Field of Dreams is a 1989 American sports fantasy drama film written and directed by Phil Alden Robinson, based on Canadian novelist W. P. Kinsella's 1982 novel Shoeless Joe. The film stars Kevin Costner as a farmer who builds a baseball field in his cornfield that attracts the ghosts of baseball legends, including Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta) and the Chicago Black Sox. Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones and Burt Lancaster (in his final film role) also star.

#FieldofDreams #Reaction
End Music by: Diego A. R. Delfino
I've never seen anyone completely miss the the doctor being the kid they pick up on the road. Ray got transported into another time when the doc was still alive, back in the 70's and had that convo, the Doc tells the story of his brief playing days and what he'd like to do with the wink and all.. so of course in order to play he'd have to be younger so he shows up as he was younger, he then becomes his older self as a doctor to save Karen because he even said that being a doctor was more important in his life than his having played. Karen, Ray's kid is giving that info about people will come because she too was receiving info, like the wife having the same dream and etc., I've seen other reactors kinda miss that aspect. You have to suspend belief and not make it so straight forward and logical , i mean it is a film about baseball players coming back to life in a corn field,lol
Thank you for the info! Glad to hear a few others missed it too. It totally went over my head! Lol I agree , you gotta keep your belief suspended!
Totally agree.....so much was missed in this "movie reaction".
I really wonder how she makes it through the day without a helmet on. Hopefully she appreciates being pretty for the moment. Soon she’ll just be old AND stupid.
Yeah. She really had trouble keeping up with this one.
Also, that when Ray went for his nighttime walk in Minnesota, he stumbled into 1972. The re-elect Nixon poster? The Godfather - one of THIS year's ten best? That's how he was able to bump into "Moonlight" Graham.
This movie is responsible for so many random dad hugs.
Perhaps for numerous birthday present or Christmas gift upgrades!
Cami, I saw that you were greatly confused around the 23:20 minute mark when Ray (Kevin Costner) went for a short walk outside the motel room. Firstly, yes, Archie Moonlight Graham was dead (he died in 1972). You thought that Ray was looking for 'clues' during his short walk. No...when Ray walked on the street outside the motel, he wasn't looking for clues. In that scene, Ray realized that he had suddenly traveled back in time to the year 1972, to a point in that year in which Doc Graham was still alive. That's why he was looking at the various signs such as 'Re-Elect Richard Nixon' (for the 1972 General Election), the sign at the cinema for 'The Godfather' (a movie released in 1972), and the Year listed on a license plate. So, when he was speaking with Doc Graham in Doc's office, THAT was Ray (from the future) who time-traveled to 1972 to speak with Doc Graham who was still alive. That's what that scene signified. It was a TIME TRAVEL scene. (Btw, I was born overseas and didn't know anything about baseball when I first saw this movie as a teenager in the early 2000s, and even I immediately got it...lmao).
Anyway, back to the present time, the hitchhiking kid that they picked up on the highway, WAS a ghost (the younger teenage version of Doc Graham). Again --- the kid that they picked up on the highway was indeed DOC GRAHAM --- a young teenage GHOST of Doc. I was flabbergasted that you never got this...lmao. And by the way, the old actor who played Doc Graham was Hollywood legend Burt Lancaster. This role in 'Field of Dreams' was his very final role before he died. In the scene after he saved the little girl, and everyone was bidding him farewell, when Shoeless Joe Jackson then tells him, "HEY ROOKIE!! You were good", that was a double entendre to also represent a respectful heartfelt farewell to a Hollywood legend being bid farewell on his very last scene on the movie screen.
A truly wonderful film that stays with you after you see it. Such a uplifting story with some great actors in it. Best part I think is when Archie Moonlight Graham steps off the baseball field and becomes the Doc. A lovely ending too with the endless cars arriving and their financial future secured. Great film.
I love James Horner’s score for this film. He also did the scores for Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III the Search for Spock, Apollo 13, Titanic, The Rocketeer, The Land Before Time, The first Avatar film.
I also love his "Glory" score. Another great film that Cami should review if she hasn't seen it yet.
Grab a copy of the cd. I've listened to it so often, putting scenes to the music as it plays. It ranks up there with the soundtrack to The Blues Brothers and Young Einstein.
