It is a dumb movie, but it requires you to read. Yes, its made for both a Chinese and American audiences, but this film isn’t for a dumb audience. THE GOOD: The Great Wall is a Chinese production. As wave after wave of marauding beasts besiege the massive structure, his quest for fortune turns into a journey toward heroism as he joins a huge army of elite warriors to confront the unimaginable and seemingly unstoppable force. When a mercenary warrior (Matt Damon) is imprisoned within the Great Wall, he discovers the mystery behind one of the greatest wonders of the world. Let me tell you, this film could’ve gone better without Matt Damon. A film has to appeal to everyone right? Why is Matt Damon in The Great Wall? To put the American audience’s asses into seats. With some films where the entire cast is of a different ethnicity and the lead is Caucasian, I don’t have an issue with it. would say The Last Airbender would be my first example, but believe it or not, it was very diverse what it was worth. I was appalled with how much miscasting there was for that movie even while watching (and trying to keep my eyes. Ever since I saw Exodus: Gods and Kings in 2014, that was my first full exposure to noticing whitewashing. REVIEW: Don’t you love it when there’s a controversy for a movie? I can’t get excited for a lot of movies nowadays without hearing a controversy behind it. PG13: Sequences of Fantasy Action ViolenceĬast: Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe, Andy Lau
