RIP Ray Liotta and Burt Lancaster. Both gave marvelous performances here. One of my favorite movies ever.
Mary - "He's got a great voice" without realizing that's the voice of Darth Vader.
The same but not the same, i laughed when she said it could be a crime thriller in her introduction.
As soon as she said that I headed to the comment section. Yours is the first one and that makes me happy. 😅
And Mufasa.
Let's be specific, he is James Earl Jones and the voice of Darth Vader.
@@geraldtodd6633 and Mufasa!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the very few movies men will leave the theater with tears in their eyes and face. Even to this day, it still affects me. Many sons would love to have that one final perfect moment with their dads before letting them go. Sometimes remembered conversations we had with our dads will hit us like a brick. The last thing my Dad ever said to me was "It's up to you to take care of Mom now." My father's been dead for 14 years. But that last thing he said to me still hits me hard today. Like...right now. 8-( I didn't have to take care of my Mom for very long. She passed 3 months later.
Thank you, Mary, for sharing this experience with us. This is one movie that never gets old and holds up even after all these years.
"One of the very few movies men will leave the theater with tears in their eyes and face" One of, not one of the few. Lots of men have, you know... emotions. Emotions they aren't afraid of, or afraid to show.
Daughters also have this link to their Dad's. We watched the Saturday game of the week and then went out to play catch
I cry like a baby every time at the end...I miss my Dad
16:39 "I'm not married to the biggest horse's ass in three counties." Every time I hear this, I want Annie to reply "No, but your husband is!"
After all the times I've seen this, I still tear up when Ray meets his father.
Mary, if you really want to understand the role baseball played in shaping American culture in the 20th century, you should check out Ken Burns' great nine-part Baseball documentary. It's a must-watch for any fan and, for the baseball novice, a good introduction to the game, and how it came to be known as "America's pastime".
Anyone interested in baseball, American history, and wholesome goodness should read 'Last Days of Summer' by Steve Kluger. My heart.
I still have Ken Burns’ documentary on VHS but no device to play it on.
The story goes that the "voice" actually was actor Ed Harris. He was already then married to Amy Madigan, Kevin Costner's wife in the film.
@@JuandeFucaU Kyle MacLachlan?
I saw this in a small town Iowa theater. None of the farmers laughed at the line about hearing voices in the field.
Most people's big moment is the playing catch at the end, but mine is when Doc walks off the field to help the little girl. It just gets me on so many levels.
I've been watching this movie since I was a little kid. It was my parent's favorite. I still cry at that ending scene. Every. Single. Time.
Kevin Costner's voice crack at the line "do you want to have a catch?" just destroys me.
Ray's baseball field takes up about 1.5 acres. (.006 sq km). That's a lot of corn that he won't be able to sell, and on which he already spent the time and money to plant. Add to that the money he spent on turning over his field, grass seed, irrigation, fertilizer, running electricity out to the field, putting in the telephone poles and 4 enormous light fixtures.
Mark is sort of painted as a villain here, but he's really trying to help. The bank is about to foreclose on Ray's mortgage, which means they will be evicted. Mark and his legal partners are offering to buy deed to the farm from the bank. Ray and Annie won't be on the deed anymore, but at least they can still live there and earn a living farming the land.
By the way, ironically, the actor who played Mark- Timothy Busfield- was a baseball player in his younger days. He played at the college level but had to quit due to an injury. He later starred in a film called Little Big League (1994) where he played a professional baseball player, alongside other REAL professional baseball payers.
Where I'm from 19.8 km² is the area of a large town; or a small city.
@@uncommon_niagara1581 You're right, wayyyy off. I converted wrong. I fixed it.
Most of the farms I know have that much land lying unused.
Great reaction to an awesome movie, Mary. 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.
This is a hard movie to explain but it is a very good story. Underused actress Amy Madigan aka Kevin's wife in this movie.
In American culture for many men, not all, baseball and golf are the two sports that bind father and son. Baseball when young and golf when your dad is about to leave. Yoy play golf with the old man and he tells you things he never shared before. He's saying goodbye to you in his own way. These two sports create the most vivid memory of who your father was. In 2019 my dad passed away at age 90. He never once told me outwardly that he loved me. Because we played together, he never had to.