@@tonyhaynes9080 I own the soundtracks to Field of Dreams. I have never heard of the film Young Einstein before. I have heard of Young Frankenstein before.
And left us way too young
Also The Name of the Rose and Gorky Park.
Hi Cami, nice to see you back again! 😊When Ray goes out for a walk when they are at the motel, he time travels to the 70s to meet Moonlight Grahan. That is why there are 70s related things like Nixon running for office and "The Godfather" playing at the movie theater. Ray looks at the license plate to see what year the license plate says. When they are driving back home, they pick up Moonlight Graham who is now a young kid going by his regular name of Archie Graham, unaware that he is actually in the future. Great reactions to this very well-made fantasy classic, Cami!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
Aw thanks so much! I appreciate your sweet comment and explaining it too me!:)
Burt Lancaster was always such a handsome (& famous)actor. He should've at least gotten a mention, even for the bit-part as Moonshine
I'm surprised you couldn't comprehend that Archie Graham was the ghost of Archibald Graham the doctor. Ray and Terence knew the kid was a ghost as soon as he introduced himself in the van.
I honestly don’t know either , I watched my reaction and was like what!! How did I not get that Lol it is a rare first time watch phenomenon 😂
Kevin went back in time to when Moonlight was still alive. Remember the Nixon re-election poster, the new release of The Godfather in 1972, the license plate said 1972? He went back 17 years. The young Archie Graham WAS the older Moonlight Graham.
The time-travel bit was, of course, obvious to folks when the film came out. But I can understand how the difference between 35-year-old references & 50-year-old references might escape someone.
Aw thank you! I really appreciate your comment!!
@@Letstunein That's actually a problem with watching any older work that's about a still-older era. "Gone with the Wind" is a 1939 movie that takes place in 1860-66, so the modern viewer has to sort out the parts that are 1930s values & assumptions from those that are 1860s values & assumptions -- and to the extent that the 1930s are *commenting on* the 1860s, we may simply be unable to read it & understand.
didn't it feel just like a dream when Terrance stood up and gave his speech about baseball as he walked over to the field and the players all stood behind him? When he finished he was sitting exactly where he was before he started as if it never happened. Later he was asked to join them in the cornfield, it was almost an afterthought. He said... "if I had the courage to go through with this, I could write about it." Perhaps it was not understood before that moment that he probably had already passed away. Did he? Maybe he hadn't but the point is that he found his passion to write again... Was it significant that he spoke about the waking dream of a nation while standing on this field, this field of dreams?
Personally, I don't believe Terrance Mann died when he went over to the other side. My reasoning is that in the original book, it was a very real J.D. Salinger whom the author put into the Mann role. When the movie was being made, Salinger let it be known that he would not agree to being in it. So they created another writer with very Salingeresque characteristics. Since Salinger didn't die in the book, I presume Mann didn't die in the film either.
Cami! You were fighting back tears, eh! Well I was less successful. This film is famous as being the film that makes all men cry, so I'm in good company. Oh...when Ray asked Doc Graham, "You can't go back?," you asked, "Can't go back to what?" Ray meant Doc Graham couldn't go back to being the young Archie Graham. Then you later asked, "Where did the kid go?" He didn't go anywhere; he reverted to his older self, Doc Graham, when he came off the field to help Karin.
Did you know Archibald "Moonlight" Graham was a real major-league player? And his story is real. He's in the major-league records as having played only one game, without getting a chance to hit. Also, the story about the White Sox players being banned was a real story. And did you know Shoeless Joe Jackson had the third highest batting average (number of hits divided by number of times at bat) in major league history? 1st - Ty Cobb at .366 2nd - Rogers Hornsby at .358 3rd - Joe Jackson at .356
Not a big deal, but I just wanted to mention I kept hearing a low rumbling noise through the reaction. Some kind of mic noise? Thanks for doing this. I can watch this film every week! :)
Wow, thank you for all that information. I didn’t know those facts, really cool to hear! I always appreciate these comments. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and I’m glad you joined me! :)
Also, We actually lost battery on the boom partway through. Thanks for letting us know!
