- Welcome to our first time watching Field Of Dreams (1989).
First time for both Dad and Son. RE-UPLOAD due to flagging.
Oh wow, this film hooked us both in and 100% grabbed our attention. We don't know baseball but that was ok, we got it! This film stayed with us for a while after watching it. And it grew on us more over the following days. In the edit, we saw that there was a moment when Dad was crying, and he didn't know he was crying during the watching! So wow, this is a strong film to do that.
Written and Directed by Phil Alden Robinson, starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta and Burt Lancaster.
Nostalgia, family, Father, Son, sentimental - this film has it all.

Your son is very smart. He figured it out quickly. This movie makes a lot of grown men cry because who wouldn't want a second chance with thier Dad. I'm sorry your Dad never got to meet your son. He would have been so proud.
Thank you. Not long ago I found myself doing a pastime which was a hobby of my Dad’s and then I had thoughts of wishing he could see me doing the thing he also loved very much. These of treasured thoughts and emotions
I would do anything to have a first chance.
@@GenerationMediaReaction My father died when I was 12. He was always reading books including our set of encyclopedias. I became an avid reader all my life.
I agree. I have seen many react to this film and I am impressed your son figured out the hitchhiker was the young Archie Graham even before he got in the car.
Son is SO quick on the uptake with movie clues.
I think you guys would love the movie Mask with Sam Elliot, Cher and Eric Stoltz. 1985ish.
James Earl Jones’s Dad, Robert Earl Jones, was in the Sting. Great movie with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Your son will love it and only have to avert his eyes briefly a couple times.😂
This field is still there, to this day. I live about 90 miles from it. They've added a Major League field just across one of the corn fields. The Major League schedules one game to be played there, every season. Also, the speech that James Earl Jones (Terrance Mann) gives, right before the girl fell, has had a life of its own.
I was very impressed with your Son, having the foresight to know what direction the story was taking. He must be a very inquisitive little man. That says a lot about his upbringing. You should be very proud of him.
A father watching Field of Dreams with his son ... I was ready to cry before I even started watching.
We now know why this film is special
Indeed 😊
Doc Graham is played by Burt Lancaster, in his last film. A lot of his earlier movies are worth checking out. To name a few: "From Here To Eternity", "The Bird Man Of Alcatraz" and "The Train".
James Earl Jones , who played Terrence Mann, passed away recently. He is best known for his voice acting of Darth Vader. He was uncredited for that role , at least at first, per his request.
The Ginger Guy is Timothy Busfield. He got his big break on a tv series 'thirtysomething'. He's great at playing the weaselly bad guy. He had a redemption here but my favorite with him was 'Sneakers'.
Howdy from Texas.
Another really great Father Son film I'd highly recommend is Searching for Bobby Fisher. It's very family friendly and extremely entertaining and touching. And probably best of all. It's based on a true story about real people. IT inspiring, touching, funny and sad, exciting and dramatic. It'll make you want to laugh, cry and cheer for the main characters.
It stars Lawrence Fishburn and Ben Kingsley and several others. It's definitely a film that you will never get tired of watching over and over again.
Love y'all's channel and always enjoy watching your sons reactions as well as yours. And how you allow your boy to discover certain aspects of each movie that you are already aware of. He's obviously very smart and sensitive. Watching you both is a real treat.
one of my favorite movies, every time I watch this film the scene where Karin says "there's a man out there on your lawn" makes me cry every time.
Great reaction and review, guys!
@41:35 I think I agree with your Son on his theory..
I'm not sure, but I have a theory everyone that crossed into the corn field were dead already or stuck on Earth needing some kind of closure with their broken dreams in life...in order to crossover out of their own purgatory. This includes Archibald (Moonlight) Graham and Terrance Mann one of which we were brought to believe was still alive. If you remember correctly, Terrance Mann and Ray both saw the newspaper story about him no longer answering his worried father's telephone calls. Additionally, Terrance makes the comment "there are no rules here" in his own apartment hinting he may have even known himself already and suffering with pain as well...the pain of not doing what used to make him happy - writing.
