Field of Dreams (1989)
Based on the novel
“Shoeless Joe” this film from director Phil Alden Robinson stars
Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones, Amy Madigan, Ray Liotta and Burt
Lancaster. A mysterious voice urges a farmer to cut down his crop and
build a baseball field.
Baseball and baseball
history feature heavily in this film but like all the best sports
films familiarity with the sport is not required to enjoy this film.
The film does a good job at looking at the positive effect sport can
have on people, mainly through dreams and reconciliation. There are
some good performances and the special effects mostly hold up really
well, the best parts being how the players disappear into the fields
of corn.
5/5
