Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius



Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius

This movie should definately win the most inspirational film award of the century or something. Released in 2004, this movie is dedicated to the classic golfer Bobby Jones who overcame his childhood sickness and his worst nemesis (his temper) to do what no one till this date has been able to do - win the Grand Slam of golf.

With no formal lessons to learn from, he mimicked a professional he looked up to and soon developed a natural swing. The talented Bobby Jones soon rose to stardom overnight as the world began to take notice of his talents and as well as his weaknesses which was his volotile temper and his inability to handle stress. The movie showed how he overcame his weaknesses and turned his game around to start winning tournaments and championships.

This movie isn't just about turning attitudes around and winning championships, it's about the underlying meanings behind the storyline. A scene in the movie showed "Bobby" calling the official to make a penalty on himself because he admitted he caused the ball to move. Ok, maybe it was propaganda but what sportsmanship that is! "It's not how you've won or lost but how you've played the game."

HAHA, I'll never be able to reach that level by shoving people off boards. LOL! :p

The whole inspiration part was that he never first put himself first before his family's wishes. "Bobby" had to persue studies in the university, participate in golf championships and tournaments and also be home in time for dinners just to fulfill his family's wishes and desires. Because of his desires to please others in his family as well, he manages to repair the relationship between his father and his grandad and thus brings out the quote: "There's finer things than winning championships."

Probably the only person in the world to give up the chance to make huge bucks and play sport just for the love of the game. Especially in this generation, what are the odds of that happening again? They say he's the greatest sportsman there is. But sportsmanship rules them all.

I'm not saying that we should all display sportsmanship (In the interests of protecting myself), "Bobby" was himself and what I'm trying to say is that we should persue our dreams and push hard to achieve it. I WON'T say that we should all turn out temprement around and control it because I'll fail that on the spot. :p

Ok, so the bottom line is it is a MUST to catch this movie and don't give it a miss! Worth the watch!

Alright, crunch time to study 2 books of final theory for driving by 8 in the morning for the test and a report to write for project by noon tmr. God skip America for tonight and Bless Me!
