CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Roy (Robert Redford) introduces himself as the Knights new right fielder to Coach Pop Fisher (Wilford Brimley) and Red (Richard Farnsworth) in the dugout.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The film version of The Natural pulls off the neat trick of conveying the spirit of the Bernard Malamud novel upon which it is based, even while changing both the outcome and the meaning of Malamud's closing chapters. In his first film appearance in four years, Robert Redford plays Roy Hobbs, a farm boy with a hankering to be a great baseball player. With his faithful homemade bat "Wonderboy" in hand, Roy heads to the big city. En route, he arouses the fascination of the mysterious Harriet Bird (Barbara Hershey). Luring the boy to a hotel room, Harriet asks Roy what he wants out of life. Roy brashly responds he wants to be "the best there is," whereupon Harriet whips out a gun and shoots Roy down. Sixteen years later, a humbler Roy Hobbs emerges from the bush leagues to become a 35-year-old "rookie" on the 1939 lineup of the New York Knights. He soon becomes the team's star player, and in so doing once more attracts enigmatic woman Memo Paris (Kim Basinger), the glamorous niece of the Knights' manager Pop Fisher (Wilford Brimley) and the mistress of Rothstein-like gambler Gus Sands (a curiously unbilled Darren McGavin). Roy's fascination with Memo compromises his ability to play, but this time he finds salvation in the form the angelic Iris Gaines (Glenn Close), his childhood sweetheart. From this point forward, the script for The Natural bears very little resemblance to the Malamud original. Without giving anything away, it can be said that Roy Hobbs is given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compensate for the mistakes of his youth, despite the demonic intrusion of inexplicably spiteful sports writer Max Mercy (Robert Duvall). The Natural elevates the art of slow-motion photography to new heights; while this technique would become precious and boring in later baseball films, it works beautifully here, as does the decision by director Barry Levinson and cinematographer Caleb Deschanel to convey the symbolism inherent in the story in purely visual rather than blatantly verbal terms. (If the characters told you that the story was a retelling of the Camelot legend in baseball terms, would you have watched?) Another plus is the pastoral theme music by Randy Newman, which has been well utilized on sports broadcasts and "human interest" TV documentaries ever since. The baseball scenes in The Natural were staged at War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo, New York.

Wilford Brimley is one of the most underrated character actors of our time.
R.I.P.
Wilford Brimley is so very deep in his character it's almost as though he's not acting. In general, I've never seen a finer performance. He's just absorbed by the incongruity of the situation.
Hated him in the movie "The Firm." Great actor.
He's a by God General...and he came all the way to NYC from Washington D.C. just to do this scene!!!
You have to love Wilford Brimley. It's required by law.
Di a bit is.
Brimley is absolutely brilliant.
Farnsworth and Brimley together. Wonderful!
Their chemistry worked. It wasn't for many minutes on the screen, but it was so important for the movie. My favorite moment with the two of them was the impromptu name-that-tune game with one whistling and the other humming on the bench during batting practice.
Redford acts this scene out superbly.
RIP, Wilford Brimley. May your work live on forever.
Richard Farnsworth is another of those actors who - once seen - is never forgotten. RIP RF.
Brimley had more integrity on his little finger...
@@rconger384 lol not exactly!!! Actually NOT AT ALL!! Farnesworth was a mans man!!!
My heart is broken when I heard Wilford Brimley died. He was such a great actor.
Wilford was a dear friend I’m very proud to say. He was an American treasure and I miss seeing his smiling face. But I can always put on one of his films and remember the good times we had fishing the Green River.
That sounds like Heaven itself.
I wish I had that experience with him. You two must have been very close!
Still one of the all time great baseball films. A simpler time I wish I can go back to.
So why did that woman shoot Hobbs? Inquiring minds want to know.
Yeah, no black guys, right?
Pro tip: It's not a baseball film. It's a film about redemption.
That was a cool movie. Farnsworth was a legend.
