"Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life"

This quote by Kevin Costner is referring to the 1989 movie Field of Dreams, which he starred in. The film is about a man who builds a baseball field in his cornfield after hearing a mystical voice telling him to do so. The motion picture is a timeless and has actually become a beloved part of our culture. It is often compared to the 1946 motion picture It's A Wonderful Life, which is also a timeless and precious movie. Both movies have comparable styles of hope, faith, and redemption. They both feature characters who are fighting with life and need a miracle. By comparing Field of Dreams to It's A Wonderful Life, Costner is suggesting that Field of Dreams is simply as effective and significant as It's A Wonderful Life, and is a traditional for our generation.
