      This is the movie that Costner is good at

      Several sports-related movies starring Kevin Costner, such as tincup tin cup, Bull Durham, etc., have more or less restored his position in Hollywood in a difficult situation. They are all related to Costner’s beloved baseball. The box office and reviews of the movie are good. It's comforting.
      It is rumored that Kevin had a full frontal nude performance in a episode of the bathroom in the film. Later, when it was released in Los Angeles, the audience complained and ridiculed that the...

      For Love of the Game

      There is a reason why I just love baseball movies and baseball in general, because it is never just about the game, there is always dedication and respect involved when a professional does the same thing for thousands of times throughout their life. For Love of the Game is not a perfect movie, in fact it's not even close. The movie is sappy and corny and cheesy, but at the same time it is beautiful and truly a movie for people who simply love the game of baseball. Life, like baseball, requires...

      "Baseball Love": "Put away your baseball!"

      Hollywood will never lack "fast-consumer" genre movies, even if it is an inspirational theme or sports story with no suspense. As one of them, "Baseball Love" can basically reflect the overall pattern of Hollywood movies. But in detail, there are still some imperfections, which will be explained in detail below.

      The film tells the story of Billy Chip, played by Kevin Costner, who won a key game as an older baseball player with a hand injury and recovered his girlfriend. The beginning...

      Love is complicated, baseball is simple

      American movies, similar to Chinese college entrance examination essays, often have to have a sentence that clearly tells you the meaning of the movie, and then the whole movie is described around this central point.

      The core of Costner's movie is what Billy and Jane said during a walk on their second date. Billy said that his father loved two things in his life, mother and baseball.

      Billy Chap entered the professional...

      Unintentionally encounter classics

      I accidentally saw this movie played in six sets of movies. I thought it was just a sports movie, but I was attracted by it unknowingly. Although I had to work the next day, I insisted on seeing the end, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning.
          After reading it, I did not hesitate to include it in my private collection.
          I think this is a very detailed and practical movie. It can be classified as a life movie, an emotional movie or even an inspirational movie,...

      Another baseball film by Costner, always moving forward, the billy chapel that never gives up even when it's the end of the road. The structure is a lot like a slumdog...

      I only came down to watch it because of Carmine's virgin cameo in it. Baseball and life are intertwined in the rise and fall of love, and the promotion of typical American personal heroism, especially when Costner is good at this kind of performance is nothing special. It's just that the overlapping of life's ups and downs and the persistence and helplessness of loving oneself and loved ones are very...

    Movie plot

    This is the story of Billy Zhuobiao, a legend in American baseball history. This professional pitcher, at the end of his baseball career, found that many of his life’s glories have disappeared: it is not only the team he has been with for 20 years that exchanged him with other team members, it is the most exciting for him. What is unacceptable is that his girlfriend, Jan O Billie Wang , who has been with him for many years , wants to...

    Background creation

    "It was the script of the film that attracted me," said director Sam Remy. "This is a very touching love story. I am a baseball fan, and this is the first script that makes me intoxicated in baseball. Dana Si Dana Stevens brought us to the world of real baseball players." In the eyes of producer Amy Robinson, the combination of love and baseball in the story is perfect.
    With the exception of several off-season scenes shot in Aspen,...

    Movie quotes

    • Jane Aubrey: I need a regular guy. Not the guy in the Old Spice commercials.

      Billy Chapel: It was Right Guard.

      Jane Aubrey: What?

      Billy Chapel: It was Right Guard, not Old Spice.

      Jane Aubrey: I was being metaphorical.

    • Vin Scully: And you know Steve you get the feeling that Billy Chapel isn't pitching against left handers, he isn't pitching against pinch hitters, he isn't pitching against the Yankees. He's pitching against time. He's pitching against the future, against age, and even when you think about his career, against ending. And tonight I think he might be able to use that aching old arm one more time to push the sun back up in the sky and give us one more day of summer.

    • Jane Aubrey: Do you lose very much?

      Billy Chapel: I lose. I've lost 134 times.

      Jane Aubrey: You count them?

      Billy Chapel: We count everything.