What was so impressive about Hobb's character throughout this film was his candor. He answered questions with a basic, curt honesty. The only time he would hedge was when Max Mercy would try to corner him on his past.
I mean... he's not really honest here; he's super guarded and purposely hiding information, which causes a bunch of drama & tension, and this goes throughout the movie. If he just said he had been previously signed to play pro but got injured/hurt and it took years to recover; that might have been enough (even if not the whole truth).
My favorite Wilford Brimley clip. I will miss this guy.
Another great one is his scene in the movie Absence of Malice with Paul Newman and Sally Field.
@@jamesmurray3128 yup!! Good call
He was a great actor
Brimley had more integrity on his little finger...
He had the beatas!!!
Best Line "guys your age don't start playing ball, they retire..." Seems appropriate for anyone that doesn't chose to retire but seeks a new venture in their life and not deterred by their numeric age.
Except for Nolan Ryan.
Hey Red he used to play in highschool 😂😂😂thats nice😂😂😂
The natural
There’s no doubt that this movie is all about the life of Roy Hobbs, but it really depicts the love of the game through Pop. This manager had everything to lose and an angel appears and changes the world.
I agree. Even though the story is fiction, the men from this era that played and then managed teams for the game they love gave their life and soul to it. And were basically paid scraps for it.
In the book, Hobbs took the money!!!
@@johnryndfleisz6482 For the first time I like the movie better than the book! Great movie
RIP Wilford Brimley.
Robert Redford is a great actor, director, and even better person. God bless him.
Just a treasure. I am 74, and I cry every time I see this. Just the best acting and a magnificent story line.
I get goose bumps every time I see this.
Michael B I understand the emotions too. I think Terence Mann explains why we feel the way we do in Field Of Dreams.
This is one of my favorite movies, and I'm not a big Redford fan. But there's just something about this movie that I absolutely love.
" I intend to hit away... "
DITTO on all of your points
It's baseball, the greatest sport ever made!
“I used to play in high school” God how often have I heard that phrase!!!!
What the hell is wrong with that? Alot of us played sports in school and more than one sport. So what the hell is wrong with that?
danh nguyễn because there’s a big jump in between playing in high school then in college an even bigger jump going to the pros...typically your loudmouth at the party screaming about how someone playing a sport for a living sucks at their job goes to the old line “ I used to play in high school”
@@codylebleu951 There are millions of us who knew that we didn't have what it takes to make it up to the pros, College maybe yes maybe no. Highschool yes, we could and did that. It was our moment in the sun, where we got our war stories and some of the proudest days of our lives. And you compare that to some blow hard like yourself who don't know squat about nothing. Sometimes the best thing to do in any given situation is to keep your opinion to yourself. Understand what I'm saying. Probably not but I had to ask.
Wilford Brimley is masterful in this scene and almost steals the movie. I remember seeing The Natural in the theater when it was released and this scene really packed a punch. The irascibility, the irritation, the crankiness of Pop Fisher all expertly conveyed by a great actor.
Redford had such a manner on screen, always, in every movie
This is one of the best movies of all times.
Hard to believe Wilford Brimley and RIchard Farnsworth are no longer with us. RIP
One of the best cinematic experiences of the ages worth modeling one's life after.. 💖it
CZcams recommendations: Not the hero we need. The hero we deserve
One of the greatest movies ever made.
This scene should have began 8 seconds sooner as Roy was entering the tunnel heading toward the field. His arrival was literally the light at the end of the tunnel for old Pop. Little did he know.
Reds and Pops , were a good combo.
Watched it last year, on the new big screen. Broke it in with The Natural. :-) It was a good choice.
- "I got a contract".
- "I want to see it !"
Every roll Wilford Brimley plays he is TOTALLY credible.It's like he's not even acting. Hollywood has fewer and fewer of these folks anymore. Big egos and small talent. RIP sir.
Scottie Carson....the unsung hero of the Natural!
Red, is the unsung hero of the movie.
who is Scotty?
He was trying to sabotage them. He was on the phone with the Judge, saying he was a nobody. He didn't really think he'd inspire them to win, or was actually good.
