If it wasn't for them, maybe we wouldn't see each other again, Reivew on The Monuments Men

The movie poster of The Monuments Men features a group of the most manly men, and it is exciting because they have saved so many precious works of art in World War II and have to love them more. This army personnel, including scholars, museum staff, architects, librarians, archivists, etc., was responsible for finding and protecting European art and cultural relics looted by the Nazis in castles and salt mines in Germany and Austria. Without them, maybe we would never see each other again:
