It's a shame that you have to put in the statement not to use 'Expletives.' People just need to speak with respect to each other. Anyway, I personally disagree with you on the way the movie was directed. I thougbht it was a fantastic way to present the film. I had no problem folowing the line of the story. While it's true that Bill Paxton did not specify who these people were, as long as it is possible to understand who they are, it's fine with me. I'm sorry that you were not able to do so. I thought that the scenes were some of the best I've ever seen. I feel that it truly captured the feelings and the emotions that were being played out. The movie turned my 9 year old son into a golfer.
It is one of those situatuations where I feel that we didn't see the same movie, and I'm sure that you are thinking the same about me. One of the most interesting scenes to me, was the upstairs, in the middle of the night, practicing his putting. While it's true that you can't learn the game of golf that way, you have to realize what the scene is saying. To me it said, here is a boy devoted to this game and every moment possible, is working and practicing on his game. How isn't really important. It is a fact that he was a fantastic golfer and what the movie said to me was, he got that way in the rest of his game, with the same effort that he showed with his putting.
Anyway, I just wanted to give you a different view of what you saw. Even though I can't see how you saw the movie the way you did (are you a golfer?) I hope that I was able to show you how I saw it.
