A True Feel Good Movie

If you are looking for a movie that won't disappoint, make for easy watching on one of those nights when you just don't want to have to think about it to much, then "Field of Dreams" will tick all your boxes.Was it worthy of an Oscar Nomination for Best Movie, I personally think not, but you really have to make your own mind up on that one!A very enjoyable movie nonetheless ?

Great if you're in the mood for gooey

It's a baseball fable based in 1988 in Iowa, Boston, and Minnesota.Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) and his wife, Annie (Amy Madigan), are ex-1960s radicals who have taken up farming in Iowa. They have a daughter, Karin (Gaby Hoffmann), and drive an old VW bus with George McGovern stickers on it. Unfortunately, Ray's father, John (Dwier Brown), has died, and Ray never had a chance to reconcile with him before leaving home at age 17.His father was a minor league ballplayer, and Ray still loves the game. One day in his cornfield, he hears, "If you build it, he will come." This leads to a series of messages and dreams that lead Ray, supported by his wife, to build a baseball field in a cornfield only to find deceased baseball players, including Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta), playing on it.The voices and dreams also lead him to connect with a famous writer, Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), who has not written in years, and a baseball player from 1922, Archibald Graham (Burt Lancaster), who played one inning in his career and never had a chance to bat. Meanwhile, the farm is in danger of bankruptcy, partly because of building the baseball field. However, everything nicely resolves by the end.I think you either like or dislike this movie. There's little reality to it, but for me, today it was a wonderful story. Kevin Costner didn't allow his earnestness to get the better of him. James Earl Jones does a great job of being a mysterious writer based on J. D. Salinger. Ray Liotta was too articulate for the illiterate Shoeless Joe Jackson, but hey, this is a fable.The critics who didn't like it thought it was too gooey. Today I was in the mood for gooey.
