My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
"If you build it, he will come". Kevin Costner, a corn field owner hears a voice while walking through his corn field. You need not be a baseball fan to watch this movie. Everyone would be able to relate to this movie in one way or the other. I don't think i have enough words in my vocabulary to write about this movie. Anyways, i will give it a try.
This movie is about how far you will go to do something that "you think" you believe in while others don't. It made me think how everyone's version of heaven can look like if one does exist. Costner, after hearing that voice, decides that he has to build a baseball field by clearing out some portion of his corn field. But, after it was built, nothing happens and he soon has financial trouble and has to decide if he should grow corn again. Later, his family notices a famous baseball player who has been dead for a long time, playing in the field. He then brings along few of his friends to play with him. Costner, however realises his work was not done yet and undergoes so many adventueres which though unbelievable, would make you want to be able to believe in something with your whole heart.
Interesting fact- the baseball field shot during the movie in Iowa is now a big tourist attraction and has been visited by many annually.
