- TriviaMatt Damon struggled to grow facial hair, so the makeup department had to try out 20 different beards to apply to his face. He reportedly got a skin rash underneath the stuck-on beard, which was so irritating that he had to be treated with ice packs after every scene while shooting the movie.
- GoofsDuring the trial, the judge tells Marguerite that her body could burn for 20 to 30 minutes until she is dead. It was not common in the 14th century to divide the hour in minutes. This started by the end of the 16th century, when watches displayed minutes. By the end of the 14th century, it was more common to divide the hour in halves or quarters. So the judge should have said that death would occur after a quarter to a half-hour of burning.

Ridley Scott is the Master of this Genre for a reason
After Good Will Hunting I was shocked why Ben Affleck and Matt Damon didn't write any screenplay together. Well, our wait is over because they have done a brave move, but this time it doesn't have that Hollywood storytelling vibe on it. This time, it is more experimental and different, they went for a new storytelling wave. (with help of Nicole Holofcener)
Best director you can find for this kind of visual storytelling is Ridley Scott, and believe me, he's still top of his game. To be honest I don't think that Gladiator was a best picture because of Ridley's effort, I think it was Russel's incredible performance. But this movie shines because of Ridley's awesome visual style.
To talk about performances in this movie, Jodie has the lead, she can get awards buzz after this film. She plays her character from different perspectives, it is not an easy thing to do but Jodie does it beautifuly. Matt Damon makes his mark, after Ben Affleck's drop from the other lead role Adam Diver tooks it and I got to say it is an impressive casting, because, as a antagonist Adam has that villain look real good. Ben Affleck steals the show everytime he is on the screen, just like in Good Will Hunting his side character is real fun to watch.
Overall it is really a brave movie, Hollywood doesn't make these kinds of movies, but they should make these kinds of auteur movies more...
