Watch The Legend of Bagger Vance Movie Online.
Movie Title: The Legend of Bagger Vance The Legend of Bagger Vance is available for streaming or downloading. |
I absolutely love this movie. I know it gets some mixed reviews but I think it is because the world is way too cynical. Redford does and excellent job with view of sport as Metaphor for life. Juna has lost his swing which in life terms is his soul and must get it back if he is going to get back in the game. Bagger is a spiritual sage (caddy) of some sort who is there to help him find his way.
The cinematography is just breathtaking. The golfcourse looks like the Garden of Eden. I love stories about larger than life characters on a great journey. This is certainly one of them. The movie just makes you feel good about life. I find the score enchanting as it especially enhances the golf scenes. A very pleasing movie indeed. Will Smith does a great job in his untradional dramatic role although he has a few rather humorous parts.
The best is Lemmon’s ending line as narrator. “Bagger always said it is a game that can’t be won only played. So I played. I play on. I play for the moments yet to come. Looking for my place in the field.”
One aspect of this film not brought up is the fact that it is loosly based on the Bhagavad-Gita (refered to my many as “the Hindu New Testiment”). Anyone who has read this great masterpiece of literature should see this movie, if they have not already!
Will Smith’s Character Bagger Vance reprsents Krishna, who is also called “Bhagavan”; Matt Damon plays Randall Juna (”R. Juna”) who represents Krishna’s friend Arjuna. Instead of Arjuna’s chariot driver, Bagger is Juna’s caddy. While this doesn’t follow the story of the BG exactly, for those who know the story and the philosophy, both shine through in a beautiful and endearing way. Juna has returned from WWI with a case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(called Shell Shock back then) and refuses to pick up his clubs and play golf in a tournement held in his hometown (like Arjuna’s refusal to fight at the opening of the Barata War). Bagger tells Juna that “Inside each one of us is our one true authentic swing” and once, when someone asks him what is wrong with Juna, Bagger answers “The problem is, he still thinks he’s Randall Juna!” Hindu philosophy is peeking out of ever dark corner in this film. It is truly a Gem, and I’m not usually a Will Smith or a Matt Damon fan…
If you’re a student of Indian religion or philosophy, you MUST see this film!
