 Mysterious Saviour April 24, 2008
This is a movie ostensibly about golf, but in actuality it is about life. A once superb golfer sinks to a life of drink and gambling. Challenged to participate as local color, he begins to practice his swing with a view of playing in a tournament with legendary Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. From nowhere Bagger Vance appears, guides him to the mentality and courage to really take part. He rises to the occasion and when able to carry on alone, Bagger Vance disappears,
Beyond the obvious lesson about life and inner strength, the golf tournament itself is lovely, with the actor playing Bobby Jones particularly displaying a beautiful swing. Matt Damon does well as always.
An Uplifting Story February 15, 2008
If you like golf, romance, a wonderful musical score, a good story, a great cast, and a little fantasy, you'll love The Legend of Bagger Vance. The scenery is breathtaking. The story is uplifting and fun. I enthusiastically recommend Bagger Vance.
Classic and timeless January 24, 2008
This is one of my favorite stories of all time. The story is well told, carries a powerful message and appeals to all age groups in all walks of life.
Spectacular January 20, 2008
This is undeniably the greatest golf movie ever. The story is fantastic, involving the great depression, Bobby Jones and a war hero(played exceptionally by Matt Damon). However, the best part of this spectacular film is the acting. I love Will Smith as Bagger Vance, and with Matt Damon as the main protagonist and Charlize Theron as Ms. Idelle Envagordon, you simply cannot lose. If you love golf and movies, see this one.
A deeper understanding December 13, 2007

Before I saw this DVD I never had a full understanding of the role within the Trinity played by the Holy Spirit; I knew He was a comforter to us in times of need but did not see His importance. For the rest of my life I will now see Him as a gentle helper much like Bagger Vance in this story. Will Smith plays the role of his career in this movie with the splendid assistance of Matt Damon and Jack Lemmon, playing a man about my age, adds a wonderful ending to the story. This is a typical movie that Robert Redford continually provides for our enjoyment in that, after seeing it, you will be a little enriched by the experience.
