I am certainly struggling at the moment; I have very few followers and pathetic royalties. Thus, I am appreciative of such advice.

There was another part of FIELD OF DREAMS that moved me to tears: the scene near the end, in which Costner's character gets to "toss a few balls" with his father. However, his father is not the "broken" man he knew growing up, but the young, ambitious, aspiring baseball player who had a dream. Their exchange reminds the viewers of how we never get to know our parents as they were when they were our age -- i.e., as contemporaries and (dare I suggest it) friends and equals.

FIELD OF DREAMS is not only the greatest baseball movie ever made. It is a profoundly beautiful story with several important metaphors from which we can learn.