🙂
Sorry, Cami. You are my non lightbulb for Archie.first person who didn't have the lightbulb moment. Doc Graham died 16 years before Ray shows up. Ray gets sent back to see Doc anyway. THe GODFATHER great movie from 1972. Ray reads the license plate and it's 1972. Ray meets Doc. Archie "moonlight" Graham. He tells Ray he can't go. Ray picks up kid looking to play baseball named Archie Graham. Archie gets to live his dream and still finds that Doctoring was what he was meant to do. Doc gets to go back to Minnesota via the "cornfield express."
Oops ! Just got dyslexic in my editing, AGAIN. Sorry I didn't get it cleaned up before my finger said I was done. Really appreciate you understanding what it takes to make guys get all teary-eyed. This field is still in Iowa, as far as I know. MLB also built an adjacent field and they play a regular season game every year. As far as I know. James Earl Jones has more baseball related movies. THE SANDLOT and BINGO LONG TRAVELING ALL-STARS AND MOTOR KINGS." Bingo Long is a movie about one of those traveling baseball teams Archie was talking about. Okay, I think I'm done. Thanks for watching.
This movie came out in 1989, so when Kevin Costner sees "The Godfather" (which came out in 1972) on the theater marquee it's pretty clear that he has traveled back in time. But I wonder if now in 2023 both "Field of Dreams" and "The Godfather" are just "old movies" and to a modern viewer might have been contemporaneous so it's not as clear that he has traveled back in time?
Everyone cries at the end of FoD
Just your kind of movie, it seems, Cami. Sweetly happy reaction to a great film.
Aw it’s true lol I love uplifting films !
Oh, goodness. James Earl Jones is still around. And he's gettin' _up_ there, _too._
The Daughter is also in Uncle Buck and Sleepless in Seattle with Tom Hanks.
Never once said "they will come"
SO MANY people get this wrong. It was never "They"
You saw Ray go back to 1972, so why wouldn't Doc be alive back then?
I'm still in shock how you didn't realize Ray & Terry picked up young Doc Graham at the side of the road.
I know, I’m kicking myself that I missed it. I actually didn’t realize Ray went back in time! That would have helped me to catch it all. Thanks for always checking out my reactions @shallowgal462!!
@@Letstunein It's understandable, because you're not just watching for you, but are under pressure to react for an audience of thousands behind a camera. The clues such stress made you miss were a Nixon re-election poster, The Godfather playing at the theater with a blurb that it was (one of?) the year's best, and the inspection sticker's year on the license plate. I'm sure you would have caught them if you'd just been watching privately on your own.
@@shallowgal462 Yes, I really did miss all of those! Didn’t notice at all. I was just looking at the surface. What a kind comment! Thank you my friend! :)
Cami, now you should watch Eight Men Out (1988) to see the whole story of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the 1919 Chicago White Sox (aka the "Black Sox") The movie features John Cusack, John Mahoney (the dad from Frasier), Charlie Sheen and Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown from Back to the Future)
The kid, Archie Graham, became Dr. Graham.
5:15 "Who are you, huh? What do you want from me?"
It sure would be a refreshing change if the intelligence behind this voice were the type to have _conversations._
You remind me of a young Geena Davis who is the star of another baseball movie you'd love: A League of Their Own.
Yes! I’ve gotten Gena Davis before. And I do love that movie! grew up watching it:)
Great reaction Cami💚
The voice never once says "If you build it, they will come." It was always "he." One of those Mandela Effect things.
Love this film, love the reaction 👍👏🏻😁🇬🇧
I’m so glad to hear it:) thank you!
that last scene gets me every time....
It’s perfect!
this is a great movie but there is a story after the story and this one is in real life about how they built the field for the movie and how they have kept it and used it since then. i found your reaction good but you got confused about the doctor as others have said .
Great movie reaction:) you just got yourself a new subscriber^^
Yay! Thanks for joining us:) that makes me happy!
You also had an issue with missing some plot points. A second viewing should get you up to speed though.
I agree! Second viewing would help to take it all in! Thanks for watching!!
You cut out an important part when he said "IT was you" and Shoeless Joe says "No Ray, it was you" with regards to ease his pain
I'll give you a pass because you're cute. But I find that line to be poignant because Ray is thinking at that moment that the field was built for his dad, to ease his dad's pain. When in fact, Ray built the field for himself, to re-connect with his dad, to ease his own pain.