I actually was in that line of cars at the end.
Awesome! I read that the cars were directed to intermittently flip the headlights off and back on to help sell the illusion they were all in motion.... is that correct?
Were the cars actually heading to “the” field. I had always thought it was cars on their way to a real ball game at night but with all but the field itself in temporary blackout.
@@michaeljacyna1973 Cars with one set of lights did that. My Pontiac had two sets. I was instructed to leave mine alone.
@@davemcbroom695 cool!
That's a real place today. 20 years ago I went there and played catch and pitched to the kids. I handed over my money and it was a great memory.
41:10. Those are real cars driven by local volunteers.
I saw this movie in theaters as a teenager. At the end the full theater was sobbing. I’ve seen this movie probably 20 times since, and I’m not even a baseball fan. But it makes me cry every single time. And we’re talking big fat tears.❤️😢
Im from Iowa, btw. You can visit this farm today. Ive been there twice. I once read a research article that the two activities most conducive to building family relationships are fishing and baseball.
Did you go in the house? I was in the house, but I don't know if you can do that anymore.
@jonalberts980 no. The time I was there it was still owned by the two farmers. My daughter went a couple years ago and I do t believe the house was open.
in every culture there is a bonding game between son/daughter and father that involves a ball going back and forth.
*GREAT reaction, Mary! Thank you for sharing it with us. Cheers!* ☺🙂
The father of Dwier Brown (Rays Father) actually passed while he was filming this. So you can imagine the emotions he felt.
I’m always interested to see how reactors from across the pond respond to all the baseball in this movie. It was also interesting how Mary immediately understood the Eva Braun reference while most American reactors never bat an eye.
Heart warming, right?
This movie still gets to me after all these years.
Thank Mary.
Great Reaction Mary !! Here in America A Lot of Baseball Fans will Watch this Movie every Spring before the Start of the Baseball Season
2:05 "It's actually cool to see if you're sitting that high." My favorite seat is always close to the field and home plate. As close as I can get without going bankrupt! I bring my digital camera and take lots of good photos. Also, the sounds of the game are loud and clear, especially when the batter hits a home run. The sound of the bat crushing the ball is epic!
Great reaction to an all time classic!
As someone who lost his dad to cancer a couple of years ago, this movie hits even harder now, but it hit me hard as the callous teen that I was when it came out. After first seeing this I started trying to understand my dad better so I could relate to him better, which was quite the change from my previous attitude towards all things. I like to think that this movie helped me establish a better relationship with my dad from my late teens/early twenties on so I wouldn't have a lifetime of regrets like Ray.
Along those lines, Dwier Brown, who played John Kinsella, wrote a book called "If You Build It..." which deals with the movie, and the reactions and conversations he has had with people whose lives were touched and shaped by this movie like mine were. He also talks about the ways the movie changed his own relationship with his father. Good stuff and a great read. Also: may require tissues.
James Earl Jones is fantastic here, but when is he not? He delivers some poignant lines that cut to the depths of how we feel, but that is true of many of the characters, from Shoeless Joe to Doc Graham.
And another thing is the unspoken message revealed in the character of Mark, Annie's brother. He, and the rest of Annie's family, seem to have given up on dreaming and dreams, and that is why they cannot see the baseball players early on in the movie. Like so many of us, the harsher parts of life seem to have made it impossible for Mark to dream. But something can come along, like accidentally causing his much loved niece to plummet off the top of the bleachers and suddenly fiercely hoping that she's okay, that can shock us out of the blinded malaise that we can fall into, only seeing what we have to do to get the next food pellet on the other side of the maze like a rat in a lab.
And, to give Mark credit, once he has hopes and can see the players there's no doubt, no argument, no trying to keep the blinders on. Once he sees the dream for himself, he is 100% on Team Ray. "Don't sell this farm, Ray. Don't sell this farm."
I love as well how when Terry goes into the field, right before he vanishes you hear his laughter rise to a higher timbre, as if in his transition into whatever is out there he is made young again, returning once again to be the kid who dreamed of playing at Ebbets Field. There are moments in life that can make us feel like that again: young, alive, and willing to dream. This unexpected trip helped Terry recapture that feeling he'd lost, like Mark, in his life of just focusing on the next food pellet in the working maze.
