Truly inspirational.

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2015)

In this film Helen Mirren plays Maria Altmann, an Austrian-American refugee during the WWII. The film tries to capture how hard was for this people to live during the era. We know that there are things that money can't buy, things that are full with sentiments and memories that we find hard to be separate to them. It appears that in Maria's case her family paintings, were that thing. I've always loved Hans Zimmer soundtracks, his music makes you feel the films on a much deeper way, in this case he joins Martin Phipps to create a very good soundtrack for this film. Films based on true events makes films to remember, but in order to truly enjoy this film, you must turn on the empathy switch and let yourself feel the pain of being forced to leave the things you love the most behind.
