I'm not a Brit or a Yank

With Gravity Falls, one could usually suggest that the nights were mostly calmingly quiet, but on this particular night it was quite different. Loud music filled the streets of the normally peaceful, suburban town coming from the party erupting in one household. There was no specific reasoning for the event, just simply a typical college party on a Saturday night and with this kind of party, you’d be lucky if someone were to come to the door when you knocked. In fact, you’d most likely have better luck just walking in, as most were doing.

And where was the Gleeful girl during all this? Of course right dead center in the middle of the madness; herself already consumed quite a bit of alcohol to be well past the point of tipsy. Despite being quite the celebrity in the small town, no one seemed to treat her like one. The brunette was just another drunk girl in the crowd. Perhaps that’s what she liked about house parties, no one seemed to notice you when she slipped into something more casual.

Mabel herself was currently sitting on a dingy couch that looked as if it should’ve been thrown out years ago, humming lightly to blasting music around her. Her head was beginning to pound and her stomach was beginning to turn. The teen just needed a break, but that didn’t seem to stop the boy who plopped down beside her, offering her more drinks which she refused several times tonight already. The boy was slightly older than her by a few years probably, but then again she was one of the youngest there tonight. Even from a distance you could tell the inebriated girl was obviously uncomfortable with the boy’s nonstop advances towards her.

“No, I don’t want another drink.” She managed to slur out without stuttering.

Messily pushing the liquor away from her, the brunette pushed herself further away from the boy, ultimately trapping herself in the corner of the couch. A mistake she wouldn’t have made if sober. All she wanted was to come out and have a good time and now this guy was bugging the hell outta her.

Azure hues stared at him with a puzzled expression. Who was this guy? He looked vaguely familiar, but she just couldn’t place her finger on it. The boy across from them didn’t move, watching them like a deer in headlights as the scene in front of him unfolded. Delicate hands reached for Ferb’s face, turning his face back and forth a few times to study his facial features, and that’s when it suddenly hit her. “Oh hey!” A smile littered her normally emotionless face and a manicured finger gently booped his nose. “I know you.~” The slur came out more as a song than it did a sentence.

Dropping his hand, she reached around him, grabbing for her drink on the end table behind him. The action causing their faces to get really close for a moment before she sat back down. No sooner did she grab her drink, another party goer made his way over to them, seemingly friends with the other boy from before.

Unlike The Last Airbender, Prince of Persia, Ghost in the Shell, Gods of Egypt, and Doctor Strange, The Great Wall is not inserting a white actor into a role meant for a non-white actor. This is an original story by Chinese director Zhang Yimou (famous for Hero and House of Flying Daggers), filmed in Qingdao, China, and featuring one of the largest Chinese casts ever.

Did you only see Matt Damon in advertising? That’s because the Chinese people involved with the film know that Americans will recognize an American actor. This is targeted marketing. If you actually look at the cast, Damon co-stars with Chinese actors Andy Lau, Jing Tian, Han Lu, and more.

The Chinese film industry is trying to break into the American market by featuring a prominent American actor. Don’t boycott The Great Wall for attempting to appeal to American audiences. Matt Damon’s entire purpose is to lure Americans into the theater for Jason Bourne and expose them to Chinese actors already well known in China.

A similar example to The Great Wall is the upcoming action-comedy film Skiptrace starring Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville. A Chinese actor and a white actor are co-starring and the film involves a road trip from Mongolia to Hong Kong. If you’re still displeased with Matt Damon, go see that.
