What a lot of people don't know is that Archibald "Moonlight" Graham was a real person. The stats given at the Red Sox game were his actual stats. He really did go back to Chisholm, Mn. and become a doctor. What's even more incredible is the three men in the bar that Terence Mann interviews were really freinds who knew Dr. Graham! And the woman at the newspaper office is reading Dr. Graham's real obituary, which she wrote!

This movie wasn't about baseball, it's about fathers and sons and so many things left unsaid. Nice to see that you two saw that as well. I'm from Iowa. About 20 years ago, I met a girl from South Africa. The only thing she knew about Iowa was from Field of Dreams. She came to the U.S. for the first time in 2003 and she talked about how much she loved this movie. She thought all movies were made in Hollywood. Later that day we went for a little drive and the look on her face was priceless when I pulled into the driveway of the farm house and field from that movie. It still stands today. That was a magical day. Three years later we got married.

Here's what I think is an example of great filmmaking: after Archie actually gets to bat and even drives in a run, he goes and sits on the bench with this big smile on his face, knowing he has finally achieved his dream. Then he turns and looks at Ray, who looks back at Archie. Archie nods his head and Ray smiles back at him. Not a word of dialogue in the scene and yet you can tell it was really Doc Graham saying "thank you" to Ray and the " you're welcome" response coming back. That's an amazing thing right there. Field of Dreams, indeed!

With the line, "Hey, Dad, you wanna have a catch?" Kevin Costner originally didn't say "Dad". Test audiences were disappointed in the lack of acknowledgment of father and son, and the word "Dad" was looped in during post-production. That really made a difference. Just by adding that "Dad" this movie caused such a stronger emotional reaction and catharsis.

I am 73 years old. This is my favorite movie of all time & I have seen a lot. In 1957, my Dad, a Police Officer, took my brother & I to Ebbits Field in Brooklyn, in 1957, to watch his Baseball heroes, the last year they played there, before they moved to Los Angeles. My Dad was a Man of few words, but as great a role model as any young Man could want. Baseball was our connection & was till he passed. I cried throughout watching this movie, as an adult & when Ray asked John, ''hey Dad, wanna have a catch''? I feel apart sitting in the theater. I think I scared my date. When I explained myself, she threw her arms about me & cried with me. I was no less emotional, watching your sweet reaction, then I was some 34 years ago, sitting in that dark theater.

My dad got to meet the actor Dwier Brown that played John Kinsella. He got his autograph on a baseball for me and one for my brother. I wasn’t able to visit my dad in 2020 because of the pandemic. He got cancer. I visited my dad in January of 2021 when he got released from the hospital. I visited him in August for 10 days.

The pain that needs easing is not Ray's, it is his father's. "If you build it, he will come", "ease his pain", and "go the distance" were all "instructions" for Ray to do for his father. If he builds the field his dad will come and play, he needs to ease his dad's pain caused by their fight, and he needs to go the distance and reconnect/make amends with his dad. When Shoeless Joe says "it was you" he's saying "the voice wasn't my voice, it was yours." The voice IS Ray.

We threw the baseball back and forth for a while and I was remembering the movie...looking back, playing catch with my dad was a wonderful memory.

Something fun this year is Major League Baseball decided to do a recreation of this game. Yankees played the White Sox in 1919 style uniforms, and played in the same small park that was used in this movie. The game was a huge success, ended on a walkoff, and was the most watched MLB game in 16 years. Most people want them to continue the Field of Dreams game

A fact that makes the final scene with Ray meeting his father even more emotional... the actor playing Ray's father (Dwier Brown) filmed his one scene shortly after his own father's funeral. He says that while his emotions were too fresh and painful, it added so much to the scene he decided to soldier through it. And THANK GOD he did - it adds so much power. Dwier Brown is the living example of "no small parts" in a movie - he's in the movie for maybe 5 minutes and it's the defining role of his career.

I studied and continue to study cinema; built and left a career in making films and commercials. I now write, always seeking inspiration. I have just spent the better part of two days watching your channel and have two things I want to say here in the comments. Firstly, thank you... This form of entertainment is magnificent in allowing people like me to relive "the first time," and it works. It really does. I have spent the last two days in thrills, spills, shock, tears and laughter with you (guys) as I did each time watching these magical expressions of cinema-art for the first time - some on the big screen when released, some on the small screen when necessary. Thank you again and please keep going! Delve as deep as you can... there are oceans of genre and global film culture that I am excited for you to swim in... Secondly, and this is a testament to the success of your sharing of authentic self with the world... It is deeply inspiring to experience your natural expressions of love of the little ones, no matter what form they appear as on the canvas. This part of you has been apparent in every single response to a scene that a child has appeared in, whether Braveheart, Die Hard, Field of Dreams, Aliens, Unforgiven, etc, et al. As a childless man who was abused and hurt as a child by people who couldn't and didn't know any better, I thank you for your loving example. From an exceptionally early age, I sought solace and safety in the escape cinema offered... starting and building a relationship with the art and artists that continues today. To some of us (at the very least, to me) a movie is not "just a movie" and a child not simply a child.