I've seen this movie at least a hundred times since it first came out, and I cried the first time and I still cry now.
Personal story: My maternal grandfather was born in 1897, and when he graduated from high school in 1916 (a year late because he missed an entire year of high school while fighting and recovering from tuberculosis, which was usually fatal then) he did more exploring of the possibilities and his dreams than immediately buckling down to work. One of the things he did was what young Archie talked about in the car: playing on a town team where they'd find you a job that'd let you practice and play with the local baseball team. He also later joined a small traveling circus and became a juggler. My mom still has his juggling pins from over a hundred years ago at her house. When we'd go visit them as kids I remember sitting on the steps of his semi-finished basement and watching him tinker with whatever project he was working on (he ended up being a machinist though he was equally skilled at woodwork) while we'd listen to Chicago baseball games on his transistor radio. Even in his older years he'd do things that I couldn't. Their house was at the base of a steep road up to the top of a ridge, and he'd walk up the steep hill to the top of the ridge and for miles on the ridgetop trails daily with their dog. I remember being sixteen or seventeen and in pretty good shape and walking with him one day (he was 71 when I, his first grandchild, was born, so he was 87 or 88 at this time) when, during our conversation, he stopped, stooped down, picked up three decent sized pieces of gravel off of the roadside, and then continued our walk, him juggling the three rocks flawlessly while looking at me the entire time, me huffing and puffing up the steep road and him talking just as smoothly as if he was sitting in his rocking chair at the house. When he got tired of juggling he caught the three rocks and then casually dropped them back by the roadside. People of that era were wildly different from my generation and later generations too. That was reflected in this movie, and in the dreams that people held on to.
Dream more and do more.
A beautiful reaction, Mary. Thank you.
As I'm sure other commenters have already told you, men who see this movie (especially men who have lost their fathers) sob like babies when they (we) get to the end of the film. All of the "dreams" in this film -- Joe's, Terry's, Ray's -- are wishes to undo the past, to rewrite history, to live the life we rejected or foolishly squandered or never got the chance to taste. It is a deep longing that makes me think of Kierkegaard's famous observation that "[l]ife can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
Field of Dreams was all about second chances. Everyone got their chance to do something again that they regretted once in their life, including Ray playing catch with his father. Shoeless Joe Jackson got to play again. Terrance Mann got to find peace and write again (yes he was probably already dead the whole time - lol). Moonlight Graham got to bat and wink at a major league pitcher. My favorite all time movie. I still cry at the end every time!
I loved your reaction! I knew you would enjoy this, you were so into it right from the start, as usual really intuitive and emotional reaction.😀👍
Mary that field is still there and Major League Baseball play a actual game in a slightly bigger field they built right next to it. You can visit the original field as well.
I'm from Iowa, and my favorite baseball team has always been the Chicago White Sox. I can't watch this movie without tearing up every time.
I live very near to where the field of dreams is and I love our early summer and fall. The rest of the year... I'd trade in.
Love seeing you reacted to this classic. Great reaction Mary! This one always pulls at my heart strings too.
In 2001 Major League Baseball played a game at this field between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees. They had Costner introduce the game and the players took the field by walking out of the corn in the outfield. It was cool. I think it's on TH-cam.
It was so much fun to watch your reaction to this wonderful movie. Good job, too, on guessing the young hitch hiker was the younger version of the doctor!
I already knew I couldn't watch this movie without bawling like a baby. Now I know I can't watch a reaction video about it without doing so either.
That ballfield is a little over an hour drive from where I live. I've only visited it once, though. Dyersville, Iowa is also where the only rural basilica is located.
“I’m melting! I’m melting!” is a Wizard of Oz reference. Watch THAT movie if you haven’t yet.
It's what we're good at in our best moments.
what if you started hearing a voice, but instead of it being mysterious whispers, it sounded like mary, and it just snorted and laughed at you, while you were trying to concentrate
I watch this movie every year on Father's Day. Like so many other American men (and others), there's nothing I wouldn't give to be able to play catch with my father one last time.
