Possible spoiler
I did not like Field of Dreams for a clear-cut reason: Nothing happened in the movie. It was saccharine sweet without substance, and the empty ghost players at the end, so what? I am a big baseball fan, but Kevin Costner's forte is not baseball movies, witness also For Love of the Game. Let's have a real baseball movie with a good story, like The Natural for fiction, or for nonfiction sentimentality, just watch The Pride of the Yankees or The Jackie Robinson Story. Field of Dreams is nothing but a big bore. For Shoeless Joe, check out Eight Men Out, which captures his soul, not his shell.
