The movie has been accused of using a “white saviour narrative” to boost its profile, as Matt Damon plays a dominant role in the entire story. The fact that we’re currently living in a non Tao Tei world means – duh! – that she was stopped. The mutants make their way to the capital city, and threaten to take over the world unless their queen is killed. They’re then attacked by a seething horde of CGI mutants called Tao Tei, who’ve been sent by the gods as punishment (long story). What were they trying to keep out?” Set in AD 1010 or thereabouts, the story goes that two Western dudes are taken prisoner by a secret Chinese military sect called the Nameless Order, who guard a section of the Great Wall of China. You gotta love The Great Wall tagline: “1700 years to build. Directed by Zhang Yimou with Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal and Andy Lau. She’s smart, she looks good, and her shapeshift into Miss Sloane is so effortless it’s super-scary. As her filmography grows she’s bringing a potent presence to virtually every role, and once again she doesn’t disappoint. She’s worthy of all the attention in this political thriller about a principled lobbyist who heads straight to the opposition when she’s strong-armed in a gun law battle.Ĭhastain plays it all just right – slightly enigmatic, terrifyingly competent, utterly driven – a schemer of note. Directed by John Madden, with Jessica Chastain, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mark Strong.Ĭhastain maximizes her alluring synthesis of soft vulnerability and ballsy attitude as a hard-nosed lobbyist playing her A-game on Capitol Hill. Overall, he is task-oriented, and seeking a deeper connection to the woman he thinks harbors a torch for him.MISS SLOANE. His 4 wing can be withdrawn and elitist, but also a bit moody and defensive. He is ambitious and has major dreams and goals for the future, is hard-working and determined to succeed, but his inflated ego allows him to assume Antonia feels more for him than she does. Later, despite loving animals, he shoots some of them in the zoo, apparently to go along with and impress his companions. Lutz likes to be the center of attention and earn praise, is quite proud of all of his accomplishments, and boastful of his exploits in front of a group-he talks about how it was painful to shoot an animal that charged him (he had no choice) but that her cubs are doing well in his zoo. He mentions that being in dangerous situations is exhilarating. Though he torments her with the idea that he might shoot her son, he cannot do it-it’s against his conscience. He is both offended by her offer to sleep with him in exchange for information about her husband’s arrest, and aroused by it – in his anger that she has been lying to him, he almost rapes her, but then stops when he finds out how much she despises him (he asserts, rightfully, that she “gave him another impression” by tolerating his attention). He harbors deep feelings for Antonia, and they come to light in how he tenderly he touches her and talks to her.
He agrees to let them raise pigs to feed the soldiers with, and uses that as an excuse to bring in his bison for breeding and development.
A rational man, he makes decisions based on facts-he convinces Antonia to give him all their best animals, because the zoo will be “broken up” and used for resources (meat, for example) rather than kept open during the war. He also has good instincts, in that he suspects Jan’s son is not telling him the truth about his parents. As Hitler’s zoologist, he has a vision for developing “perfect” animals and takes the best of the breeding stock away from the zoo after the invasion. Lutz is something of an intentional dreamer, in that he intends to breed bison and come up with a “pure” race of them, resurrecting an extinct species that has been dead 300 years in the process (he is not happy about it when Jan points out that’s “absurd”).