Absolutely love this movie, I went to Dyersville, IA to see the field, I went to early and the corn wasn't growing, so it lacked a lot of the feel. FYI, I also went to the 2 museums in town and found out that Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson were good friends.
I look forward to playing catch with my father. That girl is my mother in 1932 at her field of dreams.. I rode the tractor with my mom's cousin in 1965.
Young Archie Graham hit a “sacrifice fly”, which scored a run.
There were fewer than two outs, and a base runner was on 3rd base. Archie hit a fly ball to the outfield.
The base runner stayed on 3rd base, and the second the outfielder caught the ball (for an out), the base runner ran for home and beat the throw. If the catcher gets the ball quickly, he can tag the runner OUT before he gets to home plate.
I feel bad for Archie. His dream was to get a hit, even being called safe sliding into a bag, not just to get an RBI lol
"Such a big house and so much land..." I hear ya on that. I live in Minnesota and the dream is to one day get myself a house on 40 acres ( 16.18 hectares) consisting of a bit of open field with the rest wooded. See some places pop up for $250,000-300,000 USD, which is beyond my means, but it doesn't stop me from looking and dreaming.
I LOVED your reaction to this wonderful movie! Hope you little one is fairing well Mary!
'Hey. Dad...? Do ya wanna have a catch?'
😢😪 tears every time.
What person doesn't want a little more time with a parent who has passed away?
Loved this reaction Mary. This is my new favorite reaction to this out of all the others ive watched on here, and there are some really good ones out there.The final scene of them playing catch is what firmly cemented this movie in former little boys hearts, as we all long for just one more game of catch with our dad. Totally cool how you were reading the room with the big reveals with rays dad. James Earl Jones (Terrance Mann, also the voice of darth vader) is in another top tier baseball themed movie called The Sandlot, after seeing how this movie touched you i know you will love that movie also. Its a 10 on both the wholesome and comedy scales, highly recommend.
P.S. doc graham was played by one of the greatest movie actors of the 20th century, Burt Lancaster, it was his final role on screen.
The daughter is also in "Uncle Buck", also "Waterworld" is an ok Costner flick😉
This was filmed in my state. I've seen the field. This movie was a big deal to people in Iowa.
14:31....i´m melting, i'm melting.....😂😂😂.....Mary ficou confusa com a fala do filme, uma vez que tinha acabado de dizer a mesma coisa....😂😂😂....a fala do filme é uma referencia a uma cena de O Mágico de Oz....
This little girl actor is so precious. She's also in Uncle Buck. Buck is going to take her and her brother to the race track but he looks at her and he just can't bring himself to do it. What a scene.
Hello Mary, I am glad that you get to watch this baseball movie. As the venerable Chico Escuela often stated " Basebol has been berry, berry good to me. " Now that you seen the " Field of Dreams " you will be able to see that other baseball movie " Brewster's Millions ". Thank you.
Love your reactions. This movie makes me cry every single time
Doc Graham was played by the legendary Burt Lancaster. Someday I hope you react to his movies “From Here to Eternity,” “Elmer Gantry,” and one of his later movies, “Atlantic City.”
Loved your reaction and always enjoy watching this movie. I followed baseball because my dad was into it, a big Tigers fan, but after he passed I lost track of the sport but once in a while I will catch a game.
I mean, I have no attachment to baseball whatsoever, but this movie has always hit me in all the right places feelswise ever since the first time I saw it the first week it came out on VHS. I had no idea what it was about, but it sucked me right in and never let go. I think one of the reasons it works so well is that it does emotion, without ever getting melodramatic or cheesy. These feel like real people, having sincere feelings and that's actually pretty hard to do right.
If you build it, he will come.
Kevin Costner is a great moviemaker and storyteller. Field of Dreams is a modern fairy-tale to me, i like this movie, it has a lot of magic and a great cast!
Well done to pick this for a movie reaction, thumbs up 👍
Such a great film.
I've seen this movie 50+ time's, it makes me cry every time. I haven't watched baseball since 1998.
I had a bat nearly fly into my face. I had to duck. Lucky I saw it coming. But no one threw the bat, it was just flying on its own.
