CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After Roy (Robert Redford) breaks his bat, Bobby Savoy(George Wilkosz), the bat boy, brings out his own crafted bat to use named the Savoy Special.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The film version of The Natural pulls off the neat trick of conveying the spirit of the Bernard Malamud novel upon which it is based, even while changing both the outcome and the meaning of Malamud's closing chapters. In his first film appearance in four years, Robert Redford plays Roy Hobbs, a farm boy with a hankering to be a great baseball player. With his faithful homemade bat "Wonderboy" in hand, Roy heads to the big city. En route, he arouses the fascination of the mysterious Harriet Bird (Barbara Hershey). Luring the boy to a hotel room, Harriet asks Roy what he wants out of life. Roy brashly responds he wants to be "the best there is," whereupon Harriet whips out a gun and shoots Roy down. Sixteen years later, a humbler Roy Hobbs emerges from the bush leagues to become a 35-year-old "rookie" on the 1939 lineup of the New York Knights. He soon becomes the team's star player, and in so doing once more attracts enigmatic woman Memo Paris (Kim Basinger), the glamorous niece of the Knights' manager Pop Fisher (Wilford Brimley) and the mistress of Rothstein-like gambler Gus Sands (a curiously unbilled Darren McGavin). Roy's fascination with Memo compromises his ability to play, but this time he finds salvation in the form the angelic Iris Gaines (Glenn Close), his childhood sweetheart. From this point forward, the script for The Natural bears very little resemblance to the Malamud original. Without giving anything away, it can be said that Roy Hobbs is given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compensate for the mistakes of his youth, despite the demonic intrusion of inexplicably spiteful sports writer Max Mercy (Robert Duvall). The Natural elevates the art of slow-motion photography to new heights; while this technique would become precious and boring in later baseball films, it works beautifully here, as does the decision by director Barry Levinson and cinematographer Caleb Deschanel to convey the symbolism inherent in the story in purely visual rather than blatantly verbal terms. (If the characters told you that the story was a retelling of the Camelot legend in baseball terms, would you have watched?) Another plus is the pastoral theme music by Randy Newman, which has been well utilized on sports broadcasts and "human interest" TV documentaries ever since. The baseball scenes in The Natural were staged at War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo, New York.

Love the smile when he hands him the bat!
The symbolism of the breaking of Wonder Boy is the end of his childhood dream and the Savoy Special is the start of the rest of his life. His second life. Love this movie.
Err , he dies though, doesn't he?
@@flankspeed eventually, but why do you even mention that when what the OP said was spot on?
GREAT synopsis..so well said..and You can see it in his face and how he grips the bat as he feels the power as it happens..the music was spot on. What a perfect moment to a perfect movie.
MANCHESTER UNITED shut up, tool. Who comes on a video about a great baseball movie to start plugging freaking soccer. Soccer is literally the most boring sport on planet earth.
@bluemonkeyball67 Awesome insight. One could do a two hour lecture on this scene alone.Along with your spot on insight I would add, personally to me, when Wonder Boy is broken and Roy says, "Pick me out a winner, Bobby" a stage is set; I don't think the Final Home Run could be hit until Wonder Boy is broken.
Why?
When Bobby gets the "Savoy Special", a bat he and Roy worked on together, a gap is bridged--- the purity of the Game ("God I love baseball") and the investment of faith all those boys put in Roy is fully realized. And Roy is made whole.
I've stated this very poorly and my apologies for that.
Also, as Roy rounds the bases; how long would it take to go into all the symbolism as he rounds the bags? The sparks, which are a cause for joyous celebration for the pure of heart, are raining down fire and brimstone on Gus and his dirty guild.
The sparks reflected in Pop Fischers (Fisher?) eyes, his dream realized.
You could do much better on this than I...take care!
I can still remember seeing this at the theatre and having no idea how it was going to be. When he hits that Home run into the lights with that amazing theme roaring, I thought my Heart was going to burst out of my chest. Still gives me shivers to this day!!
I wish I would have seen this at the theater.
Yep, still get goosebumps.
I shed a tear watching that scene for the first time. What a beautiful scenery.
Yeah the final home run was epic but Bobby giving him the Savoy Special is even more epic.....so many chills watching this....."pick me out a winner Bobby"
Greatest scene in this movie. "Go pick me out a winner, Bobby." Greatest line in the movie too.
