I have a different picture of Bagger. This book was deffinatley written by a secular Author with his own versions of heaven and hell. Good book, and good movie. Thank you for contribution. And that is the power of story.
Story intersects each listener at different points.
I know I am way behind, but just saw Bagger Vance on video. Thought the movie could have done a lot more with either golf or romance didn't do enough with either. However there were many preachable moments. Your review left out one of the most powerful. When Junuh hits a shot into the woods and goes into a flash back and Bagger tells him to lay his burden down, in my opinion, is the most powerful scene in the movie.
