❤️BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY❤️ PSALM 107:1-3 KJV 107 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
Doc Graham, like the other baseball players, was a real person. He was very much loved by the community he served as a doctor. He was played here by the legendary actor Burt Lancaster in his final role before his death.
In Kinsella's book on which this movie is based, Shoeless Joe, the writer was also a real person. Only it wasn't the fictional Terrance Mann, but famous "Catcher in the Rye" author J.D. Salinger. However, producers changed the name when the reclusive Salinger threatened to sue.
@@johno1765 Thank G-d Salinger did threaten to sue over his likeness featured in the film. Otherwise that would've obviously meant that James Earl Jones wouldn't have been cast in the role in the first place, and THAT would've been a tragedy.
@@Jon_from_LI , So true! The producers certainly made the best of that challenge by putting in pinch hitter Thomas Mann (James Earl Jones) to knock that Salinger curve ball out of the park. 🙂⚾
I know most people hit the waterworks when he sees his Dad, but for me it's when Doc steps off the field to help the little girl. It validates his past decision and he realizes that he did indeed make the right choice for himself.
My dad coached my little league team. I used to practice pitching to him in my backyard with him as a catcher, and he insisted that he catch next to a tree to simulate a batter. If I was throwing to him for 30 minutes, at least one pitch would ricochet and hit him in the hand or head, or leg. He'd jump up cursing, then get right back down for the next pitch. I was just in awe at how insane he was and the incredible sacrifice he was making for me. I'd try to convince him to catch somewhere else, but he thought it was the perfect spot in the yard to make me a better pitcher. I quit baseball to focus on football and basketball, but when he dies, that's a story I'll tell at his funeral.
I used to pitch to my mom, who is one of the best athletes I've ever known. Then she'd pitch to me so I could become a catcher too. Dad was away flying jets a lot. She put the other mothers to shame. To be honest, she humbled most of the Dads too.
Love this movie. Visited the site in 92 and had a catch with my dad on the field. The farm you can see in the distance was owned by my dads cousin during filming and still in the family
The story is NOT about baseball, it uses baseball as a symbol of Ray's lost childhood with his father. Every man feels that loss after their father dies, regardless of how they treated each other while alive. It is powerful message for everyone. I cry every time I see it.
This is one of the few films that will make grown men, as tough and as stoic as they come, shed tears when Ray's father shows up. The story uses baseball...but its about so much more. Fathers and sons, family, pursuing your dreams, and more. My favorite scenes in the film, besides the reveal of the father, are the scenes with the late, great Burt Lancaster as Doc Graham. He is one of my favorite actors, and this is one of his best performances, in his last big screen film. His list of legendary films and amazing performances is long: - With his friend, Kirk Douglas: Gunfight at the OK Corrall (Lancaster plays Wyatt Earp, Douglas plays Doc Holliday), The Devil's Disciple, Seven Days In May, and Tough Guys (Their last movie made in the 1980s) - these are the best four of their seven films together, IMHO. - Elmer Gantry - His Oscar-winning performance as Best Actor. - From Here To Eternity - A MUST SEE!!! Set on Hawaii, just days before the attack on Pearl Harbor...an Oscar-winning performance by Frank Sinatra. Romantic and heart-breaking. - The Rainmaker, The Sweet Smell of Success, Run Silent, Run Deep, Judgment At Nuremberg, Birdman of Alcatraz, 1900, Atlantic City, and Local Hero are all worth a watch...with so many I haven't listed. I also love James Earl Jones's performance. It has all the hallmarks we love about him, but we see his softer side. And that VOICE!!!! Terrence Mann is one of my favorite roles Jones played.
The field is still there 35 years later and averages 100k visitors/year. I’ve been there. Super cool. Also, Major League Baseball has played a game there.
Thank you for not complaining it was about baseball. I liked how you said... if you WERE a baseball fan, it would have hit you 10x harder. Very nice. At the end when you were surprised to see his dad, that was a beautiful moment for all of us to "catch." Thank you for a lovely reaction! I try to watch your channel whenever I can. You are a lovely reactor! 📽🎞🤎
I have yet to get through this movie without crying at the end. I lost my own Dad suddenly during my Senior year of High School. Their were many things left undone and unsaid between us.
One movie guaranteed to make grown men cry. The scene at the end still gets me every time. 😢 The Ken Burns documentary, Baseball, does a great job of explaining the role baseball played in shaping 20th century American culture and society, and why it came to be called America's pastime. A couple other great baseball movies worth watching are Bull Durham (1988, also with Kevin Costner), and Major League (1989).