Jeeze. How cold you miss all that?
Sorry I am sure this will sound mean but, it seems like you didn’t follow the movie all that well. It is odd how the story unfolds but, shoeless Joe and all the ball players were long dead before the field was built. Moonlight Graham died n the 1970’s, 10 years before the movie takes place. Archie Graham is his real name, Moonlight was his nickname, not his father hahaha. I admit it can be hard to follow in the first half before you meet shoeless Joe, but after I think it is pretty clear these are spirits. The point of the movie is the desire to find the love not just of baseball but what it can represent to people. A way to share joy with people you love, and create perfect little moments in life that can seem like heaven on earth. Thus a field of dreams. The more interesting bit is whether Terrence Mann was a spirit when he met Ray. I always thought he was alive, but in the paper it says his son is worried as he has not returned his calls, not sure if it said specifically he was missing. So the reason he is allowed to go into the corn with the players is because he is already dead. Haha not sure but this is a cheesy great movie that tugs at the heart strings and isn’t meant to be literal, it is a fantasy
Aw not mean at all! Thanks for your explanation. It blew past me upon first viewing for sure! Was too busy thinking of them getting back to the field. Glad you joined me for this one! :)
If u weren’t tearing I’d be concerned
Right! It’s emotional in the best way!! I love it
ty cobb was a great baseball player but was also called the meanest man in baseball he would slide into a base feet first and try to stick the baseman with the spikes in his shoes great player lousy man.
Wrong
Dobbs legacy was ruined by all stump and his book...stump never knew or spent time with Cobb and waited for him to die to publish his lies.
A new book published A few years back does a lot to right the wrongs.
A Terrible Beauty is the book that proves stumps book incorrect and fiction
I have proof of cobbs marriage that players from around the league filled 6 horse carts full of wedding gifts.....for someone they hate huh
lol, the photoshop in the old style. ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS NO PHOTOSHOP, AND THINGS WERE JUST NATURALLY OLD.
Photoshop was actually created in 1987, isn’t that crazy! One of the older pic’s definitely looks manipulated to me. But could be wrong. Just using my artist eye on that one
I HOPE YOU FIGURED OUT THE STORYLINE WITH MOONLIGHT.
I had a few people explain it! I didn’t realize he time traveled at all! I thought another man from the past just appeared. Thanks for joining in!
She completely missed the most significant parts of this Film! Sheesh
Is she serious she thinks that's his son and he's turning into his dad a doctor
who dey
Really skipped over the whole book ban thing that is happening now eh?
wow you are so lost.
Burt Lancaster's final theatrical film and this was indeed a home run!
Younger people like the young lady doing this reaction video usually don't know that Burt Lancaster was a major movie star during the 50s & 60s & won't understand the significance of your comment. But I am older. So I do. I didn't realize this was Burt Lancaster's final theatrical film. Thank you for your comment.
Ba-dum, Ching.
One of my favorite Burt Lancaster films is called....
The Train (1964)
Movie is about the French resistance during WW II and his character is the Railway inspector marking sure that things don't go as good as they should for the German Army 😉
His acting was amazing but he also did all of his own stunt work !
My absolute favorite actor!
The doctor and the kid ball player were the same person, not dad and son.
Doctor got to live his childhood dream of playing pro ball, if only for a day.
Moonlight Graham was a real person, he WAS a doctor who cared for the poorer folk of his community, just like the people say in the movie..the people who are talking about him were genuine members of that community, and they all knew Doc Graham personally. They're not actors, they're local people actually recounting their stories of him.. that's such a nice touch in this movie, which is one of my all-time favourites..I'm British, I could never get the hang of baseball, but that really doesnt matter, this is a brilliant movie, and you'd have to be a cynical old grouch not to be moved by it........I know I am, every time I watch it..
The old guy and the young kid were the same person.
Sometime after old Dr Graham talked to Ray, he must've changed his mind. He tagged along with Ray as his younger self in order to play on the field and achieve his dream of batting against the big leaguers. After he gets his moment, he gives Ray a nod in appreciation. Then after the daughter falls, he decides to cross over to his old self as a doctor to assist, knowing he couldn't return. He sacrificed his dream again to be a doctor, which was his true destiny.
