19번째 남자

최재혁이 가장 좋아하는 야구 영화. 배역 자체가 너무나 맘에 들 뿐만 아니라,
진정으로 로맨스를 아는 대사들이 가득하다.

케빈 코스트너가 팀 로빈스가 메이저에 입성하게 될 것을 알고,
인터뷰하는 방법을 가르쳐 주는 장면은 너무나 인상깊다.

이 영화는 믿기지 않을 정도로 많은 야구의 얘기를 하고 있음에도 불구하고,
기본적으로는 로맨틱 코메디다.

이 영화에서 유명한 오프닝 나레이션은 케빈 코스트너의 느슨한듯 강렬하게 기대고픈 목소리로 전달된다.

I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring... which makes it like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career. Making love is like hitting a baseball: you just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250... not unless he had a lot of RBIs and was a great glove man up the middle. You see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds. Sometimes when I've got a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman to him, and the guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen. 'Course, a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay. I make them feel confident, and they make me feel safe, and pretty. 'Course, what I give them lasts a lifetime; what they give me lasts 142 games. Sometimes it seems like a bad trade. But bad trades are part of baseball - now who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for God's sake? It's a long season and you gotta trust. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.

팀 로빈스와 수잔 서랜든은 이 영화를 통해 사랑을 키웠으며, 아직까지 서로를 존중하는 헐리웃 커플로 남아있다.
