Review of The Natural (1984) by Ashley T — 10 Jun 2008
The very best baseball movie ever. Robert Redford is the only one who could have pulled off the dynamic lead role, and he's surrounded by a fabulous supporting cast. The lenswork is too gorgeous for words.
And what can be said about the score? The only word that comes to mind is iconic. It's criminal that this movie didn't win any of the four Oscars it was nominated for, but only proves that the Academy has been wrong for decades.
This classic, as Roy Hobbs says in that famous final scene, is a definite winner.
