John Mulaney explaining the plot of Field of Dreams was hilarious
John Mulaney did what he does best on stage and made people laugh, even though he was invited by Zone of Interest’s Tarn Willers and Johnny Byrne to present the Academy Award for Best Sound. And to do so, he took the odd step of explaining the nonsensical plot of his 1989 film Field of Dreams.
Mulaney began by saying, “For years, movies didn’t have sound, but then they figured it out,” as a perfect intro to the category he’s introducing. He also said that people who say the silent era was the golden age of cinema are “crazy and insane.” And he justified his position by saying: “Without sound, you wouldn’t be able to hear classic lines like ‘I need a bigger boat,’ ‘I’ll take what she’s got,’ and ‘He was fine.'” This is the Amazon from when my mother was researching spiders just before she passed away. ” “
Immediately afterwards he said: “What about that moment in Field of Dreams?” I asked, “If you build it, he will come”,” he continued, explaining the plot of the film in less than a minute. “He mowed down the corn and there was a field and he was like, ‘Let’s watch ghosts play baseball.’ And the bank said, ‘Do you want to pay the mortgage?’ And he said, “Oh, I’m going to watch ghosts play baseball.” And he found James Earl Jones, who wrote “Boat Rocker,” which he thought was real until his late 20s,” Mulaney continued with his hilarious description of the film.
“Timothy Busfield pushed young Gaby Hoffmann off the bleachers and she fell unconscious. Bush Lancaster was then Moonlight Graham, walked up to her, slapped her on the back a few times and said, ‘Hot. It was like, “Dog got stuck in my throat.” And I think there are rules in ghost baseball, so he can’t go back into the game,” he continued, enthusiastically explaining bizarre details about the plot, causing the entire audience to burst into laughter.
