Dana and Tom discuss The Natural (1984) for its 40th anniversary: directed by Barry Levinson, written by Roger Towne and Phil Dusenberry, music by Randy Newman, starring Robert Redford, Glenn Close, Kim Basinger, Robert Duvall, and Wilfred Brimley.
Plot Summary: "The Natural," directed by Barry Levinson and based on Bernard Malamud's novel, is a cinematic ode to the enduring spirit of baseball and the human capacity for redemption. Roy Hobbs, portrayed with a blend of innocence and determination by Robert Redford, emerges as a mythical figure in the world of baseball. After a fateful encounter derails his early dreams, Hobbs resurfaces years later wielding a bat that seems touched by fate itself. His journey with the New York Knights is a tale of triumph over adversity, and of second chances and the pursuit of greatness amidst personal demons and external pressures. Through stunning cinematography and a score that echoes the heartbeat of the game, "The Natural" transcends sports drama to become a timeless narrative of hope and the pursuit of dreams against all odds.
