Over the last few years I have been finding myself tuning into Reaction Channels on a daily basis. The community and the creators make it feel like we are watching movies with friends.

    My all time favorite movie.......not too impressed with your reaction. First......you talk too much during the movie. Nobody wants to hear you sing "Heaven.....this is heaven'. Just watch the movie and react. That is what people want to see. You seem to be the guy that talks during the movie and misses parts of the movie.

      Not too impressed with this comment. First... you comment on a reaction video complaining about him talking too much during the movie. One solution I have for you is to just WATCH THE MOVIE. Complaining that a reactor is someone who talks to much during a movie is like complaining that a minister is too preachy.

And he didn't react to some things due to his talking. So your comment makes zero sense. Not too impressed with your understanding of why people watch others reacting to videos.

    WP Kinsella used a real writer in the original novel. JD Salinger was the author of Catcher In The Rye among others; by this time he'd become a recluse. Kinsella didn't know Salinger and didn't get his permission. By the time of the movie, I think Salinger let it be known that we would not let himself be portrayed on film. So they invented Terrence Mann. But my theory is that Mann was alive and, if the story had continued, would have come back from the cornfield just as alive.
    Moonlight Graham was a real ballplayer, although I believe they played with the date of his death for the movie. The townspeople who told stories about him really were townspeople who knew him. Watch those scenes again; it really does make them more real to know that.

    Great Reaction! This is one of my all time favorite movies. My grandfather was born in Ohio in 1884 and felt the same way about baseball as Shoeless Joe apparently did. It was a huge part of who he was! He played mostly in the Minor leagues, but he actually divorced his first wife because she gave him such grief over playing baseball on Sundays! I have watched many TH-cam videos reacting to Field Of Dreams, and I think I enjoyed yours the most! And I think you are the first reactor who knew that Terrence Mann was using an old fashion bug sprayer to get rid of Ray in that scene! Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction, I subscribed to your channel, and I look forward to seeing more of your reaction videos!

    Terrance Mann isn't a ghost and doesn't become a ghost. He's alive and goes out into the corn to write about what's out there with the idea being that he'll return with the story. Ray asks him for a full report because he'll come back alive. There's zero evidence to suggest he's dead or he died.

He’s loved baseball since he was a baby, and plays travel ball now. We’ve had the hardest couple weeks dealing with the team leaving oakland. It truly is more than a business to us.

    I saw an interview of Matt Damon. He said that he and Ben Affleck were starting out and were extras in this movie. Also, Terrence Mann was not dead, nor did he die. If he was dead the whole time, the concessionaires would not have been able to hear him ask for a hotdog and a beer. If he were dead, he would not been able to interview all of the people in the town about Doc Graham. The purpose of the whole movie was for people to not only get their dream, but to go back and do what they were meant to do. The players went back to playing ball, Doc Graham got his wish, but went back to being a doctor because it was what he was meant to do. Ray reconciled with his father because that was what he was meant to do. Terrence was asked to see what was in the corn to inspire him to write again because that was what he was meant to do. The movie does have a deeper meaning too. People have dreams but not everyone gets to live them out. Some go on to do other things, but does that mean their lives had no purpose? Also, when you are chasing your dreams, it’s always going to be difficult. People are going to tell you that you are crazy and that you should stop and be more practical. But the ones who make their dreams come true ignore the voices of everyone else around them and follow their heart in spite of all the negativity around them. True fact: Ray Liotta died never having seen this movie. Sad. Same with Burt Lancaster. They said it was his last film and that he died before it came out. So it’s like he’s actually walking into that cornfield and into the afterlife every time I watch it.

    Hi, just joined this channel. Looks like you’ve got quite mixed selection of reactions so far which is great. If you ever want to see a great dark comedy/drama you should check out ‘Ghost World’. It’s based on a comic by Daniel Cloves and stars Steve Buscemi, Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson. For me it’s quite thought provoking in its dryness and it’s a bit of a cult classic now. Good luck with the channel. JC

It literally happens right after. He doesn't have to stay because he needs to live. He needs to stay to reconnect with his father. It's literally what the entire movie is about. I don't understand how you can watch the movie and not even grasp what it's about.
      Again, your version of events makes no sense from a character arc perspective. Ray's problem is that he has an unresolved relationship with his father. He has to stay to fix that. Terrence's problem is that he has lost the will to write anymore. By going out into the corn, Terrence has found something new to write about.
      This idea that "it's the afterlife so he must be dead" is just nonsense. You can go all the way back to Greek mythology and see Orpheus, Heracles, and Theseus all go into the underworld as living people and return as living people. Your entire argument is based on this concept that "it's heaven, so he must be dead." But no one is saying that in the movie. The only person saying it is you.

      He didn't pass. Nothing in the movie backs this up. He literally tells Ray he's going to write about it. Who's he going to write about it for? Himself? He's going to release a book as a ghost? He's going out into the corn to find out what's out there, then he's going to come back and write about it. This is much more obvious in the book where it's JD Salinger, who is a real living person (at the time) and isn't going out into the corn to die - he's going to use it a material for a book. I get why people are confused, but Joe (who is a ghost) invites Terrance (who is not a ghost) into the corn so that a writer who has lost his will to write can find it again. That's just a basic character arc. He's not going into the corn to die. That doesn't make any sense from a thematic perspective.

      @@John-ws2zr that monologue helps resolve Ray’s arc (and Mark’s), but not Terrence’s. Terrence’s arc is really clear. He’s become disillusioned with writing and with the effect his writing has on people. Him writing about the field and the afterlife resolves that arc. Him dying doesn’t.
      Everyone else who went into the corn was dead, yes. But everyone else who went into the field died a long time ago. They came out as ghosts and went in as ghosts. Terrence is a different case because he goes in alive, so we have no information at all as to what will happen to him, because we’ve never seen that happen before.
      Given that, we need to rely on what the movie gives us and both Terrence’s character arc and what he actually says make it clear he intends to return and write about it once he’s visited.
