Look how silky this movie is, and how completely in command of its tone. Robert Redford's "The Legend of Bagger Vance" could be a movie about prayer, music or mathematics because it is really about finding yourself at peace with the thing you do best. Most of the movie is about an epic golf tournament, but it is not a sports movie in any conventional sense. It is the first zen movie about golf.

I watched it aware of what a delicate touch Redford brings to the material. It could have been punched up into cliches and easy thrills, but no: It handles a sports movie the way Billie Holiday handled a trashy song, by finding the love and pain beneath the story. Redford and his writer, Jeremy Leven , starting from a novel by Steven Pressfield , are very clear in their minds about what they want to do. They want to explain why it is possible to devote your life to the love of golf, and they want to hint that golf and life may have a lot in common.

I am not a golfer. It doesn't matter. Golf or any game is not about the rules or tools, but about how you conduct yourself. Civilized games make civilized societies. You look at the movie and you see that if athletes are not gentlemen and gentlewomen, there is no reason to watch them. Michael Jordan is a gentleman. Roger Clemens is not. You see how it works.

"The Legend of Bagger Vance" takes place in Savannah, Ga., in the first years of the Depression. A man builds a great golf course, goes broke and shoots himself. His daughter Adele ( Charlize Theron ) faces ruin, but risks everything on a $10,000 tournament. She invites the two greatest golfers in the world: Bobby Jones ( Joel Gretsch ) and Walter Hagen ( Bruce McGill ). And she also persuades Rannulph Junuh ( Matt Damon ), who was the greatest player in Savannah until he went off to World War I and something broke inside. He spent the 1920s drinking and playing poker.

Junuh doesn't much want to return to golf, which for him also means returning to civilization and to his own better nature. Three people encourage him. One is Adele. Before the war they were in love. One is a boy named Hardy (J. Michael Moncrief) who dreams about golf. And one is Bagger Vance ( Will Smith ), a caddy who appears out of nowhere and assigns himself to the rehabilitation and education of Rannulph Junuh.

We have here the elements for a cruder movie. We can imagine how Jones and Hagen could be painted as hard-edged professionals, how the caddy could be sketched with broad strokes like some kind of an angel in a sitcom, how the little kid could be made insufferable and cute, how Adele and Junuh could fight and make up and fight, all according to the outlines they hand out in screenwriting class.

That's not how this movie goes. Nothing in it is pushed too far; it is a masterpiece of tact. Not even the outcome of the tournament is pumped up for effect; quietly, the movie suggests that how the tournament is won is more important than who wins it. As for the romance, it's in a minor key good for regret and tremulous hope; Charlize Theron's wise, sweet Adele handles Junuh like a man she wants to teach about tenderness.

Every actor makes the point, and then pauses, content. Matt Damon's Junuh is not a comeback hero but a man who seems surprised to be playing golf. Jones and Hagen are not the good cop and the bad cop. They're both good--sportsmen who love the game but don't talk a lot about it. Jones is handsome, a golden boy. Hagen is dark and has a gut and smokes all the time. Jones plays a beautiful game. Hagen is always getting into trouble and saving himself. Both of them are . . . having fun. Just fun.

Will Smith could make Bagger Vance insufferable, but the part is written and played to make it more of a bemused commentary. He has theories about golf, and ways of handling his player, and advice, but it is all oblique and understated. No violins. Is he a real person or a spirit? You tell me. Oh, and the kid: He's necessary because he has to grow up and become an old man ( Jack Lemmon ) and tell the story, so that you can see that lessons were learned.

The photography by Michael Ballhaus makes the great course look green, limitless and sad--sad that every shot must fall and every game must end. There is a dusk here that is heartbreaking, like the end of every perfect summer day. The spectators do not make spectacles of themselves, but seem to identify with the aspirations of the players. Hagen and Jones know each other well, and during the marathon tournament they watch Junuh carefully, and decide that he will do. Redford found the same feeling in " A River Runs Through It ," where the standards a man forms through his pastime give value to his whole life. Golf, Bagger tells Junuh, is "a game that can't be won, only played."

The Legend of Bagger Vance

By Peter Travers

Peter Travers

Personally, I’d rather slice into the deep rough than have some mystical caddie blowing hot air in my ear about the symbolic meaning of my golf swing. If you read Steven Pressfield’s 1996 novel, The Legend of Bagger Vance, you know that the title character isn’t just a caddie but a godly personification of the epic Hindu text Bhagavad-Gita. You also know that the fictional golf golden boy Rannulph Junuh isn’t just some soul-destroyed World War I hero who’s lost his authentic golf swing, but Arjuna, an Indian warrior in need of spiritual guidance. As Bagger says in the book: “Before Time was, I am. Before Form was, I am.” Holy best-selling New Age prattle. Before the movie is, I am outta here.

