Roy Hobbs, è un ragazzo dallo straordinario talento naturale per il baseball. Dopo la morte del padre, che l´aveva spinto a dedicarsi al baseball, parte per Chicago ma, poco prima del primo provino della sua vita con i Chicago Cubs conosce Harriet che, dopo averlo invitato nella sua stanza di albergo, prima gli spara, ferendolo gravemente, e poi si suicida, distruggendogli in un solo attimo tutti i sogni di gloria. La storia riparte 16 anni dopo, quando un Roy Hobbs ormai trentacinquenne si trova a dover lottare per farsi largo in una squadra di secondo ordine, i N.Y. Knights. Qui si innamora della nipote dell’allenatore, Memo Paris. Dopo tanta panchina, grazie al suo talento fuori dal comune ed alla sua mazza (soprannominata “Wonderboy”, costruita dal legno di un tronco d’albero colpito da un fulmine), porterà i Knights alla finale di Lega ed alla vittoria nonostante il giornalista Mercy, che indaga sul suo passato, la corruzione sempre in agguato ed i malanni fisici.

    An enjoyable watch. Good character development. A little fantastical, but I think that was intentional. A solid four stars.

    The Natural (1984) transforms baseball into pure cinematic poetry, capturing the sport’s beauty with stunning visuals and a haunting score. The film’s slow pacing and use of slow motion elevate the game into something majestic, highlighting moments of triumph and struggle in ways rarely seen on screen. Its story blends realism with fantasy, weaving themes of good versus evil into a surreal narrative that feels timeless. Robert Redford’s portrayal of Roy Hobbs anchors the film with quiet intensity, though the decision to have him play both a 19-year-old and a 39-year-old is admittedly distracting. A younger actor might have made the early scenes more convincing. Still, the film’s atmosphere, emotional resonance, and mythic tone outweigh this odd choice. The Natural succeeds as both a sports drama and a fable, reminding audiences that baseball can be more than a game—it can be legend.

    A little too foggy and cryptic. Wish it would have laid more stuff out on the line instead of all the cloak and dagger.

    I was not too fond of the use of flashbacks in building the story. Like most sports stories, you know where it's going, but I still enjoyed the ride.

    The Natural is a timeless story of second chances and redemption, capturing the triumph of overcoming past mistakes in the pursuit of greatness. With a standout Randy Newman score that echoes the spirit of Aaron Copland Americana, the film's music perfectly complements its heroic narrative, making it one of the most iconic and soulful sports movies ever made.