+dantheman1984 In japan the cool words“Go pick me out a winner,Bobby” is tranlated into the petty Japanese words “新しいバットを (in English “give me another one”)”・・・
A close second is Hoosiers “I’ll make it!”
He gave the kid kindness.... the kid gave him magic in return.
Absolutely
Well said
Perfect statement.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
bobby not leaving the field is such a good touch
One of the greatest endings to any movie I've ever seen but this is by far the best ending to any sports movie I've ever seen! Everybody wants to go out like this!
In the book Hibbs strikes out.
I always loved how the Nebraska farm boy was a symbol of Hobbs pitching against himself.. The last secounds of magic.
that picture of Bobby handing the Savoy Special to Roy will be on the cover of every newspaper in town the morning after.
Beautiful symbolism of never giving up hope in future generations - that greatness awaits even after the great are gone.
When I watched this show for the first time, when that bat broke, so did my heart. I was about as old as Bobby.
A great movie Cutflood! Cheers!
Why can't people be this kind in 2021 and get along? What a great friggen movie. Love the comments I am 48 and still watch this movie and tear up in the end and I have seen it over 100 times!
Because it's a movie.
"Glue it together, Bobby".
Ha!!
The pitcher for Pittsburgh is basically Roy's younger self. A farm-boy becoming a phenom pitcher. Except Roy got sidetracked.
Exactly. The past and present collide. And notice how Hobbs is studying the pitcher - w/those practice swings - soaking in within seconds - how he is him - learning in a blink of an eye - what he is all about. And how their paths cross in his epic showdown! Just a beautiful film even if you're not a fan of baseball.
I will never. EVER get through this scene without crying!
Wayne Sutton I won’t either!
Me neither. Powerful scene
Oof. Crying now
Among many but for me....THE best baseball movie!
어린시절 잊을수없은 명장면였네요 .. 부서진 원더보이 대신 배트보이 꼬마가 꿈을다해 준비해놓은 사보이 스페셜으로 끝내버린장면..
사랑스럽고 멋진 명장면으로 길이남았습니다
The batboy steals the scene with that sweet face full of adoration for his idol. And we all love the fact that not do long ago, our sports idols were decent, good, selfless men, unlike so many loud, obnoxious self absorbed idiots we see today. This is why we all love love love this scene and movie.
Loud, obnoxious, self absorbed idiots is what capitalism produces.
@@wackymackyboy lol. Yeah. Unlike those wonderful communists and socialists. They are so selfless and polite and incorruptible
OK let's not get too crazy about this nostalgia thing I mean Micky Mantle basically drank himself to death and the stories about Babe Ruth could curl your toe nails. I don't disagree that it seems like there are more problematic players today than in the past but how much of that can be attributed to the fact that there weren't video cameras and social media to inform on the old timers at every misstep?
Say what? Babe Ruth for example was a selfish drunk and there were many other examples...
That kid is awesome
whenever i see someone up their nose, i always say "pick me out a winner, bobby".
Bobby misunderstands and begins digging in his nose.
I love how they don’t over act. Less talking. Let the scene take care of itself
Go pick me out a winner, Bobby. Awesome..
"Okay"
and.. the look he gives him. that classic smirk.
davo2003hd I cry at the scene every single time!!!
When Stuart Scott used that line when one of the all star home run derby participants changed bats was a classic
Go pick me out a winner, Bobby, is iconic as "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
Hobbs homerun overshadows the younger version of himself he was facing in John Rhodes (big Nebraska farm boy. Blazing speed), the opposing pitcher, and the redemption of Pop Fischer.
Modern mythology. They simply don't make movies like this today.
Such a classic period piece! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Bobby knows how to pick em.
What a movie,.......one of the greats
the telepathic between the boy and Redford character is pretty special. The boy believe in him and Redford to the boy.
My favorite movie of all time.
Goosebumps
Spectacular
The ties that bind me with my son.
Magic for the ages.
Peace 2024
2020. Love this movie. Robert Redford 👍
This movie has so many fascinating moments.
One of the best movies I 've ever seen in my life . It goes far beyond baseball. Baseball is just an excuse to show that the true natural talent when it is enhanced , leading to joy, truth and beauty , against evil and corruption . Doing so to filter into the world the light of God , which is the true dispenser of exceptional gifts
SigOakley well said!!
SigOakley....the light of a completely make believe invisible magic man living in the clouds? Yeah ok....
