationalize the accuracy of bunch of ghosts playing baseball in corn field in Iowa.

Fantastic Reaction ladies! This movie hits me every time! Thank you

We really appreciate it! Thank you so much for joining us 🎬❤️

Wow. So many comments talking down to you about how you should react. That sucks. This movie is just perfect. There isn’t a single flaw in it that’s consequential. Some bits of trivia: this book is written by W.P. Kinsella. The part of Terrance Mann was written as the real reclusive writer of JD Salinger. One of Salinger’s books really did use the name of John Kinsella which novitiated Kinsella to use Salinger as a character. The real Salinger did not like the use of his likeness and threatened the movie, leading to the author being completely fictional in this version of the story. Moonlight Graham’s story is also very real. Kinsella was reading a baseball encyclopedia and saw he had just one ½ inning and no at bats, which intrigued him. He then researched his life and found out he did become a doctor. All of the stories the people in Chisholm, MN told were real stories about the real Doc Graham. I believe some, if not all, of the people in the movie might have been those actual people. Only a few minor changes were made to Graham’s story (mostly the dates). When Phil Robinson was adapting this story for this movie, he wanted to use the title of _Shoeless Joe_ but the studio objected and suggested _Field of Dreams._ When Robinson called Kinsella to tell him about the name change, Kinsella said that he wanted to call his book _Dream Field_ but was overridden by his publisher.

Thanks so much for watching with us and for all these trivia tidbits! This was such an enjoyable movie to watch and video to film. As far as the mean comments go, they don't bother us. If Mr. Spock was here, he'd say that worrying about idiots is illogical.

[@jennywren7822]

​@RuntotheMovies It seems that we've got to be on our best behaviour when commenting on here, but you can say "Worrying about IDIOTS" is ok. How does that work? My opinion. The girl messing with her hair every 2 seconds was off putting, she also has no empathy at all, smiling all the way through, amazing. The other girl, with the red cap, apart from talking to much had some empathy and ok. Ist time watching and the last tho, all too much. 😮

[@ClutchSituation]

I think this film hits Boomers and Xers particularly hard in the feels because we grew up in a time where it wasn't considered acceptable to show or even feel emotions. Especially if you are a man. It used to be said that if you wanted to see your man cry, you watch this film with him. Ya'll grew up in a generation where your emotional intelligence far outpaces older people when they were your age. Partly because your guardians recognize that their own emotional limitations weren't healthy for them. Partly because culture has shifted so that being in touch with one's emotions is far more socially acceptable than it was in the past. This film will be indelible, but it might hit certain people harder than others, depending on their emotional upbringings. You also don't have to love baseball to love this film. The baseball certainly connects with a lot of people and that's great. But people's relationships with their parents are a timeless element of the human experience. How do we deal with regret?

That line, hey Dad wanna play catch, breaks me every time.

Fun fact: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were extras in the Fenway Park crowd. For more Kevin Costner baseball movies check out For Love of the Game and Bull Durham.

Beautiful Dyserville IA. It's always amazed me this was shot in a small town middle america

[@dreams2xs]

I live 45 minutes from the field this was made. I have taken all my son's to the field to "have a catch". The field was actually built on 2 different farmers land. They both had competeing connessions on each side of the field. Evenutually investors bought both farms and unified everything. The went deeper into the corn field and actually built a regulation MLB field and put up hotels. Too commerical for me now, but I enjoyed the site before the investors bought it. In the scene where they are arguing about the books in the school, my High School banner is hanging in the back ground. I am guessing this was filmed in Dubuque, IA because it is close to the site and the HSs there were in our conference. Terrence Mann was already dead. If you recall the point where his nephew told the police he had been not answering his calls for 3 days, but Ray had been only with him for a couple days max... The actor that played John Casella lost his father 3 days before filming that final scene which added to the impact of the scene.

[@RuntotheMovies]

That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. It is ironic that in the movie they tried to not sell the farm to investors, but in real life that's what actually happened.

[@ldycemnn]

Remember... There's no crying in baseball... lol

MLB has actually played games on that field and it is magical. Great reaction. And if you promise to wear your cute jersey, Tori, I will happily buy you a hot dog and beer at a Phillies' game. You two are just a delight, keep reacting.

[@jamesgreenhow108]

I love the fact that you guys know your Baseball History and the Legends that have played this game. I like to suggest 3 tear-jerker baseball movies to watch. #1 "PRIDE OF THE YANKEES" The story of Lou Gehrig. More of a love story than baseball. #2 'AMAZING GRACE AND CHUCK" This is Little League pitcher takes on the world nuclear weapons advocates and the underworld gambling syndicate. Jamie Lee Curtis said the final scene even had the stage crew in tears. #3 A League Of Their Own. Which you might have seen already.