Aw that’s so neat! Thanks for telling me! I totally missed the connection when they picked him up! Glad to hear this!
Everyone on the field is younger than the were when they died. They're all at the age they were in their prime. Any of them could have stepped off the field. But, if they did, they would revert to the age they died. Which is what happened to Dr. Graham.
I agree with your interpretation of what happened.
I love a movie that doesn't follow the "rules" of life as we commonly perceive them, and the things that happen transcend into flights of fancy.
She is so dense.
The result of his trip to the plate? A SACRIFICE fly.
the kid was moonlight as a young man when he step off the field he became a doctor
It’s unfortunate she missed this completely - I thought it was such a well written part of the script.
A film that can make men without fathers cry….❤️
And with fathers
So many reactors think the voice said "they will come". The Voice NEVER said "they", it was only "he will come."
So when Terrance Mann was thought to be missing, Ray went for a walk to give Terrance Mann privacy to make a call. When he was out on the walk he saw the Doctor (Moonlight Graham) walking. Ray was in the past because if you notice the year on the license plate and and the theater sign was show “This Godfather” which was in the 70’s…the kid they picked up was Moonlight Graham when he was a kid. Introduce himself as “Archie Graham” if you notice the name was Archibald “Moonlight” Graham. They needed the doctor there to save Karen so the brother could finally 35:57 see the ball players so Ray wouldn’t sell the farm.
“If you build it, he will come,” “Ease his pain” and “Go the Distance” was referring to Ray and his father’s relationship
Gotta fix that mic. The background noise is tough to listen to. Great reaction though. The young kid was a younger version of Moonlight Graham, the doctor. He got his wish - to bat in the majors, then when we rescued Karen, he gave up his opportunity to stay on the field - essentially in heaven - and continue to play. He achieved his dream, then chose being a doctor over being a baseball player, just as he implied earlier.
Agreed, that background noise was driving me nuts all through it.
Apologies guys. Our mic battery died part way through! Thanks for joining in!!
Reactions are enjoyable but would be much better with a better mic.
Cheers.
Owned this movie on all formats, VHS, Laser disc, dvd, Bluray and now on 4K. It's my favorite sports movie. Great cast with Costner, James Earl Jones and Burt Lancaster. This also has one of my favorite James Horner scores. I tear up every time when he says, "Dad, wanna have a catch?" My son and i have talked about going to visit the ball field ( it's open to visitors), it's on our bucket list. You seemed pretty confused about Archie Graham. Ray met Archie on the road as a younger "ghost". He went with Ray to the "Field of Dreams" to fulfill his dream of playing on a professional team, which he did. When Karen choked on a hot dog, he walked across the barrier to help her and became his old doctor self. He couldn't go back to playing ball so he went back to "Heaven" with his dream fulfilled.
I know! I loved that he called him Dad, and then played catch!! I was glad he acknowledged that! Great ending to the movie:) also thanks for explaining! I had no idea he even time traveled to meet moonlight!
and he still didn't get an official at bat (preserving the time-space continum or something) - as sacrifice flys do not count as an 'at bat'
As someone who likes reaction channels, I find this movie to be a great barometer. If the reactor can't follow the story, I know they won't be a channel worth watching.
Well said. So frustrating.
he can't go back to the game
A great movie period .... That it had a baseball theme makes it epic. Fun reaction Cami❤ FYI Kevin Costner was a good baseball player and played on one of the top college programs Cal State Fullerton before focusing on acting.
Oh nice! Thanks for the info and watching along with me!! :)
Just to let y’all know, there was some sort of audio interference during the video. It sounded like someone running their hand over a mic. It was pretty bad.
You seem to be a bit confused about the kid. The kid wasn't some relative. He was a young version of Archibald Graham. When he crossed the line, he turned back to his old self.
good reaction to a baseball movie. I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God will not allow sin to enter heaven; into His presence, because He is holy. so, God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is severe, wrathful and just. but God is also loving and merciful. so, all of God's attributes, His goodness, holiness, justice, severity/wrath, plus His love and mercy, must all work together in harmony, without one attribute negating or lessening another. that's why Jesus Christ, who is fully man and fully God, and lived a sinless life, was found worthy to be sacrificed on the cross for our sakes (because paying for our own sins means an eternity in hell). and here are the steps to receiving this gift; to be saved:
1. admit that you're a sinner and are lost.
