Strikingly photographed!

"spoiler" in the first paragraph!
I recently saw this movie and thought it was fairly good, since it showed the way a golfer could change his frustrated life because of another person's wise advice. I just couldn't believe that a person like Bagger Vance (amazingly played by Will Smith) was the one who made Junuh (Matt Damon) win and get ahead in life. Junuh thought he lost his swing, but he really found it after talking to Bagger Vance.
Will Smith was outstanding in this movie, he really envelops himself into the role. I never thought he could act like this. I don't understand why he didn't get an academy award nomination for best actor in a supporting role. Anyway I think he was great in portraying this strange character.
As for Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, they give a nice performance, they really carry out their roles as director Robert Redford wanted them to be. Have a look at the cinematography; it's thoroughly gorgeous. Just look at the beautiful landscapes. That's why I liked it! Perhaps I also liked it because I used to play golf when I was younger, so this movie reminds me of this entertaining game.
Overall, Robert Redford has made an interesting, but simple movie with splendid green fields. You'll probably like it if you are a fan of golf. 7/10
