The Legend of Bagger Vance, Directed by Robert Redford,is a great movie with awesome actors portraying a realistic, powerful story.

Some of the actors were: Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlise Theron

This whole story, played through the eyes of a dying old man reminiscing on his childhood, is about a a young boy named Hardy Greaves. The story takes place during the late 1920's, during the beginning of the Great Depression. Hardy Greaves is a devout fan of the game of golf, and especially looks up to Ranolph Junah (Damon), a hometown hero who is devestated during World War 1, and goes into hiding. When Ms. Adele Invergordon(Theron) decides to hold an exhibition match with the greatest golfers of all time: Bobby Jones, and Walter Hagen. With the city of Savannah urging, Junah is also included in the match.

With some persuasion by a travelling caddy, Bagger Vance, Junah finally agrees to play in the tourney, with Hardy Greaves as his other caddy. So the match is a 72-hole exhibition match on Invergordon'sstruggling country club, Crewe Island. Junah sarts off 12 strokes down, but with special advice and help from brilliant Mr. BaggerVance (Smith), Junah ends up tying Hagen and Jones.

THis is one of my favorite movie for severalreasons:

1. The setting was awesome and believable.

2. The story was compelling and inspiring.

3. The actors did a terrific job.

If anyone else has seen this movie made in 2000, I encourage you to post on this thread. If you haven't I highly recommend you see it. This movie is not well-known, but is it brilliant. :D