Luckily, Robert Redford did not make the movie version of Bagger Vance that I feared. As a director, most notably in his great, underappreciated Quiz Show, Redford has the gift of cutting through mumbo jumbo to find the soul of a tale. Junuh, played with a seductive aura of privilege by Matt Damon , is a legend in Savannah, Georgia, in 1916. He has looks, intelligence, money, a tournament-winning golf style and the prettiest girl in town, Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron). But the war damages Junuh’s psyche. Back from the trenches, he uses alcohol to retreat from Adele, from life, from golf. Then, in 1931, Adele and Savannah call on Junuh for a favor. Adele’s father, a suicide casualty of the Depression, has left her the Krewe Island Golf Resort. To save the place from going belly up, Adele organizes an exhibition match between two golf legends, Bobby Jones (Joel Gretsch) and Walter Hagen (a superbly wry Bruce McGill). Savannah’s civic leaders demand a local boy to take on the Goliaths. Ten-year-old Hardy Greaves (the sweetly guileless J. Michael Moncrief) keeps a scrapbook on Junuh and pleads for his idol. Adele offers sex. But Junuh’s decision to get back in the game is motivated by a more mysterious source.

Norm Macdonald Was the Hater O.J. Simpson Could Never Outrun

Rfk jr. campaign fires staffer who said the quiet part out loud, senate dems finally subpoena supreme court puppetmaster, jojo siwa is trying too hard to shock us.

His name is Bagger Vance ( Will Smith ), a stranger who appears one night when Junuh is on the driving range and who offers his services as a caddie. For “five dollars, guaranteed,” Bagger will help Junuh get back his lost swing. Thanks to a charmingly low-key performance by Smith and a screenplay by Jeremy Leven (Don Juan DeMarco) that goes lighter than the book does on lofty pronouncements, Bagger isn’t the albatross he is on the page. Redford slyly eases humor into the proceedings. He is also blessed with Theron, a live wire who has the acting chops to match her looks. Hello, gorgeous. ut the focus is on the match — thirty-six holes played over two days, with reporters, visitors and all of Savannah breathing hotly down the necks of the golf champs. Redford’s films, from Ordinary People to The Horse Whisperer, always start with a pungent sense of place. Ace cinematographer Michael Ballhaus ( GoodFellas ) evokes old Savannah in all its verdant glory. Redford revels in the etiquette of the game’s rules; in the crisp, formal dress of the players; in the concentration required for precision performance. Though duffer Damon clearly is green on the greens — PGA master Tim Moss gave him a crash course — the more experienced McGill and Gretsch deftly suggest the differing swing styles that also help define their characters. “Entertainment — that’s what the people want,” says Hagen. But it isn’t the merchandising of golf that interests Redford, it’s the art of the game. In one breathtaking scene, Jones, oblivious to the crowd, raises his club for a glorious, gliding swing that shows even fallible humans can achieve a state of grace.

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

“Play your own game,” Bagger tells Junuh. The point isn’t lost on Redford, who once had considered playing Junuh himself, with Morgan Freeman as Bagger, in an older-and-wiser take on the story that might have struck more resonant chords. Still, Junuh’s odyssey on the links stirs undeniable excitement as Redford lofts this heartfelt fantasy over the trap of banality to create a true sense of wonder. Despite sentimental seepage in Rachel Portman’s score and in the prologue and epilogue featuring Jack Lemmon as the older Hardy, Redford plays the game of filmmaking to reveal what he holds sacred: story, character, feeling, thoughtful pacing, and an alertness to nuances of honor and shame that most movies skip in the rush to the rush. In this new millennium, Redford’s game couldn’t be less trendy or more vitally alive.

The Legend Of Bagger Vance Review

Legend Of Bagger Vance, The

Robert Redford's golfing parable was an attempt to drag some old-fashioned morality back into 21st century cinema.

Although beautifully shot, it's slow going, but if you can bear the pace and the wholesome performances of golfer Matt Damon and mystical caddy Will Smith, it does make rewarding viewing.

A good film for the family

Takes god's name in vain multiple times., what's the story.

In THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE, a golden boy, young, handsome, a champion golfer, wins the heart of Adele (Charlize Theron), the most beautiful debutante in Georgia. His roots in Savannah are so deep that even his name seems spelled with a Southern accent -- Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon). Then he goes off to fight in World War I, and comes home "confused, broken, and unable to face a return to a hero's welcome." He does not speak to Adele or see any of his old friends and he does not play golf for more than 10 years. And then Adele needs him to play the two greatest golfers in the world at an exhibition match that can keep her from bankruptcy. A mysterious stranger named Bagger Vance (Will Smith) arrives to give Junuh the guidance he needs to get back in the game.

Is It Any Good?

Your ability to appreciate this movie will depend on your tolerance for larger-than life stories with allegorical, even epical, overtones. Some people will find it simplistic and clichéd. They will see Bagger Vance's relationship with Junuh as too much like having Yoda coach Luke Skywalker. Vance tells Junuh things that will either strike you as wise or fortune-cookie corny, depending on your point of view. But others, particularly those who have spent some time in the South, will recognize it as not too far off from the way things actually occur in that part of the country, especially on the golf course. They will enjoy the sun-dappled greens and the pleasures of seeing a man find a swing that makes a sound like thunder when it drives the ball.

This movie has a lot in common with A River Runs Through It . Like that one, this story begins with an old man remembering the sport and the setting of his youth, with golf, like fly-fishing, as a metaphor for man's interaction with nature and fate and even love. But A River Runs Through It was more complex and more comfortable with ambiguity. Its message was that a person can love completely without understanding completely. This movie, with its more traditional journey of redemption, is not as wise or moving. But it is a good story, lovingly told, and beautiful to watch.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the differences in how the characters when things go badly. Older kids may want to talk about the potential racism inherent in assigning a sort of magical "otherness" to the lone black character. Families can also talk about how this movie shows the importance of integrity, and about how we find our own "authentic swings," the ones that our hands know before our heads do.