Each of them had a surprise for them from the field of dreams allowing them closure to cross over. For the players, it was a chance to relive the game again they were banned from. At least two of the players asked "is this heaven?" indicating the moment feels surreal to them like a dream come true and are just as shocked as Ray is at the miracle. The doc got his at bat and recognition he desired and Terrance felt inspired to write again with his faith restored. Finally, although not dead or disappearing into the cornfield, Ray gets the closure from regrets with his own father. Ray was the center piece to bring them all together to the field of dreams. Baseball was the constant over the years as the common denominator for everyone to be brought home to finally rest in peace.
If I'm right on this idea, it's truly some remarkable writing to go along with the amazing score, casting, and acting. The way they all described baseball was poetry. Thick with Americana and nostalgia, I think liked the writers poetry the best. :) As you stated, it was a love letter to baseball. I also think it was a love letter to our human nature to second guess our choices in life.
Sorry for the super long comment. Your reactions inspired me!
REMARKABLE 10/10 Movie. "It's Perfect"
Thanks for your fantastic reaction. We all loved living the moment for the first time again through your reactions too.
Thank you for watching. It’s the father relationship that I liked (not knowing baseball)
Ive seen this movie probably 50 times and never ever thought of Terrance Mann's laughter as he enters the cornfield as him giddy with the passion to write again! I absolutely love that take on it!!!!!
What’s your take on Terence Mann in general ?
Just watching your reaction to Field ... now. I would love to see you and your son react to Harvey! Hardly any reactors seem to recognize that Jimmy Stewart classic.
Yes I think that would be good. We plan to do It’s A Wonderful Life in the lead up to Christmas
@@GenerationMediaReaction Wonderful!!
I love this movie. What a great relationship you’re building for the future 😊 nice work both of you. I’m really enjoying finding a new appreciation for these movies. I look forward to watching you watching Dances with wolves 😌
Thank you! Will do!
I love this movie easily my top 10 no matter how many times I've seen this I still tear up at the end when Ray plays catch with his dad, reminds me when I played catch with my dad and I'd give anything to have one more catch with him now. This is a great father son movie.
For me the line that got me was the ‘never met my daughter’ line
My dad died this past May. Today is his birthday.😢 would be 78. I love this movie, even though it's more father/son. I'm babygirl & my dad and I were extremely close. ❤❤
I am so, so sorry for your loss. My own Dad passed 16 years ago, and I miss him every day. Some day you will remember the happy times the more than the sad.
Best wishes from another Daddy's girl. . .

Doc Graham …Burt Lancaster was a legend in Hollywood…good looking, charismatic…athletic, a great actor…career that spanned,40 years…and the parting words at the end …”you were good” is a direct,reference,from Ray Liota to Burt Lancaster…Burt was good enough for a Academy Award for,Best Actor…
I love this movie. Hearing those voices in surround sound. Also the crack of the bat echoed. The best part was sharing those moments in the dark movie theater with strangers all reacting at once. There was a lot of emotional reactions in that dark, dark theater.
Terrance Mann's father called the police because he had been trying, unsuccessfully, to contact him. Maybe Terrance was already a ghost when Ray went to visit him...
This is a subtle point I missed. Thank you
I lost my dad in April and he was a big baseball fan. The last time he was able to talk to me I held his hand and we watched a Red Sox game on TV for a few innings. He fell asleep and I sat with him remembering when we played catch and all our trips to Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. I have a game used ball I showed him and he held it in his hands. It has marks from the batt and the green wall at Fenway. Holding it he measured the weight in his head and smiled. Is there enough magic in the world we can play catch again?
I love how you describe him holding the ball and feeling its weight. There’s something instinctive and relatable with it
I saw this and immediately added it to my watch later list and gave a thumbs up 👍. However, I can't breakdown crying before work, so I will have to wait until tonight to watch it.
I hope you love your job and have some off days, you are so lovely and the two of you bring a new focus to films I have seen from a British perspective. I would love to see some British or European films as well. Thank you so much! I also have dad stuff.
Thank you so much!
Eight Men Out (1988).
Your editing is just fantastic. Sorry you had to re-upload but man, you manage to get more footage into your review videos than any other content creator I’ve watched and it really makes your videos stand out. I’ll be excited to watch you grow and keep up the excellent work.
Thank you. It’s a balance of clip duration but also the right part(s) of a scene. A lot of care goes into this so they take a while to edit
You are on a roll. Two great movies in a row.
