Matt Damon shared an amusing and candid story about his daughter\u2019s critique of one of his movies during an appearance on the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron. Damon revealed that his daughter is one of his harshest critics, and her humorous negative reviews of his films provide some levity in the family.<\/p>\n
The movie in question is \u201cThe Great Wall,\u201d a 2016 action film in which Damon plays an imprisoned European mercenary in China who teams up with the country\u2019s army to combat an extraterrestrial threat. Damon was drawn to the film by director Zhang Yimou, whom he greatly admired.<\/p>\n
Damon recounted an exchange with the director on set through their translator, Frank, where he expressed concerns about a scene feeling off. However, he soon realized that the director was consciously making what he perceived to be a Hollywood movie influenced by Hollywood partners.<\/p>\n
Realizing the challenges, Damon humorously recalled, \u201cThis is exactly how disasters happen. I\u2019m like: \u2018Please tell him I came here to be in one of his movies.'\u201d Despite Damon\u2019s efforts, he admitted that it was too late to save \u201cThe Great Wall,\u201d acknowledging that the movie \u201cdoesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n
The amusing twist comes when Damon\u2019s daughter, with a sharp wit, refers to the film simply as \u201cThe Wall\u201d and dismissively states, \u201cDad, there\u2019s nothing great about that movie.\u201d Damon shared this humorous anecdote, highlighting the candid and critical perspective his daughter brings to his filmography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
