For Love of the Game
With possibly his last ball game before him, Billy Chapel (Kevin Costner) looks intently from his pitcher's mound at the game that not only changed his life, but was his life.
Now at age 40 with a 19-year career under his belt, he contemplates the road before him, while not forgetting the one behind. A life of ups and downs, it now rests at one of its low of lows. His long-time love (Kelly Preston) now leaving his side, he is left with little more than the game, a game where control over age and injury also flee from his grasp.
So with one last effort, he delves deep inside himself for some of that old magic, driven by emotion and playing more than just another team, but against all the ails of days gone by. Playing like never before, he plays for more than just himself or the team, he plays "For Love of the Game."
A wonderfully touching movie, filled with fabulous acting, directing, camera work and more, it is a true home run of baseball movies that you will not want to miss. Based on the novel by Michael Shaara, it unfolds as a great piece of writing and film-making, taking place during a baseball game, it is interwoven with flashbacks in a brilliant concept that is brought seamlessly to film.