Movie review.

The Legend of Bagger Vance finds the meaning of life in a little white ball. Its conclusions are balanced, but the setup is a bit shaky, sometimes feeling haphazard and lopsided. In 1916, a young Rannulph Junuh wields a mean driver, using his magnificent golf skills to captivate America’s budding sports world and win the undying adoration of his hometown, Savannah, Ga. Then WWI sends him overseas. He survives, but what he sees and experiences sends him into an emotional tailspin. He’s unable even to face the hero’s welcome sure to await him in Savannah, so he just disappears. His beautiful girlfriend, Adele, meanwhile, suffers through his absence and the suicide death of her father. Even though the great depression is now in full swing, she vows to never sell her father’s greatest achievement, a luxurious golf course and country club. To save it, she initiates an exhibition tournament between two of the country’s greatest golfers, Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones. That’s where Junuh comes back into the story. She needs him to fill out the scorecard as the local celebrity. He doesn’t want to at first, but gives in rather quickly. Bagger Vance appears (magically) out of nowhere to be his caddie and coach, and teach him all the life lessons that golf can possibly teach.

positive elements: Those lessons include honesty, fairness, serenity, peace and determination. The tournament has come down to the wire, and playing by the rules may well cost him the game, but Junuh refuses to compromise. He won’t cheat even when an easy opportunity presents itself. Bagger gradually shows him how to overcome adversity and emerge from the shadows of his own private torture. He uses the disciplines of golf to get his message across. Hard work, even if it is “beneath one’s dignity” is lauded (the depression-era setting lends itself well to communicating this virtue).

spiritual content: None.

sexual content: Early on, it is implied that Junuh and Adele’s on-screen kissing leads to sex. Later, Adele strips down to her camisole and offers to sleep with Junuh, hoping to lure him into accepting her invitation to compete in the tournament. Even worse, Hardy (a young boy of about 10) watches the whole exchange. After Adele leaves, Junuh tells Hardy that his “education” is over and he can go home. Hardy immediately brags to his friends that he watched Adele “strip down to her skivvies.” Hagen is known for his womanizing. One scene shows him tapping a golf ball around his living room (a woman lying on the floor provides the “cup” with her cleavage).

violent content: Vignettes of WWI combat. When Adele’s father kills himself, a gunshot rings out and the camera lingers on his limp hand from which the weapon falls.

crude or profane language: Not much by today’s standards, but if one takes into account the film’s 1930s backdrop, Junuh cusses like a sailor. Two s-words and a handful of mild profanities cross his lips in the course of two hours. He also misuses the name of Jesus three or four times.

drug and alcohol content: Junuh drinks to excess in order to try and forget the experiences that haunt him from the war. Half-serious, half-joking, he tells Hardy that the last brain cells to get destroyed when you drink are the “memory cells.” He and his friends drink, smoke and play poker. Hagen smokes while he plays in the tournament.

conclusion: In this age of quick cuts, roiling action, fast zooms and hand-held cameras, it’s a relief to sit and watch a movie that takes its time. Director Robert Redford makes sure the scenes linger as the screen fills with expansive green fields and the unbroken luster of languid southern afternoons. And you don’t have to be a golf fan to enjoy the mood.

It’s also nice every once in a while to see life boiled down to such a simple essence. You know it doesn’t last and won’t translate well to the real world (not to mention the golf course), but at least you are touched with a moment of inspiration. You’re given a visual handle on how to better travel from the shadows into the sunlight. That’s all a bit esoteric, but The Legend of Bagger Vance only works if you take the time to step back a bit, relax and forget about how busy the rest of your life is. And isn’t that why movies were created in the first place?

At the risk of sounding stodgy, I do have one small quarrel with Junuh’s athletic performance. He comes out of a decade of “retirement” and obscurity to compete against the game’s top athletes without any training or practice. It’s sheer willpower and the subtle encouragement of Bagger Vance that reverts him—instantly—into the superstar that he was years earlier. I’m no expert, but I think Tiger Woods would take issue with the probability of such a thing. Top-level competitive sports (golf included) demand dedication, time, sweat and tears. Even “rags-to-riches” sports flicks like The Bad News Bears, The Mighty Ducks, Cool Runnings and The Replacements show their lackluster teams exert themselves at least a little bit before emerging at the top of the heap. One doesn’t just “visualize” the way to victory and glory.

Neither can one ignore the fact that this film isn’t as squeaky clean as it would have been had it been made during the time in which its story is set. Profanity and a couple of uncomfortable sexual interludes lay like sunken sand traps next to the green. And Bagger’s advice waxes mystical at times. “Everything that is becomes one,” he breathes. “There’s a perfect shot out there trying to find each and every one of us. All we’ve got to do is get ourselves out of the way and let it choose us.” So consider the hazards before hauling the family out for an evening of fun at the Bagger Vance country club.

Review of The Legend of Bagger Vance

Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) returns home from war, and doesn't feel comfortable in his surroundings, or in himself.

Junuh begins a mystical journey of self-discovery when local kid Hardy Graves (J. Michael Moncrief) coaxes him into competing in a golf championship, which is organized by Rannulph¿s ex-girlfriend, Adele (Charlize Theron).

As Junuh prepares for the competition, he discovers he no longer has what it takes to play the game. He¿s about to give-up, until mysterious stranger Bagger Vance (Will Smith) comes out of nowhere, offering to help Rannulph ¿find¿ his swing.

