et me tell you about the biggest movie ever made in China, directed by China’s greatest living auteur, about one of China’s most famous historical achievements. The Great Wall is set over a millennium ago in China, where several dynasties’ worth of soldiers and slaves spent their lives constructing 5,500 miles of stone and brick to keep invaders and enemies out. It took 1700 years to build, the trailer and poster for Universal’s 2017 blockbuster declare, and a few hundred more for Hollywood to teach us who really saved one of the oldest civilizations in human history: Matt Damon.

LOL! She’s worried about the historical inaccuracy of Damon’s “white savior” character in a movie with dragons! Should we tell her?

The author of this article is a full blown racist with a hatred of whites.

Hell, Damon screwed the pooch on “Jason Bourne”!

Because now I won’t go to another Bourne movie again!

Lefties hyping diversity, spewing at white actors, falling to see that the film is a fiction: wall built to save China from dragons. True story is found in the movie with some real Chinese actors building the wall for the “Mummy - Tomb of the Dragon Emporer.”

I think Matt Damon would make a great Charlie Chan.

This movie sounds like total - and obvious - bunkum.

An utter Fairy Tale and a real embarrassment.

The Great Wall? Which one?

the Han wall, which killed so many that the emperor's son was overthrown?

or the one we see now, built by the Ming's, that not only resulted in a lot of deaths but didn't work... the bad guys bribed a general to open a gate for them
