----
A phenomenal hit when it was released in 1989, Field of Dreams
has become a modern classic and a uniquely American slice of
cinema. It functions effectively as a moving drama about the
power of dreams, a fantasy ode to our national pastime, and a
brilliant adaptation of W.P. Kinsella's exquisite baseball novel
Shoeless Joe. Kinsella himself found the film a delightful
surprise, differing greatly from his novel but benefiting from
its own creative variations. It is the film that cemented Kevin
Costner's status as an all-American screen star, but the story
resonates far beyond Costner's handsome appeal. As just about
everyone knows by now, Costner stars as Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella,
who hears the mysterious words "If you build it, he will come,"
and is compelled to build a baseball diamond in the middle of his
cornfield. His wife (Amy Madigan) supports the wild idea, but a
reclusive novelist (modeled after J.D. Salinger and played by
James Earl Jones) is not so easily persuaded. The idealistic
farmer is either a visionary or a deluded fool, but his
persistence is rewarded when spirits from baseball's past begin
appearing on the ball field. Past and present intermingle in the
person of "Moonlight Graham" (superbly played by Burt Lancaster),
an unknown player who sacrificed his dreams of baseball glory for
a dignified life as a small-town physician ... but what all of
this means is unclear until the film's memorably heartfelt
conclusion. A meditation on family, memory, and faith, the film
balances humor and magic to strike just the right chord of
thoughtful emotion, affecting audiences so deeply that the
baseball field created for the production has now become a mecca
of sorts for dreamers around the world. --Jeff Shannon