Branon Fontaine no big deal I don’t believe in you or your existence. Some will not make the cut.
LiberalsAreWorthless Am athiest undermining a terrific comment with his bs negativity.
Go figure
Well said 👏
I loved the movie. I've probably watched it at least a dozen times. The only part that bugged me was it seemed like every time they showed a close up of home plate, no matter what the game, it was always the same catcher and same home plate umpire.
I remember him saying this to me a few times! Lol
Only Pittsburgh for the catcher
The ump was always the same though
Are ya alright fella?
Now I’m going to have to watch the movie for the twentieth time to check that out.
Pass along the knowledge about life.
And hitting a baseball..
The hope of good prevailing over evil...it’s not usually how reality works..only in the movies. It’s being rewarded for being a good person, not taken advantage of. It’s being an adult that still gets to do what they wanted to as a kid. It’s the music of the movie. It’s the sounds of baseball it captures...the cleats walking through the gravel, the sound of the crack of the wood bat hitting the ball and echoing, the umpire yelling out the calls, the slides into the bag etc. it was the guy you could get behind because his greatness wasn’t measured on “career totals”. He wasn’t great because he had 3000 hits or 500 home runs. He was great because after a huge setback both physically and psychologically, he never gave up on his dream. He carried that bat with him until he got there and although he only played about 3 quarters of a season, he accomplished more personally and for others than anyone in history did in their entire careers. He won the pennant, he saved the manager from the judge taking over the team, he reversed financial ruin for the organization, he inspired kids, he reconnected with the seemingly only pure woman in his Life, took on the role of being a Father after realizing that woman’s kid was his, and he literally accomplished most of these things with one swing of the bat. With that home run, the Knights win, the judge is defeated, he’s a hero to the kids, Pop keeps his team, and he has finally crossed the path of unfinished business from his youth to the greatness he’s about to endure as a man. The cracking of wonderboy was the end of his youth and the new bat was his “new life”. Wonderboy was the gifted kid with a dream of becoming the greatest baseball player..the Savoy Special was the man he would become next..the adult, the father, the man. He was done with his mistakes..he was done with the Harriet Birds and the Memos. He was done chasing book records. He realized his dream and knew now what true greatness was. That’s why he was able to capture it in about 100 games. Iris’s line of “The life we learn with and the life we live with after that” is the whole concept of the movie. Those two bats represent Roy’s two lives. The best part of it all is he did it with honor and dignity. He was tempted by the evils of the game..Max looking for Him to sell out for a story, Gus looking for him to become the next corrupt player like Bump, the judge bribing him at the end...he stared down the barrel of evil and said “no”. It was all about realizing the dream he had as a kid. No kid dreams about how much money they can make by blowing a game or getting paid to produce a story..they dream about hitting the big home run, winning the big game. Best part was his response to the judge.
“I thought I could rely on your honor, Hobbs.”
“You’re about to”
Oh MAN I Loved this movie. Forgive My rant, guys Lol. When things are bad, this is what I watch. I never could throw 100mph or hit a ball 400ft let alone 500, but this movie makes Me feel the purity of being a kid again.
Well said blackjack
But in the book, he strikes out, and it is strongly suggested he took the bribe and tanked the game on purpose.
"Say it ain't so, Roy."
Well said, great feel good movie, wish they made more like this than the gratuitous violence we see in 100's of movies, relying on action instead of a great story and making the little things seem bigger than life.
I LOVE how that kid WORSHIPS Hobbs.
I love this movie so classic.
‘These guys aren’t so tough. I’ve got wonderbat’
‘Arrrgh!’
BEST EVER BASEBALL movie ever made SPINE TINGLING electrifying action...............⚾🏅🏆🥇
Bobby is the anti-Stillwell.
Stillwell angel!
For those who aren’t aware the way wonder boy broke is the typical way a corked bat breaks. The cut down the middle after being glued back together comes undone if you pause it at the right time you can see it might have been so it could break easier.
If you ever want to win a trivia bet, ask someone, "What was the name of the bat Roy Hobbs used to hit the game winning home run in the end of "The Natural"?" Everone says "Wonderboy", and of course it was the "Savoy Special".
+hazelwood55 That would be a great trick question!!!! I teach Sunday School at the church I go to and we do a lot of Bible Trivia, so since I have been showing them the past 2 weeks Angels In the Outfield, once we finish on Sunday I have a trick question for them. They all were born in late 90's, so it will really stump them. "What is the name of the actor who was in this movie and also in Back to the Future? And who did he play as in Back to the Future?" they will probably give me dead silence. The answer is "Christopher Lloyd and he played Doc."
