lineage (1)

  1. lineage (lineage): The Natural → Field of Dreams. The Natural's ending, a catch with your son, echoes the wheat-field catch in Field of Dreams.
    “And the concept of when I have a son someday will have a catch and then we'll be playing in the backyard.”

  2. theme (theme): The Natural → Field of Dreams. The movie's father-and-son angle is the easy baseball move that Field of Dreams is also about.

what-if (1)

  1. what-if (what-if): The Natural → Field of Dreams. A 2015 remake would stay faithful to the dark book, since we now expect the worst of baseball heroes.