Oh my goodness, I cannot wait for this reaction. Excellent choice, gents. ❤
Edit: I’m not certain but it’s possible you’re re-releasing this in honor of James Earl Jones’ recent death. I could be wrong, but frankly, this reaction is worth seeing several times. Thank you.
Dennis the Menace is a fun movie. Lots of laughs! Walter Matthau, Christopher Lloyd. I’m 70 and I love it.
Dances with Wolves IS exceptional!!! Phenomenal! And a movie that everyone should see. There are only a very few “risqué” situations that could certainly be side-stepped if need be. And it wouldn’t affect the impact of the movie. It would be a very powerful film for you together.
Really look forward to that one when it comes
A person born in 1952 (like myself) would enter college in 1970; hence, Ray Kinsella would NOT have been at college in the 1960s -- he'd still have been in high school. Be that as it may, the story maintains its mystery and warm-heartedness. "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the 7 other White Sox from 1919 were actual major leaguers. The movie "Eight Men Out" -- the White Sox players banned from playing pro baseball the rest of their lives -- examines the "thrown" 1919 World Series. Ray's family doesn't see the players because THEY DON'T BELIEVE in all the possibilities in the universe. Ray, speaking with Terrence Mann, mentions "cosmic tumblers" (as in a combination lock) that "click into place," which is related to the universe's possibilities. You've got a mighty sharp youngster with you, Sir! Impressive!! In essence, two men are relieved of their pain: Ray's Dad as well as Ray himself! And while we don't see Mr. Mann in a movie scene again, we do witness the effects of what he writes about the field of dreams, as evidenced by the visitors at the end. A wonderful reaction video! Thanks! to you two!
It is sooo strange that you have just watched this. My husband put it on for me to watch with him 2 weeks ago. I had never heard of it before let alone seen it. It was very nostalgic for him and now I can watch you guys react to it knowing i've just seen it myself!
It's so good!
I live about 45 minutes from the movie site. I have taken each of my boys there to "Have a Catch". At the time I went, it was still owned by the two farmers who owned the property. (most of the field was built on the farm that the house belonged to, the other part was another farmers field. They each had consession stands selling souvenirs on each side of the field. The whole site was eventually bought by wall street investors, I haven't been back since that happened.) The School book ban scene has my High School banner hanging in it. I guess this scene was filmed at Dubuque Senior high in Dubuque, IA.
One word….EMOTIONAL…
I lost my dad when I was six or seven, and now I am 54. I would give anything to have a catch with him, or just another moment with my mom or older brother who both died this year.
Yeah I hear you
I’ve seen this movie around for ages but never saw it (baseball doesn’t interest me😂) and even now got it mixed up with “the Natural.”
I had no idea it was a woo-woo movie.
Costner’s acting has improved a lot since this movie!
22:47 the Legendary James Earl Jones ( who just recently passed, RIP)(Voice of “Mufasa”, Darth Vader”) so many others! 😊❤
First to comment? LOL
This is such a great movie...and I have seen lots of folks that know nothing about baseball fall in love with it. I hope that Dad and Son will be joining the club. 😁
P.S. Horner should have been nominated and won an Oscar for the music he did in this movie, but Glory came out the same year and he was nominated for that. Still...he should have won for the music in Glory, but was beaten out by the music in a silly Disney animated movie. If I am honest...that is what made me give up on the Academy Awards.
I think it inspired the score for Shawshank Redemption
@@GenerationMediaReaction LOL...I did not even realize this was a reup...I bet I commented almost exactly the same comment on the original! 😂
I look forward to playing catch with my father. The little girl was my mother in 1932.
Robin Hood Prince of thieves. Great cosner movie
I don't think Terrence died in the cornfield because he was alive. And Ray has a crop to harvest and has been out there. Enjoyed your reaction. Yes, do share Dances with Wolves with your son..
It’s interrelating, whilst it is a metaphor for change in Terence’s life, the filmmakers deliberately show him fading away as he walks in to the cornfield.
My personal theory is that Terrence Mann doesn't die; he gets to come back and write his story, I base that on the original novel, which used a real living writer called JD Salinger in place of the fictional Mann. The writer wouldn't have killed off Salinger before his time, so I assume the movie's Mann survived as well. WP Kinsella didn't know Salinger and didn't ask his permission to use his name. For the movie, Salinger said he would not allow his name to be used; he'd become a recluse by then.
