I'm hearing they purposely chose mattt just so it can do well! What a sell out move. The film might have done well without Matt Damon they could have picked an Unknown Asian actor !

Yes. The director must send to gulag now, his family slaughtered and fed to pigs.
You're adopted!
It is posts like this that makes me happy that IMDb is shutting these boards down.
sharespoken by a social justice warrior from the west who's prb not even asian. From the directors own words....
Director Zhang Yimou clarified that Matt Damon is not playing a role that was originally conceived for a Chinese actor, he further criticized detractors for not being "armed with the facts" and stated that:
In many ways ‘The Great Wall’ is the opposite of what is being suggested. For the first time, a film deeply rooted in Chinese culture, with one of the largest Chinese casts ever assembled, is being made at tentpole scale for a world audience. I believe that is a trend that should be embraced by our industry.
The premise of the movie sounds ridiculous. I wouldn't want to watch the movie even if Matt is in it.