Honestly, it’s a great question for a complete novice. Anyone who has watched a natural several times and really appreciates it will know the answer
Considering that the film is from 1984, you had better hurry with that trivia Q, those generations who watched it in the theater are beginning to hit senility.
@@hd-xc2lz exactly, 95% have no idea is it about baseball or football. Name of the bat? Not for a million dollars.
A legendary film and book.
The characters and their motivations are vaguely Ayn Randian, for the better.
Greatest sports movie ever😊😊😊
Gets me every time
Amazing acting between the two with so little dialogue.
Total feel good movie. Lots of fun, love it.
That bat is in the baseball hall of fame!
I did not know that. Cool, thx
:50 I remember watching this movie when I was a young boy and this scene specifically. I have tears in my eyes now as i did then, seeing Hobb's bat (Wonderboy) destroyed. No longer able to help him in his quest for excellence.
It didn't make sense for a bat to last that long anyway, though bats were heavier back then. They say that Joe Sewell used the same bat for his entire career, but he was not a power hitter. I guess Babe Ruth broke a ton of bats.
One of my favorite movies ever
no pine tar, no glove just a little dirt on the bat and he still dings one.... that's a man right there
"Go pick me out a winner, Bobby"
"Ok"
*Bobby walks over picks up "Savoy Special" and comes back and hands it to Roy*
"Yeah, real fucking cute, Bobby. This is for the fucking pennant, not to mention Pop's job, my career, my legacy and you wanna fucking gamble it all on our little arts and crafts project we did one afternoon? Are you outta you're fucking mind, kid? Jes--you know what? Fuck it, I don't give it shit...just get the fuck outta my face".
Along with Hoosiers, and maybe Chariots of Fire -the best sports movie ever made.
Remember the Titans pretty good as well. And has a great message about unity and teamwork.
Slap Shot.
one of THE best movies
1:42, if you’ve ever wondered what “goo-goo eyes” look like.
Love this movie.🙂
World's best I guarantee it🌸
Young John Rhoades strides to the mound. Nebraska farm boy. Blazing left handed speed.
Bats do break pretty often
There was too much cork in that lightning bolt bat anyways.
And Arthur asks his page to give him a sword, and the page gives him his own.
Yes. I heard that the film was "pitched" as a baseball version of a King Arthur story. Not sure everyone gets all the Arthurian references (the Knights for instance) but I too appreciated this one in particular. And I didn't mind that unlike some of those stories this one has a happy ending.
If you notice the way the tree is struck by lightning in the beginning, it looks like the sword in the stone!@@marshja56
I got the highest damage inducing baseball bat in Fallout 4 and renamed it “Savoy Special.”
This movie is actually portraying Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox.
Something in my eye.....
Little known fact, Bobby was played by a young Pete Incaviglia.
Always liked the music in this ⭐️
George Wilkosz played "Bobby"... his only movie... he was 13, and working at his parents fruit stand in Buffalo, NY. Barry Levinson, one of the directors, saw him and knew instantly he was the kid... he had no acting experience... talk about a "natural"... ⚾🧢
Bobby was the son Roy Hobbs never had.
At 1:06 you can see the bat was corked :)
It was never about the bat, it was always about HIMSELF, as a person.
If he believes it’s because of the bat, it’s because of the bat.
Watch the film, it's entirely about a bat.
Oops...a bit of scene integrity issue...if you look at 00:37 he has swung and hit the ball and is holding the bat at the end of the swing (up over the right shoulder in the finish position) and the bat is fully intact....then later they show it split in two laying long the first base line...Oops indeed.
Staying Sober i’ve actually had this happen a few times. Sometimes the bat cracks and doesn’t break until the next time it hits something. I cracked my bat once and went to go back in the box. Went to tap it on the plate and get into my stance but when i tapped it half the barrel just fell right off the bat onto the ground
It cracked after he dropped it and ran
Dog Mayor what level were you playing that you were using wood?
A full house and you can hear the individual voices
Beautiful
Great scene.All little boys can relate to it.Thanks.
That bat was packed with cork and steroids...
