2021 | Drama, History
With Jodie Comer, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Adam Driver in a movie directed by Ridley Scott I just had to see it.


And I have to say I wasn't disappointed, loved the idea if the story being told by the three viewpoints which works very well.

The Last Duel is a well crafted movie that although runs at 2h 32mins it really didn't seem that long.

My favorite Robin Williams Film, and that is saying something...
This is another Modern Classic about potential and brains, but also about where you come from and how you adapt. Here's an anecdote about finding the right studio: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck found a clever way to choose the right studio for their script: the story goes that on page sixty of the script, they wrote a completely out-of-nowhere sex scene between Will and Chuckie. They took it to every major studio, and nobody even mentioned the scene. When they met with Harvey Weinstein at Miramax, he said, "I only have one really big note on the script. About page sixty, the two leads, both straight men, have a sex scene. What the hell is that?" Damon and Affleck explained that they put that scene specifically in there, to show them who actually read the script, and who didn't. As Weinstein was the only person who brought it up, Miramax was the studio chosen to produce the film.

Also for those of you out there who think just because something is done in school it's not good: When Matt Damon was in his fifth year at Harvard, he was in a playwriting class. The culmination of it was to write a one-act play, and he just started writing a movie, which, with the help of Ben Affleck, became this movie.


"But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other." were they talking about Ben and Matt?



I guess Ben liked Them Apples, LOL, just kidding.... and here's another Alternate Movie Poster.