Junuh is maneuvered into accepting Vance¿s offer ¿ an offer which results in Junuh discovering many subtleties about the game of golf, and many subtleties about the game of life¿

As sophisticated and glossy as TLBV is, when all is said and done, it¿s a gimmick film, predicated on the audience accepting (and running with) the conceit that human existence can be universally equated to the sport of golf. ¿A man¿s grip on his club is just like a man¿s grip on his world¿ says Will Smith¿s Bagger Vance to lost soul Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) as the latter tries to ¿find his swing¿ after many years out of the game.

There¿s no escaping the reality that you must accept such analogies for Bagger Vance to work. And, in order to fully ¿get¿ the analogies, you must have a reasonable understanding of golf. And even with a vast understanding of the sport, TLOBV hasn¿t considered its metaphors clearly enough to give them their intended meaning or resonance. Throughout the film, there seem to be the beginnings of many profound notions, but they keep getting buried beneath the movie¿s often cold nature.

For example, Smith¿s Vance speaks pointedly about one¿s ¿authentic swing¿ (or something like that) ¿ equating it to a pure moment when we do something we were meant to do without thought, effort, or concern. Presumably, this is the sporting equivalent of ¿using The Force¿ ¿ and Damon¿s struggle to do this is very much the crux of the film. But we never get a clear sense of what this means beyond the moment. We never see how Matt Damon getting on top of the way of things really matters in any way past the immediate golfing event at hand. Lip service is paid to Damon¿s becoming better able to chase the girl through honing his golf skills, etc. ¿ but the correlations are esoteric and un-defined. The film tells us Damon is changing, but it rarely shows us how he has changed inside, and Damon¿s performance is too one-note to provide much-needed insight into what the character is going through. We don't feel the arc he is travelling, we only see him going through the motions. Which makes the ¿drama¿ in Bagger Vance much like watching a golf game when you don't really understand the sport: there's a lot of standing around, waiting for something to happen. But even when something does happen, you don't really know what the hell it means.

Redford¿s treatment of the subject suggests a cosmic profundity to his ¿golf = life¿ psychology ¿ but it simply doesn't echo beyond the film. Thus, it¿s really not clear what this movie is supposed to be (the journey of Junuh? The journey of character Hardy Greaves ¿ whose older incarnation is the narrator of the piece? The journey of us all?), or what we¿re supposed to carry away from it. Maybe Redford tried to do us a favor by not being too heavy-handed with the film¿s ¿point,¿ when, in reality, we might have needed to get beaten over the head with it a little bit more. Maybe Redford simply miscalculated the movie¿s sentiments ¿ or assumed because he understood it, the rest of us would. Whichever the case, there is a definite sense TLOBV is speaking to the human condition in general, but many viewers will likely not find its ¿message¿ articulated clearly enough to warrant much consideration after the fact.

(l-r) Bobby Jones (Joel Gretch), Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) and Walter Hagen (Bruce McGill) face each other (and an unforgiving golf course) in DreamWorks' The Legend of Bagger Vance .

Beyond its jumbled purpose, the film¿s greater weakness is ultimately what sinks it: it¿s difficult to care for any of the people on-screen. Most performers put forth valliant effort, but The Legend of Bagger Vance is often a very cold movie. Damon is solid but uncharismatic as Rannulph Junuh, the film¿s primary character. His chemistry with Charlize Theron¿s Adele (an interaction which, in many ways, should be driving the film) is non-existent. She pines and croons and cries for him when he returns to her life after a protracted absence, but we never really know why ¿ because we don't know what he was like before he left. All we see now is a stoic and self-pitying man who wouldn't seem to inspire the emotional investment she is affording him. He swings back and forth between wanting her and not wanting her ¿ but we never get a sense of how her character is affecting him, or how her presence drives his actions (which is implied throughout the movie). Much like the concerns voiced above, there's a feeling these people understand things about each other and themselves which the audience simply isn¿t privy to ¿ making TLOBV a distancing and aloof experience.

Some effort to set-up these characters and their interactions is made via a protracted opening narrative, but it¿s not enough to give us any meat to chew on ¿ it¿s only enough to help us understand what the hell is happening for the rest of the movie. We needed to know these people more before we could appreciate what they¿re going through.

This criticism is inextricably entwined with the above mentioned ¿what¿s the point¿ consideration. To have trouble figuring out what a movie is trying to say is one thing. But for an audience to be uncertain as to why they should care about what the film is trying to say¿because the film¿s characterizations are too clumsy to promote any interest in the people personifying the movie¿s message¿is a deeply fundamental and devastating flaw. A flaw from which TLOBV never recovers.