2. realize that the penalty of sin is death (hell).
3. believe that Jesus (who is God) died on the cross, was buried, then rose from the grave, to pay the penalty for man's past, present, and future sins.
4. trust Christ alone as your Savior, and not on your own good deeds to get you to heaven (nor a combination of faith and your self-righteous works).
5. pray to God NOW that you're following these steps because if you die before making this decision, it will be too late for you.
YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL CAMI ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰🥰DONT HAVE MUCH TO ADD TO THIS GREAT MOVIE EXCEPT THAT IT WAS FUN WATCHING IT WOTH YOU 😇😘😘😘😊😊😊😊😊
Cami, Dr. Graham was Archie as an older gentleman. He decided to become a doctor instead of play professional baseball.
I live 40 minutes from the field. I have taken my 2 son's and my 2 step-son's to the site "to have a catch".
"Annie" and "Karen" both were in "Uncle Buck" Doc Graham returned as a rookie, which he would have been, at the time of past events. They picked up young Archie Graham and he got to fulfill his dream of batting. When Archie crossed the line at the field, he returned to Doc. Doc was not allowed to return to his young rookie self.
MAN DID YOU MISS THIS MOVIE BY A MILE!!!!! THE KID IN THE VAN IS DOC GRAHAM..BETTER WATCH IT AGAIN. WOW
🤷🏼♀️
And he went back in time to meet Doc. How do you NOT get that? The license plate said 72. The marquee says Godfather is the Movie of the year.
@@GoVandals0605 I really don’t know, but I did miss it lol I find it funny now, looking back. I think I was stuck on them being in reality outside of magical things going on at the field. Oh well! 😁
Easily the worst reaction I’ve ever seen for this movie.
All those “clues” he saw when he was meeting Moonlight Graham, was showing him that he has gone back in time, when he was still alive.
The kid they picked up is Archie "moonlight" Graham when he was a teenager...
Ray gave him his dream ... bat in the big leagues ( it wasn't official, but it had the greatest baseball players of that era, so that worked) & when Karen got hurt, he changed to a doctor his real true calling ❤
( not sure how you missed all the hints on that one... but you're not the 1st reactor that missed the connection I've watched a few that missed )
What an amazing movie... I bet I've watched this film over 100X
Best of luck with the channel 🙂👍
What a sweet comment! Thank you! I’m glad you joined it! It really is a great movie, I didn’t know I would enjoy it as much as I did!:)
They probably missed it because they're too busy trying to think up things to say rather than actually paying attention to the movie.
Any movie with James Earl Jones always raises it up to another level, such is his presence and acting ability - would love to meet him if I had the chance...
His presence alone does so much! It’s very cool!
This is one of my favorite movies ever since I was a kid.
I had a huge crush on Kevin Costner from this movie, and Dances with Wolves which is a epic must see film, and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and Bull Durham. So may great films he was in.
I am a dreamer too.
And sometimes I have to stop just dream and take action and make it happen.
Cause sometimes your dreams aren't going to come true unless your willing to work hard for it.
Aw beautiful! I love this comment! And I totally agree! You gotta go after your dreams and take chances in life!
Glad you’re a dreamer too!
@@LetstuneinThank you! Yes I had alot of different dreams. And many of them I pursued when I was younger and more physically able to do them. I'm a singer, musician and also grew up in theater and loved to sing, dance and act. I was also in jazz,ballet and dance. And I enjoyed performing on stage. That is when I really came out of my shell. Because off stage I'm calm, a little shy and a bit of a introvert. Lol
I feel free to be free when I'm on stage though. That is when I turn into a loose cannon. Lol
But I did have old regrets. Carreer opportunities I probably could of had with the right education. But I did work other jobs and got by.
But now Im 36 years old and no longer a spring chicken. I physically feel older than what I am. Some of that has to do with my herniated discs in my back, scoliosis, arthritis and inflammation that kills me sometimes daily.
