One of the best movies of the year. It portraits a players dreams to be one of the best in his sport - baseball, and depicts the politics and dishonesty that exists in sports management - just to make a buck. In the end Roy Hobbs wins due to his belief in playing the game in its purity. Even though he was previously framed some years before. It is a reflection of the White Sox scandal, the Hero's love for the game, and his reflections on his past, and his will to beat the odds.