Michael Ballhaus¿ cinematography is crisp and enticing, although a more ¿mystical¿ look might have better accentuated the sometimes magical nature of Junuh¿s journey, and enabled Rachel Portman¿s stunning score stick-out a little bit less (its gorgeous melody lines and lyrical nature frequently seem to clash with the movie¿s less-than-atmospheric, less than magical photography). Production design by Stuart Craig is tremendous, and actors Bruce McGill and Joel Hagen deserve honorable mention for so deftly performing Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones ¿ Junuh¿s opponents in the tournament. They are, arguably, the ¿realest¿ characters in the film. [Editor's Note: this is likely because Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones were very much real people... not to mention legendary golfers. Hagen won 11 major championships in his career, including his first at the U.S. Open in which he birdied the 18th hole each round, something no champion has done before or since. Jones, who retired arguably at the peak of his career at age 28, won 13 majors , a record that would stand for over 40 years. - BZ]

Redford¿s direction is, as always, technically masterful ¿ although it is frequently miscalculated, spending too much time focusing on irrelevancies at the sacrifice of cohesion and character (as mentioned above). Sometimes he seems conflicted: there's a sense he desperately wants to feed off the same surreal ¿vibe¿ which made Barry Levinson¿s The Natural (in which Redford starred) such a timeless classic, but there's also a sense he wants us to avoid any comparison between the two. Which is difficult to do, because both films treat sports as a magical, mythological experience, and both films struggle to create a sense of larger-than-life importance about things which aren¿t inherently magic and important to many people. The Natural excels at doing so, thanks in no small part to its ambiance and atmosphere. TLOBV doesn't benefit from the same advantages. No matter how hard it tries to avoid the pitfall, The Legend of Bagger Vance simply evokes its predecessor a bit too often. And, when all is said and done, it pales pitifully in comparison¿

¿ Glen wonders what this movie would be like if it were set at the local Putt-Putt golf course, which has a really cool giant dinosaur on it...

Will Smith and Matt Damon in The Legend of Bagger Vance .

I have always been a huge fan of classic movies, especially those made before 1960. Movies then were far subtler than most are today. Of course it takes a longer attention span to watch a movie that does not have an edit or shot change every three seconds; but actually allows, or rather forces, the actors in the scene to maintain a character. Old movies, in general, have more dialogue and less scene changes than new ones. Once one gets past the lack of in-your-face eye candy which is really what most of today's movies are based on, one begins to realize that it can be far more powerful when a movie implies something than when it rams something down our throats until we are gagging on the graphic details. The Legend of Bagger Vance , from director and superstar Robert Redford, is one example of a new movie with the style of an old one.

Meticulous in its attention to the time period, which ranges from right before World War I to the early thirties. Matt Damon plays Rannulph Junuh; former golf golden boy who suffers a mental and spiritual breakdown when the Germans wipe out most of his entire company. Flash forward a dozen years or so as he returns home to Savannah, Georgia in time to reluctantly take part in an historic golf match to take place on the course that his former fiancé (Charlize Theron) owns. Enter mystical caddy Bagger Vance, played by Will Smith who proves he is an actor capable of much more restraint than one might expect given his track record of playing wise-ass action heroes. Can he help Junuh to find his swing in time to beat legendary golfers Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones? The story is actually told through a flashback by narrator Hardy Greaves (Jack Lemmon), who was a boy of ten when the events occurred.

The assumption made about period movies or ''hat'' movies as they are called, is that they move at a snails pace and never really pay off emotionally. Neither complaint is true of Bagger Vance . At just over two hours, this movie spends the first hour introducing the characters and showing how they came to their moments of crisis, the second half shows redemption through golf as a metaphor for life. This is one Redford production that moves along nicely, unlike The Horse Whisperer or The Natural . And yes the ending is hopelessly romantic, as it damn well should be.

The talented young trio of actors at this movies core, Smith, Damon and Theron are very much at ease with the world their characters inhabit and each has the needed physical beauty and screen presence to play them as larger than life. From the opening shot to the final credits this is one gorgeous film. Bagger Vance also evinces a gentle humor similar to A River Runs Through It . Rate this one a winner!

Will Smith in The Legend of Bagger Vance .

Patrick got a few things right. The film is beautifully shot, and the period is accurately detailed. What he gets wrong is the pace and Will Smith's performance.

Robert Redford is a true artist. His direction is a panorama of color, mood and movement. The dark, smoking scene when Hardy first meets Junuh sitting in shadows. The setting obviously representing where Junuh's life is presently at. The beautifully shot golf scenes on manicured lawns almost made me want to pick up the game. The shot where the camera flew through the air with the golf ball was breathtaking.

Where Redford seems to fail as a director is in directing his players. I find that interesting considering he is such a fine actor himself. The scene where Charlize Theron pulls Matt Damon aside in the middle of a round to pour her heart out seemed way out of place. I nearly gagged when she very emotionally said ''should I melt in your arms like butter on a muffin?'' Only Scarlet O'Hara working her charm could have gotten away with that line.

Will Smith pretty much made some easy money here. I am guessing this is all the direction he got. ''Will, look serious and say your line.'' Unless acting subdued is a lot of work for him, he could have probably shot his part in a day.

What is it with Redford and blond actors? He directed Brad Pitt and now Matt Damon. Something Freudian going on? Damon has never been my favorite actor. As long as he's talking he does alright. However, he looks constipated when he doesn't have any lines.

As is the norm in a Redford film the pace is in first gear. Granted it isn't the chore that watching Ordinary (boring) People is. Still a peppier pace wouldn't hurt.

Charlize Theron in The Legend of Bagger Vance .

Watching a movie on video is such a different thing than watching it on the big screen. Had I seen this movie in the theater, I don't know that I would have liked it so much. But watching it late at night, curled up on my bed, I loved it. Perhaps it is easier to watch a slower paced movie on video, after all, I saw Ordinary People and The Natural on video and I liked both of them, especially The Natural , which like The Legend of Bagger Vance , uses Sport as a metaphor for life. Which is odd, because apart from Tennis, I'm not a sports fan at all.

