Matt Damon’s main baggage is his anti-Americanism not his poor acting ability. Unless he has repudiated Howard Zinn, I won’t be paying money to boost Matt Damon’s movie career. I despise the little leftist cretin punk. If I see True Grit, I’ll purchase a ticket for some other movie showing at the same time at the multi-plex, but go see True Grit instead.
I actually was referring to all of his baggage. Somehow it works for his character here I think. I’m surprised how many people want to avoid a film that uses guns unapologetically (damon’s character is even celebrated for his marksmanship) and for valuing human life over animals, and justice over some liberal ideal of non-violence above all. Shouldn’t good filmmaking be encouraged?