By the way, Moonlight Graham was also a real person. The people who told stories about him to Terrence Mann knew the real Graham. That makes their performance just that little bit more compelling.
47:51 such an intelligent young man. Everyone is really put out with the ginger guy! Because he’s the cause of Karen falling, whether it was intentional or not. 😊
The lad is very strong against injustice !
The actor who played John Kinsella just lost his father days before filming. I believe this added to his reactions which is why he was probably crying in the scene. My thoughts are that Terrence Mann died a day or two before Ray caught up with him. The clue is in the newspaper article where his nephew said he wasn't answering his phone. It takes a few days of police investigation and then getting printed in the paper.
This makes sense. I would like to watch it again with this in mind, watching the interactions he has or has not with the other characters etc.
Is this a reupload?
Love love this movie! Great choice, you'll enjoy it.
Yes, it is!
@GenerationMediaReaction thought it was. Well. I enjoyed it the first time...and as well this time lol. Still cry every time. 😢
Hope to see some halloween movies this month! 👍
@@rozequinn1519 We do have something planned for Halloween 😃
Re-thumbs-up. 😃👍
😂Last suggestion-this time😅- THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal. ✌🏼
Some suggestions with both of you in mind…
Hook
Big
Twister
The Impossible
The Lost Boys
Ghostbusters
The Last Action Hero
It’s always a pleasure watching along with you both! ❤
Thank you!
Great film. I thought the two you reacted to it a while back.
We had to do a re-edit because it got flagged
I don't care if it's a reupload. Take my view, take my upvote! I love watching the two of you. Hamilton is a great movie/musical to react to. You can pause it to comment and break it into several videos. They seem to get lots of views
good idea, thank you !
@@GenerationMediaReaction I'm a Gen Xer mom of teens from the USA. I've seen Hamilton dozens of times and many reactions to the show so I would be happy to help you with information about the show and the American history that would be helpful to know. This is a genuine offer so reach out if you are interested
Still surprised your son thought the accident was intentional.
Matt Damon & Ben Affleck were extras in the stadium, their first film.
Please watch _Dances with Wolves_ SOON!
Did you choose this because James Earl Jones just died? If so, I hope you'll keep in mind that so did John Amos and Dame Maggie Smith.
Baseball field, not pitch. A pitch is a throw. The owner of the White Sox promised the players a $2,000 bonus if they made the World Series and did not give it to them so when the Chicago mob heard they stepped in with the money. The lady reading the article was the one who wrote it and the guys in the bar really knew the doc.
Or pitch, a field in British English.
The original Karate Kid (Ralph Macchio & Pat Morita) is very good.
APOLLO 13 is a fantastic “based on an actual historical event” film. Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton (Twister), Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan).
“SIGNS” is a great thriller/ but not gory or dark at all. An excellent film from M. Night Shyamalan starring Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Rory Culkin, Abigail Breslin. 😊❤
Thank you, good suggestions
Here is something to think about. Was Terrance Mann already dead when Ray came to his apartment? Ray only goes into the one room and convinces Terrance to go with him and Terrance never goes back into his apartment. At the Hotel Ray says Terrance is missing and the newspaper says his son who lives in another state has been trying to get a hold of Terrance. Ray leaves to let Terrance call his son, but we never see him dial a number, but Terrance wonders what he should say to his son. After Ray meets Doc. Gram and comes back, there is never anything mentioned about Terrance's conversation with his son, just his conversation with his wife for Ray to call her. So was Terrance Mann's body somewhere in the apartment and Ray met his Ghost?
I think it’s certainly plausible. That line about what to say on the phone is interesting. Stepping back, the whole arc for Terence is a metaphor for his change and to be inspired, like a new ‘life’ and even to ease his pain. If I were to watch this again, I would like to see the extent of other characters noticing or not noticing Terence
Cannot be his father doing the voice because …ease his pain..and if you build it he will come…people don’t talk about themselves that way…the voice therefore must be Shoeless,Joe Jackson…
"Field of Dreams": A Baseball movie that can reduce strong men to tears, then call their father. "Is this Heaven? Yes, it's Iowa." "Terence Mann" is standing in for J.D. Salinger, who refused to have anything to do with this movie. (Idiot!)
