从阮想看的电影里发现了这部片子,男主还演过《后天》,很man。电影基本可以分成两部分,前半段是孩子们实现梦想,后半段是男主自己实现他的梦想。虽然结局可以早早猜到,但还是很感动。女主侧脸看上去有点像比诺什,父亲的扮演者在《大鱼》里演爸爸。
很奇怪,自己其实不怎么懂棒球(看这部影片,我才知道手套还分一二垒),但就是很喜欢跟棒球有关的影片。常常带给我希望,还有感动……

简单总结了一下进入大联盟之后的战绩:总共出塞16场,0胜0败,4.8的ERA,这个有点高了。总共投出13个三振。后来肩伤复发,最后一场大联盟比赛对阵洋基队,延长赛10局下半满垒上场,以一个再见保送结束了大联盟生涯。被光芒队releasee了之后曾被道奇的小联盟选中过,但是没过春训就被release了从而结束了棒球生涯,之后就出了书并作为励志演讲家走穴了。
那个年代98mph应该已经很不错了,但是可能年龄确实太大了而且缺乏比赛经验,大联盟的经历不能算是很成功。但是不管怎么说35岁还能有勇气追逐梦想都令人尊敬。
以下是维基百科:
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_MorrisMorris was originally selected 466th overall in the January 1982 amateur baseball draft by the New York Yankees but did not sign. He would then later be selected fourth overall of the 1983 amateur draft (January Secondary) draft by the Milwaukee Brewers and signed with the organization. He suffered several arm injuries in the minor leagues, and was released during the 1987 season, never having progressed past the single-A minor leagues. He signed with the Chicago White Sox organization for 1989, but was again unable to rise past the single-A leagues.
Unable to make anything of his career, Morris retired to become a high school physical science teacher and baseball coach at Reagan County High School in Big Lake, Texas, with his wife Lorri, his 9-year-old son and his five and one-year-old daughters.
While coaching baseball for the Reagan County Owls in the spring of 1999, Morris made a promise to his team that he would try out for Major League Baseball if his team won the District Championship, something the team had never accomplished before. His team won the title, and Morris kept his end of the bargain by attending a Tampa Bay Devil Rays tryout. The scout wasn't interested in Morris, but gave him a tryout solely to let Morris keep his promise to his players. Surprisingly, Morris discovered that in spite of his age, and having several surgeries on his arm, he was able to throw 12 consecutive 98-mph fastballs. After much debate with his family, Morris signed a professional contract with the Devil Rays organization at the age of 35. He started out with the Minor League Double-A Orlando Rays, but after a few appearances he moved up to a spot with the Triple-A Durham Bulls. Thanks to solid pitching performances with Durham, Tampa Bay gave him a chance to pitch with the big club when the rosters expanded, and on September 18, 1999, against Royce Clayton of the Texas Rangers, the 35-year-old Morris made his debut, striking Clayton out on four pitches. His goal of pitching in the majors was finally realized, and he made four more appearances later that year.
Morris made 16 major league appearances in 2000, during which his arm problems recurred. His final appearance came on May 9, 2000, at Yankee Stadium. He entered a tie game in the bottom of the 10th inning with the bases loaded, and issued a game-ending bases-loaded walk to his first batter, Paul O'Neill, after which the Rays released him. He was not the losing pitcher in the game as the runner who scored on the walk was actually put on base by the previous pitcher, who was tagged with the loss. Morris never recorded any wins or losses in any of his major league appearances.
Morris was signed in December 2000 to a minor-league contract by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but was released during spring training. At the end of his major league career he was 0–0 with an ERA of 4.80 and 13 strikeouts.[2][3]
Morris has released an autobiography, The Oldest Rookie. He often appears as a motivational speaker, and currently receives $9000–$15000 for each appearance.[4][5]
A feature film made by Disney called The Rookie was released in 2002 about Morris's climb to the big leagues. He was portrayed in the film by actor Dennis Quaid.[6]
看这部电影的时候我想起了今年大火的苏珊大妈,来自于小镇,其貌不扬,但是都拥有着某一领域的特殊技能,更重要的是他们都拥有着一颗梦想不灭的心,这颗心没有因为岁月的流失而老去!
danis Quid的表演不外露但却很吸引人,而他发达的肌肉也让这个主人公更有可信度!
其实到了中年的梦想已经不仅仅是你自己的梦想了,你去实现自己的梦想是要让自己的家人,孩子,朋友,学生,和小镇上所有默默无闻的人,告诉他们生活的价值和永远不要放弃的信念!
片子前面的基调也定的很好,一场和学生的打赌才使老师又走上了重返职业之路,可信度较好!还有父子间,夫妻间的关系都拿捏得不错!
ps:儿子是好汉两个半的小男孩!
棒球真是热血的运动,一部这么简单主题的电影哭了好几次。
这类励志片子实在看得疲劳了
中年投手的故事。其实三振什么的就是集体运动中的个人英雄主义嘛。投手位置真是太骚了!
有梦想就要立刻去追求 多晚都没关系
前后两小时完全脱节,有意义么,不如干脆点直接自己去面试不就好了
想走old school路线,但只做到了形似吧
无论作为编剧还是作为导演,John Hancock就擅长写这种高唱积极生活追求梦想的励志故事,绝不会让你灰头土脸地去悲催地绝望
竟然是真实人物,片尾令人大吃一惊。很好看,丹尼斯奎德演的很好,都以为是一个小镇教练带领球队获得不可思议的冠军,没想到竟然是自己去圆梦……电影比现实美好,事实上,他妻子和他离婚了。
看过橄榄球、足球、篮球、冰球、高尔夫,终于来了棒球,没什么亮点,和往常一样四星。
moris推开bullpen的大门走进MLB赛场的那一瞬间,感觉挺在那里就足够
美国德州 救援投手 快速直球。虽然是2002年的片子,虽然定义范围是励志鸡汤文,但是片子里并没有大制作场面,也没有煽情的话语。30岁男人一头家的困扰呈现,父亲给的中肯的建议梦想是一回事,现实又是一回事。这句话不无道理,在小联盟三个月妻子在家里带着三个孩子收入下滑支出拘谨,毕竟化学老师的收入完毕救援投手600美金的收入多的多,自己有决定放弃,妻子徘徊后的鼓励,哪怕是为了同样热爱棒球的儿子做个榜样。男主也是幸运的三个月直升入大联盟。结局也是现实的完成两季大联盟比赛,梦想圆满了。落幕了想到自己追的日剧《棒球大联盟》还是有用的赛场规则术语都能看懂,想起了越挫越勇伤痕累累勇往直前的吾郎,而这个片子中的男主也是20几年不放弃,而且更多了许多现实味道
对于我还是喜欢足球多一点。。但这个是正统的励志片,看得很舒服,父亲的形象很感人。
“You do not have dreams,you do not have anything。”
开局水准颇高,只可惜越到后面越落入俗套,前后判若两片。
看得太多就没什么新意了
梦想和年龄无关

im so tired.
尤其是MORRIS奔向大联盟球场时所有的欢呼 所有的呐喊 所有的感动都为他而来 一直坚持着最初的梦想自己也被主人公从内心里深深的感动必定会迎来成功的七彩世界Buy the way,his son is really very cute.
父子关系,给男人看的电影。男主你老演这种有运动天赋但中途受伤放弃的角色你知道吗,i mean狗狗的故事。