But I'm doing what I can to help it get better under my Doctors guidance.
Seeing a chiropractor regularly helps alot.
But I had ro quit the job I was doing because I could no longer handle the physical demands of the job.
And so I've decided to tackle a regret of mine. Not getting my GED.
It's a long story on why I don't have it.
For one I dropped out of school to be a full time caregiver to my grandmother who had a brain anerism.
She could not walk or talk after having surgery.
She was completely dead weight on her right side which meant she could no longer write with her right dominate hand.
I became her caregiver and bathed, dressed and cooked for her and read to her and we watched movies and I took her to speech and physical therapy.
For many months she could not talk so early on I bought a sign language book and learn how to finger spell the alphabet and several hand signs that would give my Gran a voice again.
So I taught ber how to do it using her left hand. And she enjoyed our study sessions.
Many many months later she was able to speak and walk again. Of course she needed a walker and leg brace but she was walking.
And I enrolled into ged classes and then took my test but I failed the math and the written essay which was something I struggled with in school.
I became so discouraged that I accepted my short cummings and got a job working full time 8 hours shifts 5 days a week and never looked back.
But now, I'm looking back.
I asked myself when I die, what will I regret more? The things I did even if it was a mistake and I learned a valuable lesson from it?
Or will I regret even MORE not facing my fears and going back to try something again.
From there I decided to enroll back into GED Classes. It's scary. I'm no longer conditioned or disciplined as a student since it's been 20 years since I was last in a classroom. But faith is fear that has said its prayers.
I'm not going to let my fear have a say in my action on things that could be good for me. And open up a door of opportunity my way on new carreer options. Maybe even go to college.
It's ok if we fail sometimes.
I learned the hard way that your only a failure when you give up.
So this is me the Dreamer, eating my own words and putting in the hard work to earn my GED. WISH ME LUCK! I NEED IT! LOL!
I loved this reaction.
Doc Graham lived a long life as a doctor and helped so many people. "It would have been a tragedy if he had been a doctor for only 5 minutes." When asked what was his dream he said he always wanted to face a major league pitcher and as he wound up to throw the ball he would wink at him and see what happens...
Aw I’m glad you loved it!! That always makes me happy to hear! Also, that’s really neat to hear about Doc Graham!!
we've seen this movie many times that's why we know it so well. When I fist saw it I wasn't so sure about that scene when Doc Graham was outlined in moonlight. Did I know Ray was visiting 1972, I'm not sure... the main clue is the car registration '72 but that can be missed and who knows exactly what year The Godfather was released, we just know it's an old movie. When the hitchhiker came along, whatever he said his name was, we just assumed it was a coincidence. It was kismet. That's fortuitous coincidence.... and could reveal something meaningful later. You could come to understand it later when the young man became old Doc Graham as he walked outside of the field. Before that is was all just coincidence. Additional meaning can be gleamed later after many years of rewatching. I really appreciate the reaction.
Wow beautifully said and so deep! I love your explanation and understanding!! Thank you for sharing! It made me smile!
@@Letstunein I really enjoyed your reaction, I thought it was great. Now I want to see all your other videos 🙂 This movie is so poetic, it's like literature. I'm often compelled to comment whenever there's a good reaction to it. It's amazing that it's about the 60s but we feel somehow that it's still new. The spray that James Earl Jones was spraying Kevin Costner, that is bug spray, an old pump style, I'm not sure where I've seen it but I suppose liquid goes inside it and it sprays a fine mist that looks like smoke... maybe for mosquitoes.
The young man, "Archie", was Archibald Graham - "Doc Graham", before he gave up baseball and became a doctor. He was getting a second chance to play. When he left the field to save Karen, he became the older version of himself and couldn't go back again.
How she didn't get that?🤦♂️
Doc Graham was a real person. The news story in the movie was his actual obituary. An amazing man, and a true hero.
Wow really! That’s really cool
and the people they talked to about him in that town... actually knew him IRL
This movie was not that difficult to figure out.
the only people that say that are smartasses that knew everything about the movie or already saw it. stop pretending you're smart
This movie is perfection. Its rare, but it happens.