Eric mentioned Redford's habit of hiring younger versions of himself, particularly Bard Pitt, who could easily be his son, and now here, Matt Damon. It's funny because I thought the exact same thing while watching this movie. It's a habit I'm grateful for though, because unlike Woody Allen, who thinks he can play any age, Redford knows not to try to play every role himself, and instead hires a surrogate actor to play the younger parts. He also seems to enjoy the time period of this movie. The Natural , and The Legend of Bagger Vance both take place in the early part of the 20th century. Maybe it stems back to Redford's portrayal of Gatsby in The Great Gatsby , as both The Natural and Bagger Vance both have elements of an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story.

I disagree with Eric's assessment of the acting. In most of Will Smith's movies, at least the action ones, he seems to be playing himself. Is there much difference between his characters in Independence Day, Men in Black, and Wild, Wild West? In this movie, he shows remarkable restraint and manages to say his inspiring, but vague speeches to Matt Damon's character without making them sound corny or over done. The scene where Charlize Theron pulls Matt Damon aside near the end of the Golf Match, that Eric mentions as being out of place, I found entirely justified. Her character of Adelle sees that Junah is becoming a success and is afraid of losing him again. The last thing she wants is for him to leave again. She is a Southern Belle used to getting her way and being the center of attention. This scene is her reclaiming of his attentions. As for Matt Damon himself, I agree with Eric in that he is not and never has been one of my favorite actors. This movie nearly changed that opinion...nearly. As Eric mentioned, the first shot of Damon, shows him in smoky shadows. He is in fact, drunk and playing poker. For this scene and a few to follow, he actually comes off as dark and disturbed. Unfortunately, as the movie progresses and he regains his confidence, he becomes more Damon-like, but not unbearably so.

I think the only way I could have enjoyed this movie more, would have been if Redford had gone with Brad Pitt in the role. Brad plays dark better than Damon and he's closer to the correct age for the character.

Like Eric, I too felt the urge to pick up a club after watching this movie, but that's not what it's about at all. Golf is a metaphor for life and you don't need to have played or even like the game to enjoy this movie.

FILM REVIEW

FILM REVIEW; Golf Angel to the Rescue

By A. O. Scott

Nov. 3, 2000

If you've ever been stuck on a long airline flight without a good spy novel or the day's newspapers, you may have found yourself flipping through the fat, glossy catalog thoughtfully placed in the seat pocket in front of you. Amid the pages of high-tech toys, power ties and kitchen gadgets, you might have noticed a section devoted to tchotchkes and posters emblazoned with deep thoughts and uplifting slogans. Many of these items have something to do with golf: tee-shaped cuff links, dimpled paperweights, and soft-focus framed photographs of sun-dappled fairways accompanied by proverbs like ''A man's grip on his club is like his grip on life'' or ''Golf is a game that can't be won, only played.''

Actually, these are lines spoken by Bagger Vance, the mystical caddy played by Will Smith in Robert Redford's new movie, which might charitably be described as an inspirational poster blown up into a feature film. Visually, ''The Legend of Bagger Vance'' consists mainly of lush vistas of fairways, bunkers and greens on which nice-looking people amble about in crisp Depression-era knee pants, sweaters and cloche hats, swapping spiritual sports talk and pausing to knock a ball or two around the grass.

Clearly, the film is meant to capitalize on the current popularity of golf, which has, in the age of Tiger Woods and Maximum Golf magazine, shed its image as the boring pastime of privileged middle-aged white guys.

But ''The Legend of Bagger Vance,'' despite the participation of bankable young stars like Matt Damon, Charlize Theron and Mr. Smith, is a throwback to an earlier era, the Jim Crow era, to be precise. Not only is it excruciatingly boring -- the cinematic equivalent of a pleasant walk in the country spoiled by pointless distractions -- but its central premises are so banal and dubious as to border on offensiveness.

The beginning is needlessly hectic and confusing, zigzagging backward and forward in time from the present to the late 1920's, then back to 1917, forward to the trenches of World War I, and shifting its point of view from Hardy Greaves (J. Michael Moncrief), a young boy in Savannah, Ga., and Rannulph Junuh (Mr. Damon), the gifted golfer who is the boy's, and the town's, somewhat tarnished hero.

As if to compensate for its early complications, the movie soon settles into a mood of hushed simplicity -- or, more accurately, of simple-minded torpor.

Junuh has returned to Savannah a damaged, tortured soul, his youthful confidence shattered by the trauma of war and a decade of drift. He has come back a drunken layabout. Meanwhile, his former fiancee, Adele Invergordon (Ms. Theron), has devoted herself to fulfilling her late father's dream of building a world-class golf course on a nearby island. To keep the dream alive in the depths of the Great Depression, she proposes an exhibition tournament featuring Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen, the era's real-life golf superstars.

The city fathers insist, apparently out of sheer spite, that the match can only take place if a local golfer participates, and so Hardy decides to roust Junuh from his drunken self-pity and send him out onto the links to defend his hometown's honor. Along the way he faces down his demons, fights for the love of the woman he abandoned and hits a hole in one.

Assisting in Junuh's redemption is Bagger, an unshaven black man in a battered hat who appears out of nowhere to dispense down-home folk wisdom that is meant to apply, it is made wincingly clear, to much more than golf. In compensation, he asks only ''$5 guaranteed'' and an old pair of Junuh's shoes, instead of the standard 10-percent caddy's cut of the tournament purse.

