I've seen GD many times, and also think it's one of the greatest movies ever.

To me, the essential meaning is that until someone loves and cares about someone else, not in a narcissistical, way but in a deep and abiding manner, life is meaningless and every day is fundamentally empty and the same.

Well said.
Goldberg is looking for "philosophical" opinions on GD. He said so in a little blurb at NRO (i don't know if you've seen it. I tried to find it and came up empty). He's writing an article on GD and looking for input.

You should e-mail him.

isn't it interesting that films like GHD and Wonderful Life get poor marks at the obx office - but are classics years later. Bagger Vance could be such a film- too bad Dreamworks never let it get legs. (the book was better!!)

Rate the TOP FIVE MOVIES EVER. You have one minute. Ok, three days.
