Probably, The Great Wall of China is one of the amazing historical infrastructures today. The history of this infrastructure is very interesting, so no wonder why many film makers want to create a film about its history.

Talking about films, Matt Damon's new movie "The Great Wall" trailer has been released this week. It has called the attention of many online users, particularly some Asians-they decried the film "whitewashed."

After Damon's finished the production of "Jason Bourne," which is still open in theaters, he will star in "The Great Wall," under the direction of Chinese megastar Zhang Yimou. This movie is set 1,000 years ago, and it follows the story of " "an elite force making a valiant stand for humanity on the world's most iconic structure, The Great Wall." Other cast members of this upcoming movie are Chinse supers stars, Andy Lau, Jing Tian, Wang Junkai, and the "Spider-Man" villain actor, Willem Dafoe. The movie seems set to be big-budget, for English-Chinese movie, according to BBC. 

As the trailer has been released this week, online users shared their opinions regarding this flick. Apparently, many of them decried "whitewashed."

The popular blog site, Angry Man said that Hollywood will somehow find a way to cast a white guy regardless of what era of the history. The star of comedy show "Fresh off the Boat" took Twitter to lambast the film. She described the racist myth as a white man can save the world. In her post, she added that their heroes don't look like Damon.

This is not the only movie accused of being whitewashed. The remake of Japanese classic "Ghost In The Shell" was accused of "whitewashing" as the production casts "Avengers" star Scarlett Johansson for the role of lead character Motoko Kusanagi.  

Meanwhile, the iconic structure "The Great Wall of China" was reported in a threat because about 30% of the Ming Dynasty section of the wall has already disappeared, and only or less than 10% is considered well preserved, according to the recent reports of UNESCO.

The reason why some walls disappeared is because many bricks from the 13,000-mile fortification were stolen by some thieves as they sold these bricks for the used of building houses or for agriculture purposes, according to CN Traveler.