@@felixrojas2575 Yep, people forget why Pop didn't want to play him.
He knew The Judge was trying to lose (given the deal they had), he knew he couldn't trust Carson. And let's be real, a 36 year old rookie? That makes pop think the obvious, this was done to make them even worse.
So he has zero interest playing him, ever. Or even seeing if he has anything at all.
But Red doesn't pick a side, and reminds Pop they are already terrible, and have nothing to lose seeing what he's got. Red sells the idea to Pop well. First he's reluctant, but eventually caves realizing he's right. There's nothing really to lose.
Those Knights uniforms are classic.
I have this movie in my collection and it is one of my favorite baseball movie of all time never get tired if watching it
His mother wanted him to be a farmer. He was an actor instead...”the best dam actor I ever saw.” RIP.
Chris Cooper was a Missouri cattleman's son. ............ I was too.
Chris left the farm to go to Hollywood. Talk about self-confidence.
And as for me, I turned out to be outstanding in my field.
Literally ........ Out .......... Standing ........ in my field.
Awesome acting by the coach
I just love this movie when ever I feel low I just see this movie
In my view, this is the best sports movie ever made. The cast is quite good. The photography and direction are also. Its surprisingly close to the novel except they changed the ending of the book.
This is the Greatest Movie ever made. If you don't have tears in your eyes when Roy hits that last dinger, you ain't human.
It's a very good movie BUT greatest ever? I wouldn't say for sure that it's the best baseball movie. Bull Durham and A League of Their Own were right up there. Could say the same for Bad News Bears. But the movies I would definitely rank higher than tis would be, in no particular order, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Mister Roberts, American Graffiti, and Blazing Saddles. These are films I would, and have seen more than once. I saw The Natural once. May or may not see it again. Almost forgot The Maltese Falcon. Complex plot so I had to see it more than once but it was worth it.
He's a great actor.
What's crazy is Wilford Brimley is only 2 years older than Robert Redford
😳
Yeah, but Brimley's character isn't a player. He's a manager and quite a good one at that. He has no idea what to make of Hobbs. For all he knows Roy Hobbs might be a piece of garbage on the field. But he did acknowledge that Carson saw something in him. If a scout says this guy is good, then you want to listen to him.
.
some guys just start out as old men hah
@@kellyrayburn4093 whoooosh!
My next door neighbor is almost exactly like Wilford Brimley. Looks like him a little, has a deep voice, and with the cross-grain demeanor. This is an excellent movie. The good guy ends up winning, but it doesn't come easy. The message is still positive
The manager was later hired as a spokesman for diabeetus! 🤣🤣
And Quaker Oats
We don't need no middle-aged rookies.
Well we sure need somebody!
I'll miss Wilford..looking back at his work though, hes played a 70-80 year old since 1980?!? He never seemed to get younger or older and was only a couple of years older than I am now in Cocoon...where he was like an 80 year old grandfather? Was a scary , scary dude in The Firm too.. Anyway, will be missed
Brimley was a good actor in this film.
Great, underappreciated classic movie.
"Suit up" - I will miss Wilford Brimley, like Tom Bosley and others before him, he was perfect in a fatherly role.
Brimley had more integrity in his little finger...
Well, we sure need somebody 😂
Great scene; lot of those in this film.
Richard Farnsworth... one of several actors who got their start as stuntmen. Always liked his performances in the bit roles he acted in... Wilford Brimley as well, a fine actor. Sad how Farnsworth's life ended... terminal bone cancer, took himself out... he was 80.
He filmed the "The Straight Story" before he ended everything, In pain for the shoot , as his cancer had spread to his legs, earned him an Oscar Nomination
Based on the true story of Alvin Straight - its one of my all-time favourite films
"You're a good man, Danny Riordan.
And that's why I married you,
despite what my mother said."
Tom: I've got to tell you, Alvin, that you've always struck me as a smart man...
Alvin: Well, that's appreciated...