Mr. Smith, speaking in exaggerated Southern black dialect, seems to have strolled out of the last five minutes of Spike Lee's ''Bamboozled,'' a brief, painful anthology of the ways African-American performers have been mocked and demeaned in the movies of the past. His character, with no history and no connections, exists for the sole purpose of serving a white man's needs.

It might be argued that, like the character played by Michael Clarke Duncan in last year's death-row fable, ''The Green Mile,'' Bagger Vance is not meant to be a real person, but a spiritual emanation, an angel sent to minister to Junuh's troubled soul. (Apparently black people in Georgia in 1931 had no problems of their own.) But supernatural is not much better than subhuman: Hollywood is still, in the year 2000, disinclined to let black actors play human beings.

But of course, ''Bagger Vance'' isn't really about race. It's not about anything. Its woozy air of unreality insulates it from outrage, and from any narrative or thematic interest. Mr. Redford, working from a screenplay by Jeremy Leven, seems content to let his story meander through a series of hokey, unconvincing encounters between various characters in the hopes that everything will make sense once the tournament gets under way.

Mr. Damon and Ms. Theron seem emotionally inert, lost in their costumes and hopelessly miscast. Mr. Damon -- the younger alter ego Mr. Redford customarily inserts in his movies -- never looks like a man who has suffered damage or disillusionment. His face is too smooth, too eager and open. And Ms. Theron, attempting a spunky Southern spitfire, nearly sprains her tongue on an accent almost as ludicrous as Mr. Smith's.

''Every man's got an authentic swing,'' Bagger intones. One can only wonder what has happened to Mr. Redford's. As a filmmaker, he has never been exactly electrifying, but he has at least, in movies like ''Ordinary People'' and ''Quiz Show,'' demonstrated some curiosity about human motivations and some knack for storytelling. Yet here, as in the dreadful ''Horse Whisperer,'' his mind is apparently trained on higher, spiritual matters, like golf. He seems to have ascended to a plane of spiritual self-awareness indistinguishable from complete boredom.

''This is starting to get embarrassing,'' Junuh says to Bagger, after a series of disastrous shots has put him many strokes behind his opponents.

''Oh, no, Suh,'' says his faithful caddy, ''this has been embarrassing for quite some time now.''

''The Legend of Bagger Vance'' is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes a brief, pointless suggestion of sex and some mild country-club profanity.

The Legend Of Bagger Vance - Official site

But the horrors of World War I changed Rannulph. Abandoning golf and Adele, he sought forgetfulness in the bottle. Now, with the onset of the great depression, Adele endures the untimely passing of her father and finds herself heir to a resort no one can afford with angry investors begging her to sell at a bargain price. To save the family name, Adele concocts a grand tournament involving two of the best golfers of the day—Bobby Jones (Joel Gretsch) and Walter Hagen (Bruce McGill). Hoping these celebrities will put her course on the map, the town council insists she include a local contestant—Rannulph.

Like a bolt from heaven (something golfers too often experience), Bagger has all the answers. Within a few short days, Rannulph has found his “one true authentic swing” and reenters the religion of golf. With the remainder of the movie focusing on the tournament, we witness the typical straight-down-the-fairway sports story with Rannulph’s confidence swinging more wildly than his clubs and Bagger wedging in wisdom between holes.

While children will likely snooze through this puttering script, parents should note the sexual scenes, frequent depiction of alcohol and tobacco use, and brief war footage. For avid golfers, Bagger may provide a spiritual experience. Meanwhile the rest of us (who think birdies belong in nests) will likely see a warm fuzzy clich0xE9 that barely makes par.

Kato Kaelin Expresses Condolences To Simpson, Brown & Goldman Families, Says “Nicole Was A Beacon Of Light” – Update

On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. -The Simpson Family — O.J. Simpson (@TheRealOJ32) April 11, 2024

When police sought to question him about the crimes, Simpson vowed to turn himself in at LAPD’s Parker Center headquarters. When he failed to show up 45 minutes after the agreed-upon time, a police spokesman announced in a news conference that Simpson was a fugitive and that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Officer David Gascon shocked the room and the nation when he said, “The Los Angeles Police Department is actively searching for Mr. Simpson.”

Simpson’s white Ford Bronco, driven by longtime friend and ex-USC and NFL teammate Al “A.C.” Cowlings, was spotted on an Orange County freeway, and the most famous of all televised TV pursuits was on. Crowds lined the overpasses to witness history, many cheering him on, as the Bronco made its way north toward L.A., trailed by numerous law-enforcement vehicles at regular speeds and filmed by helicopters . An estimated 95 million people watched at least part of the chase.

Coming just 2½ years after the Rodney King riots, Simpson’s televised trial flat-out mesmerized the country, with its overtones of race, celebrity, wealth, spousal abuse and brutal violence. It became a cultural touchstone of the 1990s that ruminates today.

The 11-month trial from November 1994 to October 1995 would make household names of such people as Johnnie Cochran, Marcia Clark, Kato Kaelin, Robert Shapiro, Mark Fuhrman, Robert Kardashian, Judge Lance Ito, Christopher Darden and others. It also spawned many unforgettable moments, including Simpson trying to put on the gloves that were recovered at the scene of the grisly crimes. That moment led Cochran — who led the “Dream Team” of high-priced defense attorneys — to deliver one of the most famous catchphrases in legal history: “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” Also infamous is Simpson’s emphatic if petulant statement upon pleading to the charges: “Absolutely, 100 percent not guilty.”