Loved your reaction. Great film and yeah I cried from the moment doc saved the little girl to when he played catch with his dad...gets me everytime. I'd love to have one more catch with my dad.
I have no idea why I enjoy reaction videos, and I watch and subscribe to several, but I wish you would do more as I have enjoyed all your videos, can’t say why that is either, but always enjoy your reactions popping into my feed….
Great reaction to an awesome movie, Gabby. 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.
Burt Landcaster. Thank you sir. One of the greatest American actors in a very touching role. Times change and things evolve, but greatness lasts forever.
One of my greatest surprises pulling an unknown book off the shelf in a library was the book this was based on. It is called "Shoeless Joe" and being a big fan of baseball history I picked it up and started reading. It was really magical. Then, a few years later this movie cane out and when I read the description I realized it was based on that magical book! I think it's one of the best adaptations to film of a novel in loved.
"Amazing Grace and Chuck" is a real tear-jerker about a Little League baseball pitcher whose plight to change the world inspired the NBA NFL MLB and NHL players to protest with the 12 year old. Until organized gambling started loosing millions. The final scene even had the stage crews and actors in tears.
Take action on God's call for your life in Christ!!! It's not just about you, it's about what God put in you for other people in this world!!! They need it 🙏God let are faith be in you
"Is that a ghost? Do we call 911?" Lol! Yes! "This is 911. What's your emergency?" "Hello. Yes. Ray Liotta is dressed like a baseball player, and he's standing on the baseball field I made . . . Hello?"
I’m a grown man. I was fortunate enough to have been able to play catch with my Dad thru high school. But there are 2 movies that always make me cry, Field of Dreams and Saving Private Ryan.
I watched many reactions but no ones mentioned this tiny thing. When Rays thinking about signing, Shoeless Joe gets in a ready stance in the outfield. He’s waiting on Rays decision, whether he’ll strike out or hit it out of the park . Small thing but I like it.
The Field is still there ... +30 years later. It was neglected for a while but is now fully restored and has hosted professional pre-season games. AFAIK, much of the adjacent corn has been razed to make room for additional baseball diamonds with bleachers. This is just east of Dyersville, between Iowa City & the Mississippi River.
in dyersville, iowa you can visit the field of dreams field where the movie was filmed . in greenville, south carolina is the shoeless joe jackson museum.
I have always loved this film and I've never really understood nor cared for baseball. Went to a baseball game when I was over in the US (not like 'footie', is it?) and there was so much stopping and starting I kind of switched off - couldn't even tell you who won (nor remember who was playing). Nevertheless I love this film how it was intended to be loved by people generally, I wouldn't say it was fair to state that this film was intended just for baseball fans.
I’d like to see her with crazy, lifted hair in different patterns for each quadrant. She’s definitely pretty enough because she has a lovely face and an attitude that contributes to that. This girl will be a star if fortune favors her and somebody besides us watchers, sees her.
Little Archie Graham is Brett from Pulp Fiction. “Do you read the bible, Brett?” "Say what again!” He’s also in School Of Rock as the Battle of the Bands director.
It's a real good way to tell if a man is alive or dead inside. If someone doesn't cry at any point in this movie, throw sheet over yourself. You're dead. When the Field of Dreams game was going to be played right there in that corn field, I was trying to get the tickets and ready to drive all the way to Iowa from Tennessee. But then covid hit and it was postponed, and my money refunded. When restrictions were lifted a little, I tried getting the tickets but I kept getting refunded over and over again. It was driving me nuts wether or not the game was going to be postponed again. Then life happened, I got busy, and next thing I know I'm scheduled to work the day of the game. I was beyond pissed. If the Titans were pissed about losing the Super Bowl by an inch, I was more pissed than that. So I watched it on TV, rooting for the White Soxs, crying at how beautiful it was, and I am not afraid to say that it was more magical than Disney Land.
If you build it, he will come: was for Rays father Ease his pain was for Ray’s pain. He was in emotional pain with all those unresolved issues he had with his dad.
Good job with this one. Now on to movies, "Always" and "Meet Joe Black" if you haven't already seen them. I am a baseball fan but this isn't really about baseball, is it. For baseball try "A league of their own", "Major league", "The Natural", or "Money Ball".
I second that, would love to see her react to "Meet Joe Black", very underrated movie. Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt ... and I love Claire Forlani in that movie!
