Over the weekend, my husband and I went to the movies to see The Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd is about the start of the CIA. Matt Damon played the character Edward Wilson and his wife, Clover, is played by Angelina Jolie.
I thought the movie was OK. It started out as with Damon at Yale, then working for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II, marrying Clover, having a son, then back to the present time of the 1960s. Throughout the movie, Damon doesn't age. He glasses switch to different frames a couple of times. But he had no graying hair or wrinkles. During the movie, at one point his son is young at a Christmas party. Next time you see the son, he looks about as old as Damon. I'm glad they addressed each other as father and son, because they could have been brothers.
While Damon is married to Jolie, Damon had an affair with a woman he dated in college. Jolie was sent an envelope of photos of Damon and this woman kissing in a cab and her apartment. Jolie gets mad, yells and throws the photos at Damon. I thought it was funny that she of all people got mad about the affair. I know she was playing a character in a movie, but didn't she break up a marriage?
Some people didn't enjoy the movie. Halfway through the movie, a couple sitting in the row ahead of us got up and walked out of the movie. About ten minutes later, a couple in the row behind us did the same. If they would have waited, they would have found out what the photos, video and recording that Damon's character was trying to figure out throughout the whole movie were. I guess some people aren't that patient.