I was recently at the park, thinking, "Why do Frisbees look so big when they come near?".... and then it hit me.
In the same year this was made: Dead Poets Society, Uncle Buck and When Harry met Sally.
Mary, your little snort when you laugh puts a smile on my face
Ty
Like a female Arnold Horshack! 😀
The movie the little girl was watching that the dad turned off was called "Harvey" it is a wonderful movie that you should react to with Jimmy Stewart 1949 or 50 I believe. His co-star Josphine Hull won a best supporting actress and the original play by Mary Chase a Pulitzer Prize.
And that movie shares major themes with Field of Dreams -- undoubtedly the reason they picked it.
American football is somewhat similar to rugby, with the tackling and getting into the endzone. But it's also really different with like 20,000 rules.
This can be categorized as a magical mystical spirituality movie with Americanism at the heart of it. It's designed to make Americans feel good.
Now, having said the cynical things above, this is one of my favorite movies.
I don't think what you said was cynical, celebrating a shared culture is a good thing and we should do it more. Its a great movie because it does that, and because it can bring everyone together. Even if you don't love baseball, its hard not to feel the romanticism of its history and the people who love it.
Eight Men Out is a movie about Shoeless Joe and his Chicago White Sox team and why many of them were banned from baseball.
If you're looking for another legal drama movie I would highly suggest 'The Rainmaker' (1997). Many lawyers have mentioned that this is among one of the most realistic lawyer movies out there. You'll get to see some really shady trial tactic and the struggle for a new lawyer to succeed.
That, was a perfect reaction to this amazing movie!
R.I.P. James Earl Jones
Mary, if you're up for another baseball movie- please try Eight Men Out (1988). It's about "Shoeless" Joe's team that Ray was talking about- the 1919 Chicago White Sox. They accepted bribe money from gamblers to lose the World Series on purpose because they were being underpaid by the team's owner.
The World Series is the championship series of games for Major League Baseball. The two best teams play a series of games. Back then it was best of 9. First team to win 5 games are the champions.
Ray explains that, although Shoeless Joe accepted the money, he played very well and didn't do anything to cause them to lose. He committed no errors, and his batting average was .375. (anything over .300 is really good).
I always cry watching this movie ❤
Thanks for watching the greatest movie ever made.
Really, she didn't fall that far. I fell out of a tree house once when I was about her age and it was much higher than that. I had the wind knocked out of me and for a few seconds I couldn't even cry, but I wasn't hurt that bad, I didn't even break anything.
You are so sweet.
Thank you for another beautiful reaction❤❤❤
Hello from Iowa Mare, much love❤ yes it's thats beautiful
When I need a good cry I watch this movie.
People will come, Ray... right now. And we dont have one porta potty in sight.
At least they have a bathroom or two in the house.
Worth visiting the real-life ballpark next time you come out to the U.S.
Of course, Terrance Mann has a great voice it's the voice of Mufasa and Darth Vader
Everyone cries at Field of Dreams
Surely someone has mentioned this, but I read pretty far down and never saw it. Major League Baseball plays a game at this field every season. The players take the field from out of the corn.
I loved Annie. She was a great character.
What a reaction! This was a great watch! 😢
Hahahaha! Did u say u were behind the girl that was “smacking”?! Batting, Mari! Lol Smacking. Adorable.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
I thought baseball was big in the Netherland Antilles?
A perfect movie
You should react to Harvey. Jimmy Stewarts favorite movie, more than Its a Wonderful Life.
3:14 - Tell me you're from Belgium without telling me you're from Belgium. 😁
"What a big house." What's Belgian about that?
@@Isaac-ff9iz I know that. I asked why it would be specific to Belgium.
I hope she figures out that Kevin is the same guy from Dancing with Wolves:) She feels like he is familiar...keep going, Mary!
So glad to watch this....I think Mary will LOVE IT TOO!
This was actually her first Kevin Costner movie from years ago (notice the old apartment). In her _Dances with Wolves_ reaction (@4:20), she was like _"OMG, that's the guy from Field of Dreams!_ When she said that, I was like _"WHAT? She saw Field of Dreams? Well, break it out, Mary. What're you waiting for? 🤣"_ Now, it's finally here. True story.😄
@@theflyingfisherman7829 OHHH! Makes sense now that she didn't know him. Mary is usually spot on with actors/or at least recognizing that she has seen them before.
