The Monument Men Movie Review
Characters (matt Damon) James Granger (george clooney) Frank Stokes (Cate blanchett) Claire Simone (Justus Von Dohnanyi) General Stahl
Personal notes Frank Stalks wants to halt all bombing of places that have art in them until they can rescue it to save the art.. He convinces the U.S president to send a group of studied artist to Paris and Germany on a Mission to protect and rescue stolen art that contains the historic past of a group of people that are almost as lost as the art. Stahl continues hiding the artwork and has discovered that his secretary's brother works for the resistance and is killed and she is threatened with jail or being turned into the SS if she is not. Claire is her name. She returns to the hall and realizes that the art is gone. It becomes an intense hide and seek between the two. The race to get ahead of Germany.. Is on Damon and Claire seem to have something going on. Please don't have an affair in the middle of the war.!!!
Plot As World War Two comes to a close Frank Stokes persuades the American president to let a group of trained artist become soldiers and go into the heart of Italy,Paris and Germany in search of Art that will potentially be destroyed forever if Hitler falls into the fate of anyone's hands, or if Germany is defeated. Many of the pieces of art have already been lost but a German coordinator gives away the key to the art away to the allies and they begin a hunt to track down the lost art in particular a few certain pieces that are close to each man's heart. As the movie continues lessons of triumph and sacrifice prevail over the despair of war and love and hope take home the prize.
Acting The humor makes it enjoyable to watch Emotions are obvious Tons of music to add tension Good realistic costuming and makeup The actors dumped in realistic feeling to make the movie tense and fun to watch.
Message; This movie is full of hope and leaves you feeling triumphant, prideful and courageous. It proves how people have to hold on to whatever you have left and treasure your history because when that is taken from you, you have no identity left and can be lost and left behind, forgotten in history.
Critic; In the beginning of the movie, it was unclear who was who and what was going on, but this ended up being of benefit to the plot because it added suspense and tension.