Tom: ...until now.
It's a crying shame Farnsworth's best movie "The Grey Fox" has only been available as bootleg , inferior DVD's . An outstanding leading role for him . Chieftains music rights ?
@@biketech60 It’s available now! Remastered and beautiful. Order the DVD- it’s much better than the streaming version.
One of the best sports movie.
this is such a great movie robert redford is awesome
I didn’t know Andy Reid was in baseball before football
The best baseball movie ever made.
Yes it's
"Field Of Dreams" is still my favorite, but this one is good, too.
@@pcbacklash_3261 Major League is the best baseball movie of all time.
“My life didn’t turn out the way I expected” Huh??? I’m only playing in the Big League’s, I’m famous and I’m banging Kim Basinger. Poor guy. lol! This movie is just OK. Definitely not the best baseball movie.
@@kevinfinnerty8414 Well, even though you're commenting on how good the movie was/wasn't, you apparently haven't even watched it. When he says that, it means his life after he left the farm. It means he didn't become a pro player when he was young due to the crazy woman shooting him. It has NOTHING to do with what he's doing in his later years as a player.
Love this movie
RIP Wilford Brimley
The start of a Beautiful Friendship.
Welcome to the majors, kid.
This should be the intro clip for Major League Baseball The Show... Because it sums it up.
Should be road to the show
Rest in peace wilford...who passed away tday
Wilfered Brimley is Awesome! Farnsworth is awesome! Great scene!
One of my favorite movies 👍🤗
this is ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENE IN THE MOVIE ✨✨✨
🙏
RIP WILFORD!
Best coach of all time
manager
Rest in peace Pops...
The first pitch in final scene is a call strike. Then a foul ball and then, a swing and miss. Hobbs actually STRIKES OUT! Leave it to Hollywood to overlook this.
"Excuse me!??"
"Well..we sure need somebody!!"
One of my all time fav scenes.
Even though Wilford Brimley passed, he could still be a granddaddy to me ❤️.
The manager was later hired as head of security for a law firm.
Lol Chasing Tom Cruise
Right after him and his senior citizen friends in Florida go on an outer space trip with a bunch of aliens.
Lost his job due to diabeetus
@@loki110872 though his family should be secure, with that Colonial Penn life insurance policy.
Absolutely GREAT movie!
I love when people start a sentence with "hey fella" I'm gonna start using that hahah
🤣 Never seen this Movie but this scene is awesome 🤣
Rest in peace Wilfred
Red he used played in high school. That's nice. 😎
Priceless!
See, this is what happens when I watch just a scene! I now have to watch whole movie! It’s a great movie! ☮️🖖🏽
Great actor
Remember Wilford and Robert in " Electric Cowboy"? Willy Nelson also... classic.
Love this movie!
If you can hit home runs?....You could be a Martian. And a coach will find you a uniform that fits.
I always wondered if that scout was trying to foil the Judges plan to take the team. He obviously would have seen how Roy could hit when scouting him.
Wilford Brimley is 49 and Robert Redford is 47 here.
My favorite baseball movie
RIP POP!
This movie is not about baseball, it’s about good vs evil and the perseverance of good against relentless evil IMHO.
It's also about baseball. Even the best have slumps as well as hitting streaks.
age is just a number, our intentions, prayerfulness and heart define the courage and purpose of a person more than hours and seconds on a watch
I hear that all of the time and sometimes it makes me wonder if people are simply choosing to disregard reality or something. I agree with you about intentions, prayerfulness, and heart but age does matter. Most players at Roy Hobbs's age would either be well past their prime, nearing retirement, or retired. Unfortunately, age eventually catches up with all of us and our bodies will let us know it. What we can do as human beings is take care of our bodies and age gracefully so that we will at least have a better chance of prolonging our lives.
@Livingston, it is not all about "prolonging" our lives but how healthy we live regardless of how long we live.