I love her "Dances with Wolves" reaction too..She appreciates the story and the great location shots of the land!
Thanks for letting me know:)
@@theflyingfisherman7829 Remember when the guy goes, "I'm melting, I'm melting"..Mary seemed like she didn't get the reference to "Wizard of OZ", and if this was before she saw that..maybe that is why???? ( Just checked her Wizard of OZ reaction was about 1 year ago--mystery solved, I think!
@@in8hope617 I think you're talking about Jack Nicholson in _Batman_ when Kim Basinger throws water in Joker's face and he's like _"I'm melting! I'm melting!"_ @21:43 in the reaction. Yea, the _Batman '89_ react was very recent. And I just checked her _Wizard of Oz_ reaction, she did that one in the old apartment way back in 2022. So, _Wizard of Oz_ came first. She just didn't get the _Wizard of Oz_ melting witch reference in _Batman '89_ probably cuz it's been so long in between.
But she did recognize some _Wizard of Oz_ references in other movies like in _Hacksaw Ridge_ when they're at the battlefield climbing the rope netting and Vince Vaughan says _"We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy"_ (@18:59 to 19:16 in the reaction). And in _Office Space,_ when Jennifer Aniston is wearing a piece of flair with the ruby slipper on it that says _"We're not in Kansas anymore"_ @10:24 in the reaction. She was so proud when she got those references. It was super cute.😄
@@in8hope617 In her _Wayne's World_ reaction, Shanelle Riccio didn't pick up on a _Psycho_ reference, when Garth hums the music from the iconic shower scene as he's stabbing "Mr. Donut Head Man". And she watched _Psycho_ only like 6 months beforehand. I was a little disappointed in her.🤣
*Eva Braun* It's sad, that at the time this movie was made.. Most Americans didn't know or care who she was..
Just like today.. Americans still aren't taught HISTORY at school, other than American History.
World History to them, is a combination of what they watch on TV & Movies and TH-cam.
They remade it in real life and they use it to play professional games
I hate sports. Like, all sports. Hate sports movies even more. But Field Of Dreams? Every single time the hair stands up on my neck, and I end up crying like a baby. This movie was something special!
It's not even really about sports. Baseball is just a backdrop for the theme. It could've been anything
Is this an old recording?? The set is old one w/ couch in the back.
Yeah, it was previously a Patreon exclusive she decided to release for us on TH-cam
I always wondered, if they are sitting on the first base side, why are they at a concession stand behind third base?
There are many entrances into the ballpark and depending on where you park your car (if driving) will determine where you enter.
That's the one with no lines. 😂
For the mighty algorithm gods 🍻
Got your back, lets get this thread going like the wave
Sports were never a big thing for me or my dad, so I was bored by this movie the first time I saw it -- but the older I get, the more it touches me as I understand that the "sport" part isn't what really matters.
“Dad…..you wanna have a catch?” I admit it, every time…like a baby.
Ditto bud, ever since my dad passed it hurts deep.
Back in 1989, every single screening of this film in theaters saw huge numbers of grown men above 20 crying like 4 year olds when that line was heard. Pretty much any guy who had ever played catch with his dad or had bonded through baseball was sniffling and wiping away tears when he left the theater.
Likewise. I still have vivid memories of the last time I had a catch with my father; 50 years ago. This movie gets me. Every time.
@@RetroClassic66I saw it in the theater with some friends when it came out. One of my friends had lost her mother unexpectedly several months earlier. She was a mess at the end of the film. As much as it's about the connection between fathers and sons, it transcends to all people who have lost someone whom they'd like one more moment of a shared experience with them. Timeless...
Yes, that part of the movie is rough....
my Dad passed away when I was only 4 ❤
and I'd give anything for a game of catch with him.
My Dad was a local baseball star, and I have his scrap book with all of the newspaper clippings.
I do love this movie. I miss my Dad, but the ending really wrecks me 💔
