Kevin Costner recently reacted to comedian John Mulaney’s humorous summary of the iconic movie 'Field of Dreams' at the Oscars. 'Field of Dreams,' released in 1989, follows the story of Ray Kinsella, played by Costner, who transforms his Iowa cornfield into a baseball field after hearing a mysterious voice. The film also stars James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta, Gaby Hoffmann, Amy Madigan, and Timothy Busfield.
Costner took to Twitter to respond to Mulaney’s summary, reposting the clip from the Oscars and commenting, 'not a bad summary' with a laughing crying emoji. Mulaney, presenting the Oscar for Achievement in Sound, humorously referenced 'Field of Dreams' and its famous line 'if you build it, he will come' in his speech.
Despite the comedic take on the film, 'Field of Dreams' was nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Score, and Best Adapted Screenplay at the time of its release. It lost in these categories to 'Driving Miss Daisy' and 'The Little Mermaid,' respectively. The movie remains one of Costner’s most iconic roles, alongside films like 'Dances with Wolves' and 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.'
Based on a novel by W. P. Kinsella, 'Field of Dreams' stars Costner as Ray Kinsella, a farmer who builds a baseball diamond in his cornfield to honor his late father. The star-studded cast also includes Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta, and Burt Lancaster.
