Field of Dreams: A Family Classic

Field of Dreams is a very delicate movie and will cause one to bring back memories of your childhood. It brings the story of baseball and life troubles into one story. The movie will cause one to feel relaxed yet tense at the same time. During the movie it’s hard to know what exactly is going on and gives a sense of mystery. It’s a great movie to watch with your family on a late Saturday night. The story is about Ray Kinsella and how he hears voices in his head. He decides to follow what these voices say by making a baseball field in his major crops. Although he knows his life can become financially destroyed he still takes a huge risk and decides to do what he believes in. Basically the whole movie is about him following these voices that are telling him what to do. A part of the movie that was great about the film was how it could be enjoyed by people of all ages. Children and adults of all ages can feel nostalgic about their pasts and childhood. The relationship with the son and father is something that cannot be missed. Another great part of the film was the plot. The plot is mysterious and keeps you thinking the whole time. The ghosts and the character of Ray Kinsella keeps the audience on their toes the whole time. You just want to keep watching to find out what happens next. The end also makes you come up with your own ending and doesn’t show what happens to the family. What I didn’t like about the film was that it sometimes dragged on because I didn’t really understand what was going on. It annoyed me because I wanted to know what the ghosts and everything was about. However, it still doesn’t clearly explain properly at the end. Another part of the film that could have been improved was the music. Although many of the scenes of the movie had great synergy with the music, others were just overreacted or cliched. For example, when something surprising comes up there would be a loud deep piano noise. I thought Kevin Costner was perfect for the role of Ray Kinsella. Costner has that Marlboro type of image. I could imagine him riding horses in the wild west while smoking cigarettes. He plays his role as a good father and its really interesting to watch how he develops throughout the movie. Mark was also a great character because he portrayed his role as the annoying brother very well. Although I hated him because he was trying to stop Ray thats the beauty of it. Mark is supposed to be hated throughout the movie. It gives the movie a little twist because every character seems too nice in the film. Field of Dreams is a great movie to watch with your family. The relationship with father and son plays a very prominent role and would be great when watching with your parents. It’s a very mysterious movie and the plot will keep you thinking about it for days.
