SALLY FIELD - An American Treasure/Brilliant casting
Hopefully this Movie will put Sally Field back on the map. Combining her caliber of acting with genuine likability and staying power, it's like she really is part of the family - so who won't be able to feel their heartcords tugged on watching this film.
Sally has endured thru the years and finally deserves to get a decent role to shine again in. Hopefully it will be three for three - and America does really like Sally Field. It's been been a pleasure to see her grow as an actress from her breakthru as 'Sybil' to her early movie roles in "Heroes" opposite Henry Winkler, "Absence of Malice" opposite Paul Newman, to her genuine comedic talent in "Back Roads" opposite Tommy lee Jones, not to mention her magic chemisty opposite James Cann, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, James Garner. Her extraordinary underrated performance also as a dying mother in 'Forest Gump'. Her suprising role in Televisions "David Copperfield" - I was stunned in the opening few moments. Not to mention her brilliance on 'ER' a couple years back. But the everlasting image of Sally Field is the undertow in a scene from 'Norma Rae' when she asks her church pastor for use of the church for a union meeting - it blows you away, acting at its finest, its very best.
I hope this role brings her more substancial roles down the road, it would be a waste to have her continue in bit parts in teenage comedies. Sally is a bonafide, truely respected and loved American Icon. We do love Sally Field, and that is NO joke.
