vendredi, octobre 07, 2005 This show was so forgettable that I really did forget that I watched it with Kris last week on Tuesday at Bishan, coldest movie theatre in the whole of Singapore.Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as these dry, academic German brothers? Rumour has it that Jacob and Wilheim were philogists, not fake witch-hunters, although they did go about collecting old wives' tales, much in the manner that Matt and Heath did in the movie. But that's where the similarity ends. It was awful to watch both of them stumble about with their fake English accents - which were out of place anyway - they were supposed to be German, not English. An American and an Australian, with English accents, pretending to be Germans, but with a French twist. It's enough to get you all tangled about in knots. I don't know why this movie was made. It served no real purpose - the story told was bland, it wasn't a "star-making" epic like Gladiator, neither did it showcase any act of proper, true history - so why make this movie? I have no answers. Let's just hope this never happens again. It wasn't overly painful to watch - the pain was tolerable - but just barely. Oh Matt Damon! Wither thy Jason Bourne? Thy Will Hunting?
