Every viewing of the movie brings a new facet of phenomenon to it. As if studying the skies and discovering a new star. Just as Thom de Plume had noted that "authentic swing" scene had 63 shots, it is only natural that the mind now begins to adapt to it's initial phenomenological experience and discover the formal syntax of the film. Such as all the filming cues, directorial decisions and actors active participation in performance. Yet, the remarkable synthesis of phenomenology and firmer grasp of the formal analysis is what has given me a more profound phenomenological experience. I believe this happens cyclically with more understanding of the film. Rather, it may be more due to the mind forgetting itself and just living at the moment.

Regarding the second viewing of Bagger Vance (authentic swing scene), it is also one of the things I have experieced that has changed my life. The beauty I feel from this scene is the visual. In truth, the visual would not work without the audio component of the "go ahead, swing" scene. The visual part, such as Bagger's hands in front f the lantern was allegorical. This was represented again in the mesmerizing part of the scene when the shots are takens over and over. The sky was moving in front of the moon/sun. Rather, the clouds were. This was the part that very significant to me. Hit me like a ton of bricks. It was my whole flashing before my eyes!!!