Phil Alden Robinson who wrote and directed says he was given the original book by a woman producer to read, he asked whats it about, she said a farmer who hears voices, Phil said no thanks, she said then he ploughs his crop under and builds a baseball field, Phil said, not my thing, she persisted (she saw something in it) and Phil took it home and only about 10 20 did he pick it up, and read it all the way through and thought I have to make a movie out of this. So yes its about having a vision and following through no matter what anyone thinks, believe in yourself.....and about getting second chances....
Ray Liota who played Shoeless Joe had his mother die while making this movie.He never did watch the movie because it reminded him of that time and died a few years ago without ever seeing it
It's interesting how the filmmakers portray a so-called "afterlife" in this film. They weren't really going for any particular religious vibe. More like when you die, you stay as how you would like to be remembered, a metaphysical transformation where time and space mean nothing. Sort of traveling to alternate universes or plains of existence. "Field of Dreams," to me, felt like a really good "Twilight Zone" episode.
This one passed you by in this reaction. This movie isn't one lick about baseball. I'm in tears at the end every time and I've never watched so much as a minute of it. I don't know if you were expecting something else and was thrown for it or what, but yeah. That's OK, not every movie will land with a reactor.
I always appreciate your thoughtful, insightful commentary. 👍 Another baseball movie you may like is The Natural which, like this one, is enjoyable and inspiring even if you're not a baseball fan.
Most viewers are thrown by Ray's fixation about his father being old. I know I was, until I did the math. The dates in the voiceover intro tell us that when Ray was born in 1952 his father was 56 years old & had been married for 14 childless years. Ray was 14 years old in 1966 when he stopped playing catch with his 70-year-old father. Ray was 22 when he married Annie in 1974 & his father died a few months later at the age of 78. So yeah, Ray wasn't tripping, his dad always was OLD. I think when we know what the numbers are Ray's reunion with his father is even sweeter.
top 10 movies about sports. top 5 movies about baseball. top 5 Kevin Costner movies. one of 9 movies that make me cry no matter how many times I watch it.
Wow! Nothing to do with your reaction, but I just had an epiphany. Been struggling with my relationship with my Grandaughter that I just took to college. In Feb I got sick. For the first time in her life. Our relationship has changed. She’s angry with me for aging and not having any control sometimes. Just diagnosed with Parkinson’s but got a long way to go before it’s too much of a problem. Or so I’m told, but she has changed and we can’t seem to get back on track. Wow. Now let’s finish the movie. She’s angry because I’m getting old and I’m all she’s got left. 💔. I’m only 60. My mother is 94 and still rides her bike. 🤷🏻♀️
I have 5 sisters. Only one younger than me and the oldest is 79. We’ve tried talking to her, but not getting thru. Maybe time will fix it or make it worse, but I feel like I understand better now. A place to start.
This is yet another example of a movie that is made ten times better by a musical score composed by the great James Horner. 1989 was a darned good year for Jim...he had 5 movies come out, including this one, Glory, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids...but it really should have been much better for him. First, Horner could only be nominated for an Academy Award for one film, even though the score for Glory is just as good if not better than Field of Dreams...but then he LOST to the score for a Disney cartoon that should not have beaten him.
Ppl see for a lot of ways. In this case it was a form of tradgity. Little girl falling. When ppl start using their heart sometimes more than their brains.
Baseball's a dying sport nowadays in the US, but it was still popular, when "Field of Dreams" was released. Some steroid scandels, coupled with it being too long & too slow a game for modern audiences, caused it to to go by the wayside.
It's not a dying sport, and it hasn't "gone by the wayside". Sure, it's not the center of American culture the way it was 100 years ago, when it wasn't competing with football, basketball, video games, and other forms of entertainment, but attendance has been up each year since the lockdown, and this year is on track to be one of the best years ever. It's still America's pastime and still the best way to spend a summer afternoon.
@@WheresWaldo05 What glitch? When I said "this year is on track to be one of the best years ever.", it was implied that I meant in the history of Major League Baseball. Luckily, we don't have to rely on your observations and preferences to determine that. MLB keeps detailed statistics on everything, including attendance. Before this year, the highest attendance came during the 2000s, with the high point being 79,484,718 in 2009. This year so far, slightly more than halfway through the season, the attendance total is 40,174,179. Granted, Football is still the most popular sport in the US, but that doesn't mean baseball is a dying sport.

Followed by Hey rookie! You were good 😢😢
All the cars hit me.
For me it’s both.
Ray Liotta does a subtle but tremendous job as usual
If he's so great why is he dead?
My dad coached my little league team. I used to practice pitching to him in my backyard with him as a catcher, and he insisted that he catch next to a tree to simulate a batter. If I was throwing to him for 30 minutes, at least one pitch would ricochet and hit him in the hand or head, or leg. He'd jump up cursing, then get right back down for the next pitch.

