There is something about baseball that moves us. Perhaps it’s baseball’s timelessness and history, which converge to make it a sentimental game. Field of Dreams captures that sentimentality without entering the realm of the cheesy or melodramatic.
But Field of Dreams isn’t just a baseball movie. At its core, it’s a film about redemption and forgiveness that uses a great game to tell its story.
My favorite scene? When Ray (Kevin Costner), his voice cracking, asks his dad if he wants to “have a catch.” I don’t want to reveal more than that for those of you who haven’t seen it. If you haven’t seen it, please do so. You won’t be sorry.
