A Sports Masterpiece! One For The Ages!

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2013)

The movie shows how movie legends are made. The photography is what film schools could only dream of. The acting is brilliant...with dozens of all-time memorable lines!! The directing is so detailed and so perfect, it illustrates EXACTLY how athlete's from around the world, of all generations, dream their greatness would be realized and remembered! It captures the very essence of sports and the extremely complex character that all great athletes possess. There are only 5 sports movies that have accomplished this: (the others are: Rocky, Hoosiers, & Chariots Of Fire & Raging Bull)! In all...Barry Levinson and Robert Redford created a MASTERPIECE that will be shown for a 1,000 yrs! It is to baseball and sports what the Wizard Of Oz is to fairy tales. Its is the beauty in the game, it is the pain in the effort, and it is the majesty of an existence! Fathers and sons forever will be in debt. A 10 out of 10!
