Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Background Information

I added a lot of the background information on this film because I live in the area where the film was made, and have lived here most of my life. So many of the locations shown are familiar to me. I've also been to the actual field a couple times, and was able to walk around the field. I've driven over many of the local highways shown in the film.

[edit] Images

I was out in the Dyersville area today, so I stopped and took a number of pictures of the baseball field. I added them to the article, I hope you enjoy them.

[edit] Article about the book

Someone might want to right an article on the book Shoeless Joe, since one doesn't exist. -Rmpfu89 00:23, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Voice at end of file

at the end of the film, "the voice" is credited as "himself." who voiced this role?

28 November 2005

I think they're being funny, as they did with the "Clean Shaven Umpire" joke. You should check the DVD, but I think it was Costner himself who whispered, "If you build it, etc."

[edit] First paragraph

I was just noticing the statement in the first paragraph, "The film is a fantasy that is meant to remind viewers of a more innocent and pleasant time." I don't think that's giving the story enough credit. Isn't it really about baseball as the American mythos?

[edit] Final shot

Can anyone detail how the final shot of the movie was filmed? I remember something about a helicopter and the twinkling effect of the cars' headlights was the high beams being turned on and off, and something about having only one or two takes to get it right.

You're right. That's discussed on the DVD extras. Since you know about it, you could add it. Wahkeenah 14:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis

I updated the synopsis, correcting errors of fact (such as the fact that Archibald "Moonlight" Graham played his one major league game in the 1920s, not the 1940s), and adding some detailed information. Having just watched the movie yesterday, these details are fresh in my mind.-)Enki Nabu 00:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
