"Woman in Gold", a film about art, is actually about the issue of heritage obtained through collusion. It is also a true story. It does not need to polish the facts too much, but many movies like to whitewash the facts. Curtis and screenwriter Alex Kaye Campbell abandoned the exaggerated and false plot out of respect for the audience. When the protagonist went to The Republic of Austria to appeal, the outline of the story gradually emerged in the bureaucratic details of their confrontation
.
The feature of this film is its flashback footage. The flashbacks extend to scenes where the Nazis invaded Maria's home, even though these scenes became their cruel daily behavior. Curtis made these memories more vivid and made people feel this illusory sense of fear. The moral lines of "Woman in Gold" are arranged in an orderly and neat manner, and the suspense about whether Maria can win is only part of the story. This film successfully expressed the theme that George Clooney 's " Guardians of Antiquities " wanted to express but failed to express, that is, the theft of art treasures by the Nazis actually far exceeded the terrible theft itself. Negative impact
.
The film lacks a kind of dramatic tension, sometimes it seems too sensational, and the ending is not very ideal. But generally speaking, it tells a good story, and the occasional humor will properly balance the boring legal drama. Regarding the mistakes made by the government of The Republic of Austria in the past, the director Simon Curtis and the screenwriter who filmed " My Week with Marilyn " obviously did not want to leave any room for discussion, so it would seem a bit boring
