An Actors Profile Part 6

January 27th Kevin Costner in...
Field of Dreams
I have to admit it I nearly cried during our final film from Mr. Costner this month. We began with a great film and I'm happy to say that we are ending it on a magnificent one that for a few moments makes you forget your watching a movie and you think your seeing magic before your eyes.
Costner plays a farmer in Iowa who has some serious issues with his father. One day while tending his crop of corn he hears a strange voice in the field saying "If You Build It he Will Cum". Costner doesn't know what to make of this until he is given a vision of a baseball field in his corn. Against all logic he builds this field and along with wife and kid the impossible happens as baseball players from the bast including shoeless Joe Jackson arrive to play in this field.
Why is Costner so good in this I have no idea but he really brings the drama in a big bad way and makes you care about every goal and every thing he is trying to do. The other thing is Costner once again is supported by a wonderful secondary cast including the fantastic James Earl Jones Ray Liotta and Burt Lancaster. All of these actors play their parts well and really make Costner shine in his lead role. I can't say enough about this movie so please go watch it and see why the game of Baseball is such an important past time to all of us.
Hope you guys have enjoyed this Profile on the sometimes brilliant actor Kevin Costner and we will see you in February when we give Hanks for our next profile.