This movie is perfection.
Just such a beautiful movie. The ending always destroys me with his father.
"Is that a ghost? Do we call 911?" Lol! Yes! "This is 911. What's your emergency?" "Hello. Yes. Ray Liotta is dressed like a baseball player, and he's standing on the baseball field I made . . . Hello?"
Great movie. Another good movie is (Misery) 1990 its a thriller.
Love it when you enjoy a movie that I love!
Burt Lancaster could read the phone book and I’d be fascinated. What a final last role.
Field of Dreams gave great visual exits to three great actors: Burt Lancaster, Ray Liotta, and James Earl Jones.
All 3 died the next week, too. It's nuts.
There’s a movie called 8 Men Out that’s about the players who threw the World Series in 2019, and how they were punished for it.
I look forward to playing catch with my Dad.
Take a chance on your dreams, you never know what amazing experiences might happen for you.
I have virtually no interest in baseball and this is still one of my favorite movies of all time.
You have the best intro of ANY reaction channel.
❤ it.
The men talking about Doc Graham in the bar were actual residents of the town and knew Graham.
I’m a grown man. I was fortunate enough to have been able to play catch with my Dad thru high school. But there are 2 movies that always make me cry, Field of Dreams and Saving Private Ryan.

It also hosted a regular season MLB game between the Yankees and the White Sox -- if you build it they will come
Oh, yeah, the movie you were expecting is called “The Bad News Bears.” From the 70s I think. I was little when it came out.
Great Movie
Fantastic Suggestion ✌️🤠
The field of dreams is still there in Iowa, and people are still coming.
in dyersville, iowa you can visit the field of dreams field where the movie was filmed . in greenville, south carolina is the shoeless joe jackson museum.
You are so intelligent and beautiful, inside and out.
the old guys in the bar were actual friends of doc graham telling stories they knew about him

I think you finally did nail saying "The Sixth Sense" there in the end. 😉
Little Archie Graham is Brett from Pulp Fiction. “Do you read the bible, Brett?” "Say what again!”
He’s also in School Of Rock as the Battle of the Bands director.
Who knew Darth Vader was a Pulitzer winning writer and baseball fanatic?
At its core it's the story a man gaining his father's acceptance and approval. So it's central focus is the relationships of fathers and sons.
Great Reaction !!! Thank You
terreance mann was based on j.d salinger who wrote an iconic book about the 60 s
16:22 LMAO!!!
It's a real good way to tell if a man is alive or dead inside. If someone doesn't cry at any point in this movie, throw sheet over yourself. You're dead.
When the Field of Dreams game was going to be played right there in that corn field, I was trying to get the tickets and ready to drive all the way to Iowa from Tennessee. But then covid hit and it was postponed, and my money refunded. When restrictions were lifted a little, I tried getting the tickets but I kept getting refunded over and over again. It was driving me nuts wether or not the game was going to be postponed again. Then life happened, I got busy, and next thing I know I'm scheduled to work the day of the game. I was beyond pissed. If the Titans were pissed about losing the Super Bowl by an inch, I was more pissed than that. So I watched it on TV, rooting for the White Soxs, crying at how beautiful it was, and I am not afraid to say that it was more magical than Disney Land.
Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
So does Pete Rose.
The ending scene it was the locals cars, and they shut down the power grid in that area to make it black as it was
If you build it, he will come: was for Rays father
Ease his pain was for Ray’s pain. He was in emotional pain with all those unresolved issues he had with his dad.
I never forgave him for getting old
absolutely luv your channel.
Thanks!!
Good job with this one. Now on to movies, "Always" and "Meet Joe Black" if you haven't already seen them. I am a baseball fan but this isn't really about baseball, is it. For baseball try "A league of their own", "Major league", "The Natural", or "Money Ball".

Agree this is the sixth senxth
You can ask any sports fan what's a movie that makes a man tear up. I betcha everything I own 99.999999999% will say 'Field of Dreams'.
Toss-up for me between this one and "Brian's Song.' Both hit me hard every time I watch.
It's interesting how the filmmakers portray a so-called "afterlife" in this film. They weren't really going for any particular religious vibe. More like when you die, you stay as how you would like to be remembered, a metaphysical transformation where time and space mean nothing. Sort of traveling to alternate universes or plains of existence. "Field of Dreams," to me, felt like a really good "Twilight Zone" episode.

