I understand not everybody can like this movie. But to me, it's a little jewel.

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2001)

This movie was way ahead of my expectations! It was so good that I'm going to try writing a comment in english!! I think Robert Redford made a really good job : a nice, moving, simple and straightforward story, intelligent and very well written dialogues ; and all his scenes were so beautiful and so neatly worked on that it seemed to me he got the best out of each : all seemed to flow for my greatest delight. I felt Redford knows how to show the extraordinary in ordinary lives and that touches your very soul leaving you optimistic and happy for the rest of the day! I was also delighted by the actors' performance. Matt Damon confirms once again his - oh how much promising- talent. I really loved the way Will Wmith played his character : he avoided the clichÃ©s and gave his character a humoristic touch which, in my opinion, added in the mystery of Bagger Vance. As for Charlize Theron, her character was so lively and stubborn! She made me think of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the wind. And, last but no least, the kid, Hardy, was so talented! I hope to see him on the screens again soon! Also, maybe because I'm european girl- I don't know exactly why-, I like movies about the South of United States. I feel it's just such an intriguing place. And, in my opinion, Redford's camera just catched all the southern charm, touch and contradictions. I was really carried away by Bagger Vance's Legend.
