Synopsis

Rannulph Junuh is the best golfer in Savannah. He's living well and has a girl, Adele Invergordon, who's the daughter of a wealthy landowner. The First World War starts, though, and Junuh goes to Europe to fight. The only survivor of a dangerous mission, Junuh doesn't return to Savannah for 15 years.

In 1930, he returns, and Adele's father has already committed suicide during the Depression. Pressured by tax collectors to sell the golf course her father built to pay off debts, Adele, now older, vows to bring to Savannah the greatest match ever played on the greatest golf course, her late father's. She's able to round up the 2 greatest golfers of their time, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen to play for $10,000.

The townspeople insist on having "one of their own" compete also, and Rannulph Junuh is rounded up. Junuh now hangs out with bums and is an alcoholic, as he has lost his authentic swing from 15 years ago. At first he turns down the offer. He gets his old clubs and balls and starts practicing. He has lost his ability. Suddenly, Bagger Vance shows up. He offers to be Junuh's caddie and help him regain his "authentic swing". He does, and Junuh agrees to play in the big match.

The use of traditional Southern musical influences in the score adds an authentic and evocative layer to the film's portrayal of the Deep South during the Great Depression.

Margaret Turner

3/10

The score of The Legend of Bagger Vance felt disjointed and disconnected from the setting and time period of the film. Instead of immersing me in the world of 1930s Savannah and the challenges faced by the characters, the music often felt out of place and jarring, taking away from the overall viewing experience.
