Q: In addition to the FIRST list, are there any good baseball movie recommendations?
A: The so-called "style does not separate families", compared with the history of film, baseball has been integrated with film and television literary works when film art has just entered the public vision, and has dedicated countless classic content to us in the past century.
Looking at baseball-related film and television works, there is no shortage of masterpieces such as "Legend of No. 42" and "Penalty Into Gold", which are widely known to domestic fans, but this is far from all of baseball film and television works, and then we recommend three baseball-themed film and television masterpieces that you must not miss.
Baseball (TV documentary)
This TV documentary, directed by Ken Burns, is arguably the benchmark of all sports documentaries.
The grand narrative of this work, the completeness of historical materials, and the longevity of the historical span are second to none in all sports documentaries.
Released in 1994, the film divides the entire feature film into nine episodes based on nine innings in baseball, with the exception of the first episode, which covers the history of baseball in the 19th century and the ninth, which covers the latest developments in the baseball world from 1970 to 1992, and the middle seven episodes are narrated in a way that corresponds to an era in each episode.
The whole feature film is as vast and vast as Homer's epic, not only discussing baseball topics, but also integrating a series of historical events such as the American Civil War, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, racial segregation, etc., and deeply interpreting the influence of baseball and historical trends.
In 2010, the tenth inning of the documentary's sequel was also released. After watching this feature film, you will know that the phrase "the history of baseball is equal to the epitome of modern American history" is definitely not just talk.
Yankee's pride
Released in 1942, the film starred Gary Cooper and starred Babe Ruth in his own black-and-white film, which is also an immortal masterpiece.
In the early days of baseball, most of the players were from the American countryside, and it was not uncommon for them to behave rudely and indulge in alcohol.
A sports icon who studied at Columbia University with excellent ball skills and high character became the best promoter of baseball at that time, and he was the protagonist of the film, "Yankee Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig .
In this film, through the plot of Jarig's interaction with the children, it recreates how a quality idol inspired an entire era.
At the end of the film, Cooper also recreates Jarig's famous "I am the luckiest man on earth" speech, allowing us to once again feel the courage of this legendary player in the face of death and the love between the star and the fans.
Baseball love
There is a well-known saying in baseball circles: "If you love baseball, baseball will also use love to give you back." "This movie brings this kind of feeling to the big screen.
Baseball and family are not actually two separate individuals, for a person, the two should be one and promote each other. In this film, the protagonist Billy is a fictional legendary pitcher whose career has come to an end, and his girlfriend prepares to leave him for London.
However, in the final game of the season, he endured the pain and threw an extremely rare complete game with the help of his teammates, from which he and his teammates' lives were also sublimated.
His teammates saved the game while redeeming his past, and Billy realized the meaning of family and prepared to travel to London to redeem his beloved.