Hobbes met this young relief pitcher only once in younger days in trip to the Prfessionalbaseballteam with baseball scout . At that time Hbobes was about to leave Station with train after good pitching against the Whammer and Hobbes gave his signball to a boy. A boy given the ball has grown and become the last rival in this scene. He appeared to be the symbol of young Hobbes’s dream in which he would be a fast ball pitcher without accident happened to him.
Wasn't it, 'Hey, mister, what's your name?'
@@TralfazConstruction Yes, That boy has grown up to his last rival !!
The bat didn't break upon hitting the ball but when it hit the ground.
Yea, I noticed that too. Bats almost always break just after the moment of impact.
Ummmm - We know -
Go pick me out a winner Bobby.
I heard on the internet that this flick was made about Ted Williams and they called him up to come over to the set and see what's going on he told them he was busy fishing and he could not make it
Classic Ted Williams story, love it. But no, there were two real life MLB players that Hobbs is possibly based on, Eddie Waitkus and Billy Jurges. Both were shot by women they were involved with and attempted late career comebacks. I recommend the novel, it's a great read.
@@hd-xc2lzRobert Redford called Ted Williams and invited him to the set and told him that the movie was about him as far as a player as good as the natural only Ted Williams could be the one
Well, if you heard it on the internet then it must be true.
@@davidstoyanoff I herd it from Robert Redford on a show on TV .
@@JohnDoe-pe1em okay maybe, but Redford didn't write the book.
I remember one year at FFA state convention they showed this clip and when the bat boy went to grab "a winner" they put "FFA" on the bat :)
Anthony R Schmitz what’s “FFA” stand for🤔🤔
I never got the symbolism of Bobby hanging around when he is at the batter's box.
I think he’s just caught up in the moment.
Bobby Savoy is a 13 year old kid who loves baseball... he is in awe of Roy Hobbs... who treats him with genuine kindness and respect... plus he spent time helping him make "The Savoy Special"... I think in real life the kid actor, George Wilkosz, maybe missed his mark to move... but the film catches it as a genuine moment... Plus you can see in Redford's eyes he's not left character... Kind and sharing the moment with Bobby... plus, I think that would be his natural self anyways...
I said get them some of George's rigkiatoni sauce dry eves powder not for the dance for the dance🌸
45 people didn't pick out a winner
We like Roy we like Roy
I used to see this scene as corny to the point of being stupid. Watching it now...I see a time when a boy could have a hero and that person would actually be someone worth looking up to. I’m sure real heroes are still out there, and they’ve always been rare, but the good role models are now a rarity as well.
Especially good sports athlete role models
awkward stare
Go pick me out a winner Bobby
2 Questions....1. who is the sweet bat boy and 2. Who is the pitcher?
The bat boy's name was Bobby Savoy. The pitcher in the end was John Rhodes, a Nebraska farm boy with a blazing fast ball. In the book, he was also the boy who Roy tossed the ball to after striking out The Whammer.I always thought Rhodes was a younger version of Hobbs.
God damn,could you STOP with ONIONS FOR ONE SECOND...
Looks like Utley, or I should say Utley look like him.
I love that line when he says "Go pick me out a winner, Bobby." Did Bobby make that bat? What's the significance to the "Savoy Special"?
+sportsygirl8 In middle stage of this film we can see that Roy taught Bobby how to make Bat and they made it together. The Significance meant the name of boy. Batboy Saboy respecting sincerely Roy wrote his name on Bat with red-hotted peg.
・・・・Sorrry, I am Japanese,so I can not illustrate this beautiful and haertful scene well・・・
Phd0628 Thank you very much!!!! You did a great job with explaining the scene. I have never seen the movie before, so that's why I didn't understand. So, again thank you very much.
As a Bobby myself, this scene really tugged at my heart....bat boy for a perennial loser.....the "hero" helps him make the bat, he names it the Savoy (His last name) Special...when the "magic" bat broke...his hero told him to "pick him out a winner, and he gives him his own bat....then hobbs hits the game winning walk off home run, winning the pennant...I thought to myself when I first saw that scene...."that boy will never forget that moment if he lives to be 100.
Made by batboy Bobby Savoy
It's corked!
Bobby
So many subtly perfect and poignant shots in this movie - 1:41
Did anyone check the Savoy special to see if it was legal?
I'd probably hit the ball for the 100th try.
0:36 the catcher must have done some shady shit because it wasn't the hit that broke the bat.
billygowhoop Excellent point!
It could’ve cracked when he hit the ball and when he threw it and it landed it broke apart.
