Movie Reviews of The Legend of Bagger Vance
Movie Review: This Is Not A Film About Golf
Summary: 5 Stars
Steven Pressfield is one of America's greatest authors and perhaps when he is done - he will be one of the greatest authors of all time. This film, upon which Mr. Pressfield's novel "The Legend of Bagger Vance" was based tackles the questions we are all destined with which to struggle (whether you like golf, pool, basketball or embroidery): how will you choose when you know what the right thing to do is - but its consequences may make you despised, humiliated, and rejected by the world?; how will you navigate a "cilivized culture" that still believes that killing is the solution to contrary positions? A deeply spiritual film but please - if you have the time, buy Steven Pressfield's book. It will literally blow you away. Also, his new book due to be released in July 2006 is on the trail for another pioneering blaze of a tale. Movie Review: The Legeng of Bagger Vance

well rounded movie in all aspects,I thourghly enjoyed the movie.Movie Review: A Bit Cheesy, but still Good
Summary: 4 Stars
Good movie overall, though not an emotional experience. One of the other reviews stated that it was an emotional experience, I don't know about that, but it is a pleasant feel good movie. Movie Review: A feel good movie you can watch a dozen times..
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie will set you free even at times when you hit rock bottom. The mystical aspects add on a bonus puzzle for the viewers' mind while enjoying the story like who Vance actually could be. I have seen the movie three times already on DVD and each time it pulls me in through out the whole show.Movie Review: Searching for the "Authentic Swing"
Summary: 5 Stars
When I saw it at the theater, The Legend of Baggar Vance touched me so deeply that I went back 2 more times to see it (something I've never done before.)
Directed by Robert Redford and starring Will Smith, Matt Damon, and Charlize Theron, this movie is about golf as a metaphor for life. I very much identified with Rannulph Junuh, the disillusioned WW1 veteran who was searching for his 'authentic swing'--as well as himself.
Bagger the mysterious caddy (played by Smith) is a wise and good-natured guru that challenges Junuh to reach deep within him and remember who he was--and who he can become.
The mystical themes that I enjoyed in this movie was how the "mundane" can be a powerful metaphor for spiritual truths, what it means to be authentic, and how life has a rhythm and flow to it that can be eased into when one becomes more conscious.
