      This should be proud

            This movie is a must-see movie for my class at university. Dewdrop, who had no interest in various sports before, did not have that much interest in this film. Tom Hanks does not have the shadow of a male god on the poster, and what kind of cheating name this "League of Pink Fans" is. . . . .

            But surprises have always been produced only in this kind of "must-see movie" that looks watery. Although the conflict between the sisters of dottie and kit saw the...

      It's so wonderful that you can't miss it

      For every movie of Tom Hanks, I will not let it go. As Forrest Gump said, he is like chocolate in a box. You never know what his next role will be. This is his early In the movie, I didn’t expect that his acting skills were in place in the early days. The Dugen coach he played was obviously a green leaf, but with such a green leaf, he also acted with characteristics, sloppy, grumpy, every movement, eyes, and looks. It's so natural. The most impressive thing is that he lost points...

      Record a piece of history

      A very mediocre film, I really don't know how it became the tenth box office in 1992.
      There is no ups and downs plot, no fierce physical confrontation, no beauty, and the duration is two hours, and it is mediocre from beginning to end.
      Tom Hanks's performance is also not very good, Madonna also chose such a plain film, their choice of film vision is out of question.
      Really boring film, is it to record a piece of history? A history of liberation of feminism?
      Haha, or...

      The happiest time in life

      It's not so much a movie. After watching this movie with Meng, I checked the background of the story. The whole movie is more like a documentary. Even the characters in the movie are played by actors who look similar to the players of the year.

      During World War II, the baseball tycoon told of the fact that men went to Europe to fight, and the major league lacked players and even faced the danger of disintegration. So the big man sought out beautiful girls from all over the...

      In fact, I don't particularly like sports movies, but I still burst into tears after watching it at the end. When I checked, I found that there was actually a Madonna! The movies of the year I was born, those years, how...

      [Sees Shirley Baker over at the lists]

      Charlie Collins, Racine Coach: Honey, are you supposed to be here or are you on the cut list?

      [Shirley doesn't respond]

      Charlie Collins, Racine Coach: Look, I'm sorry, but if you're cut, you have to leave the field.

      Shirley Baker: [Almost in tears] Mm-hmm

      Charlie Collins, Racine Coach: Well, are you cut? Oh, just look on the list. It's either Rockford, Racine, Kenosha, or South Bend.

      [Shirtley turns to the lists, starting cry, as Helen Haley approaches her]

      Helen Haley: Hi.

      Shirley Baker: Hi.

      Helen Haley: Um, can you read, honey?

      Helen Haley: Alright. What's your name?

      Shirley Baker: Shirley Baker.

      Helen Haley: Shirley Baker. Let's have a look.

      [She looks at the Rockford Peaches list first and spots Shirley's name]

      Helen Haley: This is you.

      [Shirley laughs happily]

      Helen Haley: You're with us. You're a Rockford Peach.

      Charlie Collins, Racine Coach: [Smiling] Go join your team.

      [Shirley joins the Rockford Peaches, sitting down next to Marla]

      Charlie Collins, Racine Coach: Now, you are the first girls in the All American Girls Profession Baseball League. My name is Charlie Collins. I'll be managing the Racine team when the season begins.

      [Racine team cheers]

      Charlie Collins, Racine Coach: Now, at the end of practice today, you're all gonna be fitted for your uniforms and this is what they're gonna look like. Pretty darned nifty if you ask me.

      [Model walks up on the platform in a wool uniform complete with a miniskirt]

      Unnamed Ball Player #1: You can't slide in that!

      Doris Murphy: Hey, that's a dress!

      Mae Mordabito: It's half a dress! Excuse me, but that's not a baseball uniform!

      Doris Murphy: Yeah, what do you think we are? Baseball players or ballerinas?

      Kit Keller: [to Dottie] It's awfully short.

      Dottie Hinson: Short? I'm gonna have to squat in that thing.

      Unnamed Ball Player #2: I can't wear that. My husband'll kill me.

      [Ira Lowenstein approaches]

      Helen Haley: Excuse me, sir.

      Ira Lowenstein: Ladies...

      Shirley Baker: Excuse me.

      Ira Lowenstein: If you can't play ball in this, you can't play ball with us. Now, there are 38 girls on a train ride home, who'll play in a bathing suit, if I ask them.

      Mae Mordabito: Yeah, well, there are no pockets for my cigarettes.

      [Doris laughs]

      Ira Lowenstein: Ah, there is no smoking. There is also no drinking and no men.

      [Mae gets up, angry, ready to leave, but Doris pulls Mae back down against her will, with Mae sitting back down, frustrated]

      Ira Lowenstein: . All of your activities will be approved through your chaperones. And you will also be taking regular classes at Charm and Beauty school.