I don't know if you were expecting something else and was thrown for it or what, but yeah. That's OK, not every movie will land with a reactor.
I never thought this movie was about baseball
I always appreciate your thoughtful, insightful commentary. 👍 Another baseball movie you may like is The Natural which, like this one, is enjoyable and inspiring even if you're not a baseball fan.
I would love to see your reactions to these 2 westerns that nobody's shown their reactions to and the Westerns are Silverado and Big Jake
Most viewers are thrown by Ray's fixation about his father being old. I know I was, until I did the math. The dates in the voiceover intro tell us that when Ray was born in 1952 his father was 56 years old & had been married for 14 childless years. Ray was 14 years old in 1966 when he stopped playing catch with his 70-year-old father. Ray was 22 when he married Annie in 1974 & his father died a few months later at the age of 78. So yeah, Ray wasn't tripping, his dad always was OLD. I think when we know what the numbers are Ray's reunion with his father is even sweeter.
My father was 52 when I was born so it always made sense to me.
Guaranteed guy tears.
top 10 movies about sports. top 5 movies about baseball. top 5 Kevin Costner movies. one of 9 movies that make me cry no matter how many times I watch it.
Iowa is my State!!
Doc crossing the line breaks me every time.
He's spraying insect repellent at him. You'd fill the container with it and push the handle. The spray was quite unhealthy and was banned.
You should Eight Men Out for a pretty good portrayal of the Black Sox
Califoniablend's a very attractive woman, just saying
Wow! Nothing to do with your reaction, but I just had an epiphany.
Been struggling with my relationship with my Grandaughter that I just took to college.
In Feb I got sick. For the first time in her life. Our relationship has changed. She’s angry with me for aging and not having any control sometimes.
Just diagnosed with Parkinson’s but got a long way to go before it’s too much of a problem. Or so I’m told, but she has changed and we can’t seem to get back on track.
Wow. Now let’s finish the movie. She’s angry because I’m getting old and I’m all she’s got left. 💔. I’m only 60. My mother is 94 and still rides her bike. 🤷🏻♀️
I have 5 sisters. Only one younger than me and the oldest is 79. We’ve tried talking to her, but not getting thru.
Maybe time will fix it or make it worse, but I feel like I understand better now. A place to start.
This is yet another example of a movie that is made ten times better by a musical score composed by the great James Horner. 1989 was a darned good year for Jim...he had 5 movies come out, including this one, Glory, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids...but it really should have been much better for him. First, Horner could only be nominated for an Academy Award for one film, even though the score for Glory is just as good if not better than Field of Dreams...but then he LOST to the score for a Disney cartoon that should not have beaten him.
You need to suspend reality during parts of this movie😎
Ppl see for a lot of ways. In this case it was a form of tradgity. Little girl falling. When ppl start using their heart sometimes more than their brains.
NGL Have to admire your persistence in pronouncing "The 6th Sense". Keep practicing, you'll get there.
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
You should watch the movie Eight men out the true story of the Chicago White Sox throwing the world series
The book doesn't exist. It's just a device in the story. There was no Terence Mann.
Who was Napoleon, again?
in the sequel Ray and his family get sued for not having enough porta-potties, food, drinks, or parking spaces.
The film isn't geared to baseball fans at all. It's like you missed the whole movie
Baseball's a dying sport nowadays in the US, but it was still popular, when "Field of Dreams" was released.
Some steroid scandels, coupled with it being too long & too slow a game for modern audiences, caused it to to go by the wayside.
It's not a dying sport, and it hasn't "gone by the wayside". Sure, it's not the center of American culture the way it was 100 years ago, when it wasn't competing with football, basketball, video games, and other forms of entertainment, but attendance has been up each year since the lockdown, and this year is on track to be one of the best years ever. It's still America's pastime and still the best way to spend a summer afternoon.
@@WheresWaldo05 What glitch? When I said "this year is on track to be one of the best years ever.", it was implied that I meant in the history of Major League Baseball. Luckily, we don't have to rely on your observations and preferences to determine that. MLB keeps detailed statistics on everything, including attendance. Before this year, the highest attendance came during the 2000s, with the high point being 79,484,718 in 2009. This year so far, slightly more than halfway through the season, the attendance total is 40,174,179. Granted, Football is still the most popular sport in the US, but that doesn't mean baseball is a dying sport.
Get yourself a wife like Ray Cansela's.
I luv u but you changed big tim
Just one of the best films ever made. Powerhouse cast too. From Ray down to Karen, just so good. 🫶
'Do we call 9-1-1' ...you know who you gonna call.