[@TedLittle-yp7uj]

"Pride of the Yankees" is superb.

[@RuntotheMovies]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@keithjohnson8866]

James Earl Jones has entered the cornfield for the last time. RIP! The same year this movie came out, When Harry Met Sally also came out. Another excellent movie. That movie references the movie Casablanca several times - another excellent movie to check out. The wife of the director of WHMS directed A League of Their Own and Big - two more excellent movies. The husband also directed The Princess Bride, also an excellent watch. The brother of the wife created Hapy Days in the 70's and also worked on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 60's. Her father-in-law played Sol in the Ocean's 11, 12, and 13 movies. I guess you might say they were all very talented.

[@pjbarney9580]

Fantastic movie! top 10 sports movies. top 5 baseball movies. top 10 supernatural movies. one of ten movies that make me cry no matter how many times I've seen it.

[@CraigKostelecky]

This is in my top 5 of all movies. It’s so good

[@CoryCody-v7u]

Now you have to watch Kevin Costner introduce the Field of Dreams classic between the White Sox and Yankees.

[@justindebruce5561]

Rookie of the year check it out also the sandlot. Also major League 1 and 2 hope you can react to these baseball classics

[@eddie11214]

If you like sports themed movies, Remember the Titans is a must. Much deeper than a sports movie. Also Miracle, about the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey team. I promise you’ll love both! Cool Runnings also a nice movie about Jamaican bobsled team.

[@MATTHEW-rp3kq]

that thing he was spraying out of at ray was an old time bug sprayeer

[@Tori14537]

ahhh okay!! I was so confused 😂 lol thank you for clearing that up for us

[@wolfie35p]

This is an amazing movie, and James Earl Jones was great in this, as in all of the movies he is in, and the late great Ray Liotta too, great cast, this always brings a tear to my eyes at the end too, every time. I think one of the reasons Mark couldn't see the baseball players, is because he didn't "believe", if you believe in the old time players, then anything is possible.

[@StevePaur-hf4vy]

$7 for the beer and a dog in 1989 is equal to $18 in today's price

[@dannykent6190]

Please ignore all the comments about talking too much. You both seemed reasonably astute at picking up the nuances of the film. Your discussions and questions were on point. I've seen much worse reactions. Anyone who is that bothered by talking should maybe just watch the film instead of reaction channels.

[@RuntotheMovies]

Thanks so much for watching with us and for your kind words. The mean comments don't bother us. Were Mr. Spock here, he'd say that worrying about idiots is illogical.

[@ILJtheFirst]

​@@RuntotheMoviesThey're not mean comments nor are we idiots.

[@user-bb4ig7hc9b]

People miss what Mark is doing . He convinced his partners to buy the bank note to hold on to the farm a little longer and buy Ray time. That’s why he can say “ you gotta keep this farm” and actually have some say about it.

[@lw3918]

You girls really need to do "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"

[@sailinbob11]

Only dreamers can see. Your thinking too deeply. It's a movie. Magic...

[@billverno6170]

Watching reactors getting all hung up on “the rules” and then the feels take over.

[@keithsimpson6563]

The reason there was no players coming until after winter was because baseball is not played until the spring so the guys would not come to play until then. This is something a lot of people miss or didnt catch. Plus i love to hear you guys talk it shows you are trying to understand. So keep up the good work. If you do have questions you might watch the movie again on your own time. ❤😊🎉

RIP Art LaFleur Burt Lancaster James Earl Jones and Ray Liotta the legend

Art Lafleur was also great in a little unappreciated nugget called "Air America" with Mel Gibson and a young Robert Downey Jr.

At the Red Sox game the scoreboard gave Ray another clue after the voice said "go the distance". The clue was "Archibald (Moonlight) Graham Chisholm, MN. That's why they are going to Minnesota

[@Wesleech]

This movie is perfection. Don't try to understand it. Just enjoy the ride.

[@Tori14537]

Couldn’t agree more ! ☺️

[@gregleblanc9357]

Terrence Mann's part was to go back in time and write about it so that people would come. That's why he was chosen to go out in the corn. It was his purpose

[@stevetanner3019]

One of the greatest sports fantasy movies of all time. Maybe the best but it's close, as there are some other great ones too.

[@RuntotheMovies]

We'd love to watch more!