The chase, arrest and trial became one of the biggest stories of the late 20th century, especially in Simpson’s adopted hometown of Los Angeles. People were divided about his guilt or innocence, but it seemed that everyone had an opinion. Gavel-to-gavel coverage on TV and radio transfixed millions and introduced many to the then-nascent concept of DNA evidence. The jury of 10 women and two men, who had been sequestered for the entire trial, took less than three hours to return its not-guilty verdict in both killings — leading to outpourings of anger, joy, relief and disbelief.

During the trial, prosecutors played two 911 calls that Brown Simpson made three years before her killing. In the longer second one, she said with exasperation, “He’s back.” When the dispatcher asked for a description, she replied: “He’s O.J. Simpson. I think you know his record. Could you just send somebody over here?” A male voice was yelling in the background, and later she told the dispatcher, “He broke the back door down to get in.”

Earlier, in 1989, Simpson had pleaded “no contest” to spousal battery charges. Photos of her bruised faced, purportedly from that incident, were made public during the murder trial.

Later in 1996, the families of victims Brown Simpson and Goldman filed a wrongful-death civil suit again Simpson. After a seven-week trial, the jury found Simpson liable and awarded the plaintiffs $33.5 million in damages. The families would fail to recover most of that judgment.

All the time, Simpson proclaimed that he was searching for and would hunt down the “real” killer or killers.

Another 30 for 30 project was 2016’s O.J.: Made in America, the longest in the series. Originally a five-part miniseries, its first episode aired on ABC before finishing its run on sibling network ESPN. It also was released as a movie. Debuting at the Sundance Film Festival, Ezra Edelman’s pic went on to win the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature .

More than a decade after the trial, the 10-episode FX miniseries The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story became a ratings and critical sensation, depicting the aftermath of the crimes through the trial, verdict and its repercussions. The 2016 show won eight Emmys on 22 nominations , including acting nods for Courtney B. Vance as Cochran and Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Clark. Cuba Gooding Jr. scored an Emmy nom for playing Simpson, as did John Travolta as defense lawyer Shapiro and David Schwimmer as Simpson confidant and reality-juggernaut scion Kardashian.

In 2006, HarperCollins imprint ReganBooks announced that it would publish If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer , credited to Simpson and ghostwriter with Pablo Fenjves, who had testified during the double-murder trial and was a friend of publisher Judith Regan. In it, Simpson detailed his relationship with his ex-wife and laid out a hypothetical scenario involving him finding his ex-wife’s body and confronting Goldman, a waiter at a nearby restaurant where Brown Simpson had dined that night. The book says Simpson then lost consciousness and had no recollection of the crimes.

The book’s original release was canceled after a public outcry, but not before nearly a half-million copies were printed. It later was published by Beaufort Books, in 2007, and a court awarded all of its rights to the Goldman family to help satisfy the civil judgment.

Then in September 2007, Simpson led a group of armed men into a Las Vegas hotel-casino in an attempt to recover was he later said was stolen sports memorabilia. After his arrest two days later, Simpson admitted to taking the items but denied the break-in and said none of his accomplices was armed. He was charged with multiple felonies including kidnapping, robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, leading to another high-profile trial that began a year later.

He and the co-defendants were found guilty on all counts after a three-week trial, and Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in state prison. He was paroled in October 2017, after serving nearly nine years.

Born Orenthal James Simpson on July 9, 1947, in San Francisco, Simpson would become one the greatest football players ever, winning a Heisman Trophy and national championship at USC and leading the nation in rushing during his two seasons in 1967 and ’68. He also was an All-American both years and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983.

In January 1969, he was taken No. 1 overall by the AFL’s Buffalo Bills in the pre-merger AFL-NFL common draft. The team would join the NFL officially the following year, and in 1973, Simpson became the first player to rush for more than 2,000 yards — when the league played only 14 regular-season games — winning the MVP Award that year. He led the NFL in rushing four times, made five Pro Bowls and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985 after playing 11 seasons from 1969-79, the last two with the San Francisco 49ers.

Simpson continued to guest on popular TV shows into the 1970s before co-starring in the 1974 disaster epic The Towering Inferno opposite such huge screen icons as Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden and Faye Dunaway. He went on to appear in an episode of Roots and several films through the ’70s, culminating in a star turn in the 1979 pic Capricorn One, which depicted a faked mission to Mars. He played an astronaut along with James Brolin and Sam Waterston. Elliott Gould and Hal Holbrook also starred.

But Simpson’s most famous screen role would come nearly a decade later, when he was cast opposite Leslie Nielsen in David Zucker’s 1988 comedy gem The Naked Gun. Based on the short-lived 1982 CBS series Police Squad!, the pic featured Simpson as the accident-prone Detective Norberg, and he would reprise the role in two sequels: The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) and The Naked Gun 33 ⅓: The Final Insult (1994).

Between those sequels, Simpson co-starred in the last five seasons of HBO’s pro football comedy 1st & Ten, playing an aging running back for the fictional California Bulls who is forced to transition to coaching. Delta Burke, Shannon Tweed and ex-NFLer John Matuszak also starred.
