Field of Dreams
Director: Phil Alden Robinson
1989
Cute
“If you build it, he will come” this
movie is about a farmer who hears a voice to build a baseball field that
eventually becomes a place where the Chicago Black Sox players come to play baseball. In order to get a sense of the field and the
players playing on the field wide shots and pans were used so the viewer can
take it all in. In the beginning of the
film it shows mostly Ray building the baseball field. Longs shot were used in place of close-ups to
show Ray emotion in build the field. A
particular two shot that I liked was with ray and terry. Ray is at terry house
but Terry has not let him in. On one side
of the door Terry is speaking to him and the other side Ray is speaking. I like the dived that is in this two shot,
old vs. new.
The movie
was touching to see the African-American baseball players play the game that
they love so much that was taken away by them.
The movie teaches me to have faith and believe things. Even when they don’t start out good (like ray
and his field) maintaining faith will ensure the dream. You don’t always have to have a plan to do
something great. All you need is an idea
to plant the seed and watch it grow.