Livingston ? Should you not be burned out at 35 i.e. had hard tough long games from age 7 or age 12 upwards to 35 then should you have had a easy enough life. The older guy or in my case "horse" just starts a new life ( chapter ). It's all about miles on the legs. Too many miles when your young and your done at 35.
awesomearchangel Amen💞☝️
Prayer does absolutely nothing.
Never say never. If the NY Knights don't want you then you can always come to the Cubs. Always.
holy cow what a cast
It is not shown here but before emerging from the tunnel ( shown ) Roy Hobbs is shown walking down the tunnel toward the light. Symbolism. Roy is walking out of the darkness toward a new life in which eventually all works out and all is right with his life after wandering in the darkness for so long.
James Dunn but not in the booookkk 😂 (I prefer the movie, life is depressing enough)
What?!?! Symbolism??? In a movie???
@@RC.41 I read the novel long ago and it differs in many small ways from the film if I recall.
@@bradleybrown8399 It is done in movies, good ones anyway.
@@jamesdunn9714 um. Duh.
Only Richard Farnsworth can steal a scene from Redford and Brimley without even saying a word
Amazing how Wilford Brimley is only less than 2 years older than Robert Redford. He was about 49 when this movie was made and Redford was around 47. Loved this movie since I was a kid and both actors are great.
It is interesting how people's features can influence how we perceive them. Wilford Brimley plays that type of character perfectly (gruff,blunt,to the point plain speaking etc..) probably that character would be harder to pull off for an actor like say Jeff Goldblum ( off the top of my head example). Goldblum could play the role and play it skillfully because he is a good actor but it wouldn't be as convincing because we wouldn't expect that type of demeanor or personality from a tall, slender, more cerebral, elegant looking man. You might cast Jeff Goldblum as a senatorial or scholarly type of character, but Brimley who is shorter,stocky more rugged looking would more typically channel the rancher,or the blue collar worker, or the football coach better.
It is one aspect of humanity in how our identities are formed and can often be influenced based on feedback loops of how others and ourselves are perceived based on the impression our features may convey affected either from cultural stereotypes or possibly from more hard wired evolutionary psychological reactions.
It would be a fun experiment to film a whole movie with actors chosen to fit the stereotypically expected roles and then re-film it all over again with different actors who people may not seem to fit the part based on their features and proportions.
Say for instance if they refilmed the Natural back in 1983 when they were filming it , and they switched Brimley with Redfords so that Redford played "Pops" and Brimley played "Roy Hobbs". Then say they switched Glen Close's character (wholesome,balanced, patient, motherly,centered loving wife stereotype) with Kim Basinger's character (alluring,shadowy,dangerous,unstable,seductress). Maybe then switch DuVall's ( sports writer Max Mercy ) with Richard Farnsworth character (assistant coach "Red Blow"). I think some of those actors could be more interchangeable than others but if you watch the movie you can see how the actor's basic features helps to channel the character in a more conceivable way.
If it was originally filmed with the characters switched as you suggest you'd be wondering how it would be if re-filmed with say Redford as Roy Hobbs instead of being cast as Pop Fisher.
Seriously, Wilford Brimley was 49 in this scene? He looks 69 at least.
What?!?! Typecasting??? In a MOVIE???
Wtf?
I had to check Wilford Brimley's actual birthdate to confirm that he was really 49 in this. He looks at least 20 years older to me...so hard to believe but true. Some people just look older than others at a similar age.
Richard Farnsworth, he was in Anne Of Green Gables, Cacoon, yes? As well as this. I love his voice. Even here, not acting shy as in 'Anne ' he's got appeal, he's as believable as Pops.
Nothin' like a farm ❤
I love the scene were they're so bored,cause the game is going so smooth. They have whiestling conest,about who can guess the tune
Great cast.
Scotty Carson is for sure the name of a baseball scout
Wilfred was probably 35 years old here! 😂🤣 he looked like a young middle aged man in his Prom Pictures!
My favorite baseball movie along with The Sandlot
Aw, come on Hinkle!!
lol
Yeah, I bet Hinkle was a real dinkle.
