Batter up!
It's time to discuss The Natural. What did we think of it?
I'll say, briefly, that I thought it was terrific. It succeeded on so many levels, as pure baseball novel, as a look at the immediate postwar zeitgeist, and most importantly as an examination of chances lost, poor choices and redemption missed, and just generally as an account of the sad lives of damaged and unlikable people.
It was not, however, the feel-good story of the movie! What an opportunity missed to say something meaningful.
