Geschichte
Veteran catcher Crash Davis joins the minor league Durham Bulls to mentor young pitcher 'Nuke' Laloosh, who has a wild fastball but lacks control. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start due to Nuke's arrogance and Crash's initially dismissive attitude towards Nuke's pitching style. Baseball groupie Annie Savoy takes an interest in both men, complicating their dynamic further as she begins relationships with each of them. Throughout the season, Crash helps Nuke refine his pitching technique while also navigating his jealousy over Annie's affection for Nuke. Meanwhile, Annie, who believes baseball is a spiritual game, guides Nuke through understanding his own potential and helps him grow into a more mature player.
Zusammenfassung
Bull Durham is a 1988 comedy-drama film directed by Ron Shelton, set in the minor league baseball world of the Durham Bulls. The movie explores themes of aging, mentorship, jealousy, and personal growth within a love triangle between veteran catcher Crash Davis (Kevin Costner), young pitcher 'Nuke' Laloosh (Tim Robbins), and baseball groupie Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon). While there's ample humor derived from the characters' eccentricities and the absurdities of minor league life, Bull Durham also offers insights into the complexities of human relationships and the universal struggle for self-awareness and maturity. The film is notable for its unique perspective on baseball as a metaphor for life, emphasizing spirituality, passion, and individual growth over statistical achievements.
