Barry Levinson master film maker of The Natural, all time great

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

I checked Academy Awards for 1984, where is The Natural? Redford, Close, Duvall, Hershey, Wilfred Brimley, the late Richard Farnsworth and Darren McGavin all give award winning performances. Magical yes, but fairytale (?) as some of your reviewers comment, I would say No, there are too many truths and real life situations. Wonderful script, acting, photography, storyline, sensitive music... who would have thought a movie about competitive sport like baseball would have so much interest and human spirit? It is one of my all time favorite movies, it has a lot of hope, especially for veterans with experience, very entertaining. I know you will thank me for recommending this splendid piece of film, and I personally want to thank Mr Barry Levinson for making it, I consider it a great work, a pleasure to view on screen and I want to share this information with your movie viewers
