Field of Dreams Question
My brother randomly called me up today, in order to discuss Field of Dreams. Now I haven't seen the full film in like 10 years, so I wasn't able to refute any of his statements, but he was wondering if they held up.
Do I even need to spoilerize this? The movie is old...
As I said, I haven't seen the movie in a long time, so I wasn't able to form any really solid arguments. Anyone else have opinions on this?

All of the above are trying to impose a normal time sequence on events ..... I see it more as if time has folded in on itself to allow the events to happen as we see them.

Wazootyman - Sounds like your brother has been smokin' a few of Ray Kinsella's corn stalks. Terence Mann was alive and well throughout the picture. Unless ghosts can rent their own apartments, write their own software, drive a van and eat a hot dog and a beer at a Sox game.

If you go by the original novel, Mann was alive and well... except he wasn't in the novel at all.

From IMDB:
In the novel, the reclusive author whom Kinsella sought out was J.D. Salinger, whose novel "Catcher In The Rye" included a character named Richard Kinsella. The producers of the film adaptation were forced to create a fictional reclusive author (James Earl Jones' character, Terrence Mann), because of the threat of legal action by Salinger, who was reportedly incensed when the novel was published in 1982.
