CLIP DESCRIPTION:
In front of Memo (Kim Basinger) and Gus (Darren McGavin), Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) turns down the Judge's (Robert Prosky) bribe to throw the clinching game to get to the World Series.
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.

Can you imagine the absolute panic he felt when that gun went off? For one terrifying moment, he was reliving the moment that defined his life - years of agony & rehabilitation, and again all because of a beautiful, yet crazy-as-all-get-out female.
“I thought I could rely on your honor, Hobbs?”
“You’re about to.”
Classic.
"We have met before..." Crazy is crazy, and easily recognizable.
Man is spitin facts! Just the facts man!
@@wilc.2095 who is
@burtonaka___Not very good with recognizing allegory are ya
@burtonaka___ No, you proved my point just fine with that remark, we are good little dingleberry.
@burtonaka___ It's social commentary, not a piece of literature. It's how we talk. You dont want to see the beauty in ambiguity, that's fine you don't have to, but you just sound like an a$$.
It's a truly remarkable film ... I saw it the week it hit the theaters -- and to this day, if I trip across it on TV I stop whatever i am doing and watch it to the end ....
its fantastic. this scene. shook me. startled the hell out of me and his fear was palpable and takes you back to his youth immediately.
The judge was my great uncle. Robert prosky. Never met him but my grandma said he was pretty chill and liked to make jokes. Feel free to look the family tree up in happy to provide names.
I love the call back to what Roy's da says to him about his gift, hence the look he shoots yer man. Brilliant.
I have read the novel, and I must say I much prefer the outcome in the movie. This is truly Roy being given a 2nd chance, and a chance to redeem himself, unlike in the novel. Almost as if it were a crossover with Quantum Leap, and Dr. Samuel Beckett stepped in to change the character's life and those he touches all for the better :)
They show him swinging in the opening montage, but when I saw the episode, he gets on base due to a weird rule where he can if the catcher doesn't catch the pitch with two strikes showing!
My favorite movie of all time
The irony of him telling him to honor a request to cheat. Never gets old.
Crazy women are a scary thing. They're not always easy to differentiate from the sane ones. Good looks makes it harder to spot even the obviously crazy ones. Many of us can only learn this the hard way.
The man has integrity....honest..
Such great acting all around. Everyone in this movie.
Great movie based on the book of the same name which I recently read. Usually I find the book version of a story to be better than the movie version, but not in this case as the book was rather disappointing, at least to me. In the book Hobbs is no hero and the ending is very different. The director, actors, script writers and composer did a magnificent job taking that story from the book, improving it greatly and making an incredible movie.
Mr March People used to read this book in High School. So many were familiar with the story,much was made when this movie came out of how the ending was changed from the book.
I just finished the book as well, and I agree that the movie was way better than the book.
glad they did.
Some of the critics didn't like the Hollywood ending of the film. Gene Siskel said they had read the book just days before. Who wants their hero to turn for money in the end? However good he is, there's no guarantee that he'd hit; hitting 1/3 at bats is .333 which would be super-fantastic in the major leagues. And even if he hit, he might not score. Or if they were that afraid of him, the pitcher would walk him.
What a great flick.
Darren McGavin......The Old Man
Robert Redford: I'm not an actor. I'm a movie star.
alg11297 he was 48 years old in this scene but looked younger
Kim Basinger was great at playing a two-timing, double crossing, manipulative c...well you know what she was.
I think tragically her character was manipulated herself by the Judge and Darren McGavin's villainous character...
I always thought the villains in these movies were over the top. I now see my folly. The world is filled with evil people who enjoy destroying what is good. This movie is amazing in its moral clarity.
As Darren McGavin's character says, they like the action -- betting other people's futures on things that don't matter, out of greed or boredom or a belief no one will ever make them pay up. Seen a lot of those people in recent years.
Kim Basinger was so freaking hot in this film.....
I guess I haven't seen enough of her film career, but I found it hard to believe she won an Oscar. If looks were the only determinant, I can agree with you!
Yeah, she played a slut so very well.
+Stogie2112 She was only 31 at the time, so..
@@JohnSmith-op1tc The OP never said anything about the Oscars to begin with.
@@jp3813 I did not know I was constrained to speaking only of Ms. Basinger in the 2:30 of this clip, so as to take part in these responses. I have seen "The Natural" many times, "9 1/2 Weeks" once, not much else of her filmography.
" something seems amiss "..
The original bunny boiler.
And of course Glenn Close is on the other side of it in this movie 😂
Your right we have met before, and God haven't most of us been with a beautiful and crazy woman the 2 characteristics just seem to go together
Darren McGavin being one of the main characters in this movie , yet you won't see his name in the credits at the beginning or ending of this movie. I wonder why.
found this: While Darren McGavin had a major supporting role as the bookmaker Gus Sands, he received no credit. In the recent retrospective documentary on the Special Edition DVD of this movie, Robert Prosky (the Judge) claimed that McGavin was cast late in the picture, and would have received a lesser billing than the other stars. As a result, McGavin chose to go uncredited. Prosky noted that McGavin wound up "drawing more attention to himself" as a result.
Guess. He couldn't stand the movie and they gave him no credit for creating the character.
isnt this the scene where Kolchak thinks Kim is a vampira and takes out a wooden bat and stabs her
There's only one Vampira, and she will forever be Maila Nurmi, Finnish queen of the dark.
Sometimes that can be fuc*ing game. But you must strongly stay.
Personally I think that woman needs to be committed to judge needs to be arrested and that so-called sports reporter needs to go to jail for the rest of his life
Don't you understand the way the world really works? If you've got enough money and power, you're above the law.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Hobbs, but we had a deal.
No.
Consider yourself corrected!
I've never been smart enough to understand everything here......were Memo and Barbara Hershey supposed to be the same character, just looked different? I love this movie so much but don't understand all the symbolism, I very much appreciate it being explained, thank you in advance 😊
No, Barbara Hershey dies as the article states. He was just saying how alike Memo was to Barbara’s character, and how she reminded him of her.
0:58🤣
Isn't Kim red hot beautiful in this picture?
Red Hot and Black Hearted!
Adamwinters Absolutely And a good Woman is hard to find, but I found one.
You look a little lost.
- I'm not.
You dropped this on your way out.
Something seems amiss. Correct me if I'm wrong, Hobbs, but we had a deal.
No.
Those are your winnings. This is a gag. Pick it up. Get out.
If it isn't enough money, tell us what you've got in mind. *To hit away.*
I thought I could rely on your honor.
*You're about to.*
when does he say "god i love baseball"...
Rob 7 when he's talking to Glen Close..Iris.....I absolutely Love that too..he just stops mid sentence and says, so passionately..God I Love baseball. It's so genuine. The game really gets inside You if You Love it
EVERYONE IS entitled to their opinion no matter how stupid it may BE😅😅😅😂😂
This guy definitely has bad luck with women.
Because he left the woman who gave him luck.
This scene is so intense, and more so if you know the book's plot arch. Roy Hobbs WAS a loser. Gus Sands was right! 2:00
Delilah with a Firearm👎👎
This was treated slightly differently in the book.
Very differently apparently. I know he strikes out in the book, not sure if it was intentional or not.
If not ... and he moves on with his life and the Glen close character, then the book is a more poetic ending.
If an intentional dive, then I can see why the movie screen play writer changed it and its for the better.
Anyone know what the time stamp is in the movie for this?
1939
As a Detroit Tigers fan, I feel like Justin Verlander was the Roy Hobbs who wasn't.
Adam Fuller This is so obviously about Mickey Mantle hair and all
