It’s amazing how, not even being a fan of baseball, I can
still be moved by the nostalgia that drips off Field of Dreams. I hadn’t watched it since I was a kid, and I
remembered it as being sort of overly sentimental and hackneyed, but as an
adult, as a grown man who has learned to appreciate America and history and our
collective cultural consciousness, Phil Alden Robinson’s adaptation of W.P.
Kinsella’s fantasy novel stands out as a modern cinema classic.
