Review of The Babe

The Babe (1992)
7/10
relevant period piece with relatively honest portrayal
19 June 2008
Some have said this film ruins Ruth, yet I strongly disagree. The storyline never gets specific enough to detail his multiple infractions. Instead, it is like the candy-version done in the 50s with far better script, sets, and actors. It's a great period piece with Goodman in charge, at the helm.

Goodman nailed it, and the script fully benefited Ruth's legacy. For anybody to claim this script belittled Ruth never read a decent book on same.

In comparison, the full truth could only harm a great man like Ruth.

Ruth was a complicated bastard of a man. Hollywood cannot portray him honestly, nor anybody else.

Why complain about Hollywood when you all seem inextricably intertwined with the pile of x it is?
