Short description
World War I has left golfer Rannulph Junuh a poker-playing alcoholic, his perfect swing gone. Now, however, he needs to get it back to play in a tournament to save the financially ravaged golf course of a long-ago sweetheart. Help arrives in the form of mysterious caddy Bagger Vance.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Steven Pressfield's novel «The Legend of Bagger Vance» (1995).
- Since Matt Damon had no experience playing golf, he trained for a month to prepare for the role.
- Brad Pitt also auditioned for the role of Rannulph Junnah.
- The film draws clear parallels with the "Bhagavad Gita". Like the ancient Indian treatise, it features a similar plot: after the protagonist falls into depression, a philosophical dialogue begins about duty, the meaning of life, and self-realization. In the "Bhagavad Gita", this is a conversation between the main character Arjuna and Krishna, the Supreme Lord (Bhagavan). In the film, the hero's interlocutor is the mysterious Bagger Vance. Similarities can also be traced at the level of names: Junuh – Arjuna, Bagger Vance – Bhagavan (from Sanskrit – "Lord"). In the film, Bagger Vance is a black man. Krishna, as is well known, is often depicted in art with dark or black skin.