This is probably my favorite movie ever. As a born and raised Iowa farm girl it was such a joy to see a movie portray Iowa as a beautiful place. The sunset shots of the field are spectacular. Interestingly, this was shot in 1988 during one of the most horrific droughts in decades! The movie crew had to figure out how to not only grow corn but keep it alive and looking green and healthy during the worst conditions possible. And it was blazing hot that summer so it must have been miserable shooting. I love everything about the movie and it stills makes me cry EVERY time. “Hey Dad, wanna have a catch?” always gets me! The score is also so beautiful. The field still exists and is iconic to see. I’ve been there twice. I had a huge crush on Kevin Costner in those days - the peak of his career.

I always took the Moonlight Graham character to demonstrate that your biggest wish isn't necessarily the same as your life's purpose. Archie Graham became a doctor and built a life that he truly loved and as he said "if I'd only gotten to be a doctor for 10 minutes, THAT would've been a tragedy." One of my favorite Burt Lancaster roles. Getting to play with his idols for a while is a reward for living a full and vigorous life. In the end though, he just really wants to go home to Alicia.💖

Many of them were men that had bad relationships with their fathers and the ending hit home with them.

I wonder if they knew that Moonlight Graham was played by legendary actor Burt Lancaster. 🤔

Apparently the original title for the film was going to be “Shoeless" (after the book which was called Shoeless Joe” but test audiences didn’t like it because they said it sounded like a movie about a bum or hobo. In the end Universal decided to go with the title Field of Dreams, so the director called W.P. Kinsella, the author of the book, to tell him the "bad" news, but apparently he didn't care, saying that "Shoeless Joe" was the title the publishing company gave the book. Kinsella's original title was "Dream Field".

The editing in this video is fantastic, you can easily follow the film in this abridged version even if you'd never seen it before.

Thanks for this! The actual Field of Dreams is still there, located on the same farm in Dyersville, Iowa where the movie was filmed. It's a big tourist attraction for people from all over the world. I remember going there as a kid, running the bases and walking into the corn. They also occasionally have all-star games, and collegiate and high school tournaments there. Such a classic movie!

I just love how whimsical and magical this film is. Always gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.

Well done on the video editing. I hope others appreciate the work you put into it. You had both of you in one bubble, then switch to two circles and still show unbroken uncensored movie scenes. :) keep up the good work, love the reactions

In the last shot, where you see all of the cars on the road, they made it look like they were moving by having them flash their bright lights on and off. The only cars that were moving were the ones close to the field. After filming the farmer plowed the field to plant more corn. A side not here, the field was only green paint, as the sod they had planted needed people to stay off of it for at least three weeks. The director and producer both said, yeah, that's not going to happen, we need to be on the field tomorrow. So, when the sod died, they painted it green to make it look like grass. But it's a very good movie. 😎😎😍😍😁😁😀😀

This is one of my favorite films of all time. One of the few films I can watch over and over again and it never loses anything. The movie is pure joy for me.

Heads up Carly, Shoeless Joe's glove looks weird because that's how baseball gloves looked back in 1915. manufacturer of the glove hadn't been refined as yet, and to be authentic to the character they used the glove Shoeless joe would have used. Since he's from the past he never saw modern glove or stadium lights. He even asks Kevin Costner/ Ray about it when they first start playing.

Burt Lancaster is one of my all time favorite actors. He was actually my first Classic Hollywood movie crush-I saw The Crimson Pirate when I was around 12 years old on Sunday afternoon tv in the ‘70s. He was such a hunk in that film! Tight leggings, bare chest, gymnastic moves, charisma just pouring out of him, yeah, he was so fine. Then to find out how amazing his acting ability was just put the cherry on top!

One of Burt Lancaster's final roles was an incredible charmer called "Local Hero", in which he plays a rather eccentric oil tycoon. Although he is in a supporting role, Lancaster absolutely creates the biggest smiles in his scenes. I do not believe I have seen a better movie in terms of character development and a special warm quirkiness. A great movie to check out when all you want to do is sit on the couch (or bed) and chill.

