Lord Moran's Diary

Rating: 4/10 (17 January 2007)

When Matt Damon pulls the book off the Russian's shelf (towards the end of the move), a few books to the right is a book entitled "Winston Churchill from the Diaries of Lord Moran". This book was published after the death of WSC. The copyright was 1966. Obviously the movie was based 4-5 years earlier. It wouldn't have been such a big deal but they specifically mentioned WSC- "Churchill was right~ we shouldn't have stopped until we got to Moscow." I thought that was a rather sloppy goof on the part of the props department. How difficult is it to pop open a book to see if it was made prior to the era you are depicting? The jumps back and forth between the two eras weren't done very well~ rather confusing at times. Overall, I thought the movie was rather boring.