You missed so much from this movie, the entire part where he went back in time to 1972, he was checking the license plate to see the year of the registration. And the phone going off is annoying. A great example of how not to do reactions.
whoever is doing the editing needs to get the audio done much better, it sounds like another track or some background audio is causing lots of problems, very annoying.
15:10 "Y- Y- You know why he stopped writing books. Because he _m*stu*bates."_
🤦♂Oof. Well, _someone's_ not gettin' any.
20:42 "It means we're goin' to Minnesota to find 'Moonlight' Graham."
Careful in Minnesota. The state bird is the mosquito.
I've never seen someone so lost watching this. It's actually mind boggling.
Come on, how did you miss who the doctor was? Pay attention better
The older Moonlighr Graham was played by a huge star of the 1940's and 1950's (and even did films in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's). His most famous film (the one he won a Best Actor Oscar for) was the Birdman of Alkatraz.
From Heare to Eternity was a much more famous film, it was huge and still is. He made an independent film gem in the 60s, The Swimmer. He was always my favorite actor and he died on my 40th birthday.
Fair or not, I’m going to skip this, based on the comments. Though difficult to choose, this may be my favorite movie. I have watched other reactions and all the emotion I feel throughout this movie (despite probably having seen it 75 times) is enhanced watching others experience it for the first time. But I don’t think I could stand to witness someone just not get it. Sorry. 😞
Annie's brother Mark is played by actor Timothy Busfield. He stars in another baseball movie called Little Big Legue (1994) about a 12 yr old kid who manages the Minnesota Twins. It's a good story and the baseball action is really good. It didn't get as much promotion as a similar movie Rookie Of The Year back in the day, but I feel it's the better film.
Gotta do good will hunting, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, gladiator, Shawshank redemption, tropic thunder, there’s something about Mary
Don’t you think it’s a bit self righteous to call those people judgmental? If someone said to you they were being spoken to by your farm, don’t you think you’d wonder about their sanity?
BTW, “bring people in to play” would not generally come close to offsetting the lack of crop. And which people are going to play? There already exist tons of leagues of people of all ages playing baseball.
It never said, “…they will come.” It’s always “he”.
You missed the premise of the movie.... When old Doc Graham didn't travel to Iowa with Ray & Terry, they went home to see the field. They picked up Archie & he was the younger version of Doc. Since Doc only played 1/2 of an innging in 1922 & never got the chance to bat in the major leagues, he left baseball altogether & became a doctor. Doc fulfilled his life-long dream in Iowa, playing against all the greats of his day. When Carrie fell, he accomplished 2 life-long dreams. He was a ballplayer & a doctor, because only a Doc could help her... Now u know... Go Braves, a big fan....
Some constructive criticism if you're up to it: Your headphones make you speak too loudly sometimes. Please stabilize your vocals. I keep my pc volume up so I can hear your mumbling comments, but then you excitedly raise your voice to a "speaking in a noisy crowd" volume, and I can't turn my speakers down fast enough.
I’ve been fighting the tears since 1989. I always lose. What I wouldn’t give to play catch with my grandpa and dad one more time. I’m crying writing this and I’m 50 years old.
If you would pay more attention to the movie and stop giggling you would have recognized the name Archie Graham. (The Doctor) Simply terrible reaction.!
A couple more Kevin Costner movies: Silverado, Dancing With Wolves, Water World, Postman, Bull Durham. 😊
When Ray first met Dr. Graham, he had traveled back in time. The Godfather was just released and Nixon was going for re-election. Early 1970's.
"why...like..am I...like...tearing...like...like.........like......" great reaction
Watch 8 Men Out Because It's A Companion Piece To This Film 📽️
About The 1919 Black Sox Scandal and Shoeless Joe Jackson 😢
The "young kid's" name is Archie. He is the Dr. Graham that they picked up on the road (as a young man) after visiting him as an old man in Minnesota.
You're so beautiful ❤
Should watch movie Hoosiers, about a HS Indiana basketball t team hiring a coach with behind trouble, your feeling about this movie makes me sure you will like it!
My Grandfather pitched for the Reds in 1935/36 ... George Emmett Nelson... so cool to hear you're from Cincy!!
Wow, I'm sorry but this is a display of vacuousness the likes of which can scarcely be imagined.