      Doris Murphy: For what?

      Ira Lowenstein: Every girl in this league is going to be a lady.

      [Marla looks scared]

    • Margaret: [Tosses catchers mitt into Dottie's suitcase] Thought you might need that.

      Older Dottie: Where'd you find this?

      Margaret: In one of the boxes after...

      [Dottie tries it on for size]

      Margaret: Needs oil.

      Older Dottie: Ha! Who doesn't?

      Margaret: You ready?

      Older Dottie: I'm not going.

      Margaret: Oh! Mom! I already got 2 children, I don't need a 3rd.

      Older Dottie: Why is it so important that I go?

      Margaret: Well, for one thing, it'd be nice if you left the room. Besides, these are your old friends.

      Older Dottie: They probably won't even remember me.

      Margaret: The Queen of Diamonds? Dottie Hinson?

      Older Dottie: Margaret, I just don't think this is a good idea.

      Margaret: I don't know what you're so worried about. Plus, you're gonna get to see Aunt Kit. You two ever get to see each other.

      Older Dottie: We still won't. Kit won't be there, she'll be travelling around with that husband of hers.

      Margaret: Frank. He has a name: Frank. And he's always been very nice to you.

      Older Dottie: Makes me nervous.

      Margaret: Mom.

      Older Dottie: Honey, I'm not comfortable about this. I was never really part of it. It was just something I did.

      Margaret: Mom, when are you gonna realize how special it was? How important it was?

      Older Dottie: I...

      Margaret: Yeah, I know. I know how you feel, I really do.

      [Dottie smiles]

      Margaret: But you're going.

      [She forces her up from the kitchen table and out the door]

      Older Dottie: [Heading to the car] Car, plane, a bus. I'm tired already.

      Margaret: You'll sleep on the plane.

      Jeffrey: Grandma's out of the room. Is there a fire?

      Older Dottie: Weisenheimer.

      Margaret: Julie, next door, is watching you and I don't wanna get any bad reports.

      [She gets into the driver's side of the car, as Dottie is fixing her coat]

      Margaret: .

      Older Dottie: Jeffrey? Come here.

      [He heads on over]

      Older Dottie: Listen, no matter what your brother does, he's littler than you are. So, give him a chance to shoot.

      [Jeffrey nods, and heads back to the basketball net]

      Older Dottie: . Bobby?

      [Bobby walks over]

      Older Dottie: Kill him.

      Margaret: Come on, you'll miss your plane.

      [She gets into the car, and she and her daughter drive off, as Bobby and Jeffrey continue their game, with Bobby shooting and making a basket]

      Bobby: Yeah!

    • Kit Keller: Um... Dottie. Listen, I'm sorry I knocked you over.

      Dottie Hinson: No, you're not.

      Kit Keller: You were blocking the entire plate! How'd you expect me to - ?

      Dottie Hinson: Look, that's how the game is played. You won the game. You wanted it more than me.

      Kit Keller: I think I jammed my shoulder if it makes you feel any better?

      Dottie Hinson: A little. Look, I'm going back to the hotel, then Bob and I are driving back to Oregon. You're welcome to come with us.

      Kit Keller: No, you two should be alone. I'd just be in the way.

      Dottie Hinson: When do you think you'll be coming home?

      Kit Keller: Well, some of the girls have been talking about... staying around here and, you know, and getting jobs. I really like it here.

      Dottie Hinson: Christmas?

      Kit Keller: Um... I d... I don't know. But you're coming back next year, right?

      Dottie Hinson: No. Uh, I want to have kids. We want to have kids.

      Kit Keller: D... Dottie, you got your whole life to have kids. You couldn't give this up, you'd miss this too much.

      Dottie Hinson: [laughing] Miss it? You mean miss putting on all this gear? Catching a double header in a 100 degree heat? Pushing the bus through mud? Getting slammed into every other day by a... base runner? You think I'm gonna miss that?

      Kit Keller: Yeah.

      Dottie Hinson: I'll tell you what I'll miss. Well, I'll miss the girls. I'll miss you, Kit.

      Kit Keller: Well, thank you for getting me into the league, Dottie.

      Dottie Hinson: You got yourself into the league. I got you on the train.

      [They laugh]

      Dottie Hinson: Play great.

      Kit Keller: Like you.

      Dottie Hinson: Stay in touch, you hear? Come home every once in a while.

      [Kit performs a Military "Yes, Sir" motion]

      Dottie Hinson: If you don't, I'm gonna come back here and hit line drives at your head, okay?

      [laughs]

      Dottie Hinson: Go on.

      Kit Keller: [Hugging Dottie once more] I love you. And you are gonna miss this. I don't care what you say.

      Dottie Hinson: Yeah.