Every grown man sheds tears watching this film. It's different for a man, it's hard to explain. PS: Burt Lancaster's scene, by God if it wasn't worth an Oscar nomination

I have watched this movie numerous times and have always enjoyed it. My dad past in 1982 when I was seventeen. But watching you two react to this movie and your emotions made me emotional too. Thank you as it made me cry for only the second time about my father's passing. I needed it. Bless both of you and your beautiful spirits.

It is hard to explain what this movie means to men. Fathers are so important and to often we don't recognize how important. To hear your father say, "I am proud of you" or "I love you" is so precious to a young man. My father never heard those words from my grandfather so he was adamant that I would know it every moment of my life. When my boys were little I told them over and over to remember this one thing, no matter what Dad loves you. I hope and pray that I have taught them to be strong, firm, full of grace and care for others, to stand for truth and work to be better each day the way my Dad taught me. Still play catch with them as well.

"Dances With Wolves" may not be a perfect movie, but it's one of my favorites - excellent and definitely EPIC, with amazing cinematography and a solid, heartfelt story. Costner not only starred in it, but also directed and produced.

This will probably be suggested a lot, but you both should react to “A League of Their Own,” if you haven’t already. It’s a fun, funny, touching film about two sisters who play in the women’s professional baseball league in the 1940s (a real but short-lived league based in the midwest during WW2). Tom Hanks plays their manager.

This is one movie where grown men well up with tears in the end if you've played sports with your dad. No matter how many times I've seen it, and its been dozens, it gets me every time. So its kind of ironic that these girls don't get as emotional about the end and all the magical parts of this movie as men do. They were trying to figure out the farm thing and missing the magic and dreams of the ending happening. And that music....perfect.

'Field of Dreams' is so beautifully written. It's one of those movies that seems to assume that the audience is smart and can make creative connections without being spoon fed everything. Glad you two enjoyed it so much.

I'm not a baseball fan but I love this movie. Besides the ending, where he asks his dad if he wants to have a catch, the scene that gets me, is when Doc steps across the line and Ray says, "Oh my God, you can't go back".

"I love him." "From what?" "I don't know."

Father's and sons playing catch is a special bonding moment between the two and will always be remembered. Baseball is a great game that many love. I played baseball as a kid too and bonded with my teammates. I was so proud of Cassie when she knew what a southpaw was and that James Earl Jones was the voice of Vader.

Watching you both react in such loving and joyous ways made me cry joyful tears again. You both got so much right and had such good takes - better than I did my first time.

I will be watching more of your reactions because this one really touched me. A heartfelt thanks! TT

A beautiful tidbit: what Moonlight Graham accomplished in the night game was called a "sacrifice fly" and statistically does not count as an at bat. After his sacrifice to save Karen the next day his record book would still show 0 AB.

They were supposed to play in 2020 but it got moved to this year. The Cubs and Reds are playing in 2022. I hope they make this a regular thing and have Athletics and Detroit soon so that the greatest ball player of all time, Ty Cobb, can finally show up. Also, Kenesaw Mountain Landis was a potato.

So, this film won several academy awards. And, Mark, played by Timothy Busfield is married to Melissa Gilbert. Tim created a small theater company in our hometown. He might even own a residence here as well because he spends so much time at the theater. He played in two VERY popular TV series, Thirtysomething and Westwing.

Nice reaction ladies. As someone who grew up in a baseball family, all the boys and our Dad played and coached it, there is no way to get through the ending without feeling the melancholy joy and fantasy of playing catch with your Dad in a different time. What a classic.

Kevin Costner was huge movie star. All the ladies love him. Always a favorite of mine. He has many films from the 80’s, 90’s. This movie is the most magical movie if u love Baseball or played it.

In the final scene I was not prepared for Ray seeing the ghost of his father, like most men in the theater. I choked up instantly and could not look at my wife at all. As we were leaving, trying to hide my tears, my wife said, "Don't worry, I've never heard so many men's sniffles in a movie theater in my life."

the field is still there and it should be a bucket list destination for everyone it is very cool. Stopped there with my boys years ago and had a catch.

Another favorite of mine. My favorite story about this movie goes like this: After director Phil Alden Robinson screened the movie for the studio they loved it, but they didn't want to call it Shoeless Joe. So Robinson had to go back to author Kinsella to explain that the studio wanted to call it Field of Dreams. Kinsella started to laugh. He explained that he never wanted to call it Shoeless Joe, the publisher forced him to. He wanted to call the book Dream Field. I don't care if it's true, I love that story. Other good sports movies are The Natural, Rudy and Eight Men Out (which is the actual story of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Black Sox).
