Capra!

OK, so yesterday was Christmas at my house and my mom has a rule about only watching feel good movies during the Holidays. We have watched Elf a hundred times and White Christmas during the snow storm and Christmas Vacation, of course, as we opened our presents in the morning. But when night time rolled around i could not find anything to watch, until i stumbled upon Field of Dreams starring a young, handsome Kevin Costner. Just curious, i clicked the info button and the first word was "Capra-esque".
This got me thinking about how well this film fit Capra, and how i had never noticed it before. For those of you who haven't seen this film you must put it on your to-do list.
The movie is not logical and every little thing is not explained, but you don't even think about that because you fall in love with the characters and the miracles constantly in motion on screen. The plot revolves around a sport that during the time was an all American sport, Baseball. Capra was all for America, small towns, and miracles.
The story begins when Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) hears a voice in his corn field tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series.
It will make you laugh, cry, and clap with joy all in the same two minutes.

It is truly Capra-esque.
