Author is chemically impaired. Field of Dreams and The Natural are fantastic films.

I would argue that Field of Dreams isn’t really about baseball, but has baseball as a backdrop, really.

It is. It's really about a distant father and how it affected his son's life.

The final scene with Ray playing catch with his dad chokes me up every time.

It was scene of forgiveness, and the love that both dad and son have always had for each other, and how that bond will never end.

Even after death.
