Anyone with PTSD/Panic Disorder knows what this feels like.

The look on Junuh's face after Bagger says "I've been with you all along" gives me chills. Even young Hardy realizes at that point that Bagger is so much more than a caddy; he is a watchful guardian angel to help Junuh overcome his personal demons. Powerful scene.

They aren't his demons. What veterans deal with is usually bringing home a suitcase full of shit from war that was never theirs to begin with, getting them to put that suitcase down and leave it behind once in for all is the tough part. Getting them to understand that it was never their suitcase to begin with is the hard part. You don't have to keep carrying all that extra weight around.

This was such a beautiful movie. Will Smith played the best guardian angel ever.

Aint a soul on this entire Earth aint got a burden to carry he dont understand. You aint alone in that. But you been carrying this one long enough. Time to go on, lay it down.

if you can truly understand this scene, it's utterly profound. Bagger ain't a gaurdian angel........ He's God Himself....that's the secret......He's been with us our whole lives........hoping, helping, through heartache and blessing to bring us closer to Himself.

When he says ,”I’ve been here all along”, is the moment we realize he is god (in terms of the symbolism). It’s a remarkable moment in a beautiful film.

What really sent shivers down my spine was when Bagger Vance said "You ain't alone. I'm right here with you. I've been here all along." That part pretty well sums up who Bagger Vance represents. Very spiritual and very powerful.

" Golf is a game that can't be won, only played!" Kinda like life, huh?

I think what I view this is as, sometimes we get in the way of ourselves. When the things in life we think are so far away, so hard to achieve. Yet if you just believe in yourself and do what you know how to do, things will work out and the target is actually much easier to hit than you first believed.

Life. This movie parallels the journey of life as told by playing golf. Your swing is what YOU were meant to do, a game that can't be won only played is LIFE. We've all experienced life at its hardest, we all have the choice to keep pushing and come out the other side. This movie is my favorite interpretation of LIFE through a different telling. Kind of like how different religions can tell the same story with different words and characters. Love this story.

You need to see this movie. I truly believe almost all of life's mysteries and keys can be exemplified by the game of golf and football. Two extremely different sports that both create perfect analogies to the varying aspects of life from very different angles, that are both equally true. This is one of those movies that you won't truly be able to appreciate and comprehend unless you've lived through tragedy, which most everyone does, eventually.

Great movie as it had everything. How one can lose believe in one's self but also you can find yourself again even through the roughed of circumstances also it felt like baggar was a guardian angel 😇 which made the movie so good that even in our darkest moments someone is looking out for us.

This scene reflects my life so much but I only wish I could remember this when I need it the most...

Everything about this movie was so good.

I could feel this scene in my soul

Will should of won an Oscar for this role

Probaly the best movie which had ever been made... When I watched this before I golfed... I played the best round I ever played in my whole life just 270 Yards drivers and I were just 13 years old.

Somehow people don't realize that this is a modern interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita. Even the names of the characters are similar. Bagger Vance is not a 'magic negro' as I've heard some describe him. He is God (or an angel) who has come to help Junuh rid himself of his demons so he can move forward with his life doing what he was born to do. This is the central theme of the original Bhagavad Gita.

The best scene in this entire movie. And this movie was full of them.

It's about a whole lot more than golf. One if the greatest movies ever made.

This movie gave me back my life.

There's something in the "why don't you just loosen up your grip" that hits differently in the context. All about how Junuh is holding on too tightly to the past

I grew up with this movie, and am just rediscovering it as an adult, like an old sweet memory... and I can't _believe_ that, come to find out, it was super overlooked and almost no one knows this movie!! The soundtrack is even out of print! What the heck! It's one of the most beautiful, touching, funny, and inspiring films I can ever remember seeing! And a GREAT performance from Damon especially, in the middle of the rise of his career, just after Good Will Hunting and Saving Private Ryan, and just before Finding Forrester and Oceans Eleven! How did all THOSE great movies become classics, and this one didn't??? I don't get it.

This movie was great! This scene and the scene with Bobby Jones where he gets his swings back are awesome. I love how in this movie, Will Smith is an guardian angel like figure. At the end where the kid *when he's a grandpa* gets the heart attack and he's walking towards Beggar almost like Beggar is bringing him into heaven

Love this film, God is with us always.

The key scene of the movie, in which all is revealed with words of great power and comfort. Whether Bagger is God or a divine emissary, he is there to help Junuh regain the life he is meant to lead. "You ain't alone. I'm right here with you. I've been here all along." Those words bring tears to my eyes every time I watch this scene. Don't we all want that reassurance?

This movie sparked my interest in golf and was one of the main influences that led me to start playing. I've been "finding my place in the field" ever since.

This one of the top 5 all-time clips of sports movie history. I've never played golf and hate it as a sport, but,,,,, it's about more than that!!!! Beautiful. Where you always been....

It me getting older and being out of the Army to truly understand these scene full force. The insinuation is that Bagger was in the Argonne forest during WWI, the battle Belleaux Wood. This was one of the most brutal battles US forces endured, the woods brings that back for Bagger, hence his mental state while looking for the ball.

Beautiful scene....LOVE IT! ♡♡♡

My favorite movie scene ever and so under-rated. Also, when Baggar (W. Smith) leaves toward the end and Junoh thinks he needs him still, but then realizes that there are others in his life..and also that Baggar never has or will really leave him. Didn't get the HIgher Power connection until the second time I saw the movie. Just thought Baggar was an inspirational caddy & Junoh a guy who just needed some quidance. We all do..and it's there!!

All-time favorite clips....the world needs to realize in life, that its not how hard you can get hit, but how much you can take...but to jus keep moving forward! Thats how WINNING IS DONE!!!

I agree. And what I love is that, pretty much at no point in the movie does bagger ever really tell junnuh what to do. he paints a picture of metaphors and pretty much allows junnuh to find his way. Great stuff.

This movie inspired me to open a golf driving range. It awakened something that was dead in me for a very long time. My real authentic self.

this movie is about far more than golf, its about life.. golf is the tool used to get the message over... the finding of inner peace and harmony in the most unlikely of places... at times when you need it most.. what a beautiful film, ive seen non better...

critics hated on this movie cause of the concept of the "magical african american", which confused me greatly. It was a beautifully crafted film.

0-0... I never even heard of this movie. I have to get it.

one of the best scenes from the movie

people dont change....they become more of what they are......he did just that

God, I love this movie.

I don't get to play much golf these days. Work and life events get in the way. But when i do, I think about these scenes and take inspiration from them to find the best swing I can muster

I’ve always wondered if Junuh played as well as he did that day out of fear of being slapped by Bagger Vance?

Christ. I've researched this place as I could and I had a meeting with himself. I was agnostic but man I always thought the . story of christ was just plain goodness out of all the other beliefs. I'm swear that christ yeshua of nazurit is God in the flesh. He is always with us ❤️ Love you Lord even though I'm a piece of shit and you still love me regardless. Legend.

I read that at first Redford and Morgan Freeman were going to star in this movie, but later Redford decided that young men would do better in the lead roles. He was so right. Matt did a fine job as Junuh and Will was perfect as the Godlike character. Such a magical movie.

The novel this movie is based on - is a loose adaptation of the Bhagavad Geeta. As an Indian - who has to suffer through nonsense Bollywood movies that ignore our rich ancient culture - I'm eternally thankful to Robert Redford for making this movie.
