The legend of Bagger Vance

Topic started by rahul_capri on Jun 25, 2005 10:31:23 pm

This is the second Robert Redford movie I saw in about a week.
The amazing thing was, this movie was made on BhagwadGita. My suspicion was confirmed by a little bit of googling . I had missed the most obvious reference of all, a play on the names.

Pressfield introduces us to the mysterious caddie known as Bagger Vance, a variation on Bhagavan, a name for Lord Krishna, who knows the parallels between the secrets of golf and the secrets of life, and the famed but troubled war hero, Rannulph Junuh, that is ’’R. Junuh.’’ Get it? Arjuna.

I need to see the movie again. Sure it was ’’R. Junuh’’ and not ’’Jinnah’’? flag objectionable content

One would normally dismiss such news but it seems to be factual. As far as BhagwadGita is concerned, Pressfield’s remark is so true {In that forward, Pressfield candidly revealed that whenever he explained his book was based on the Bhagavad Gita, ’’You have never seen eyes glaze over so fast. A guaranteed conversation stopper.’’ Should he offer additional explanation, Pressfield said, ’’whoever I’m talking to enters a state of advanced stupefaction.’’} flag objectionable content
