In addition to the values conveyed by the film, in addition to how countries that have experienced the Nazis, including Austria, should face up to history, there is also an aspect that "the laws of the United States protect personal property." The sanctity of private property is the most important value advertised in the contemporary West. Nowadays, China’s constitution stipulates that “citizens’ legal private property shall not be infringed”, and the detailed rules are that “the state protects citizens’ private property rights and inheritance rights in
accordance with the law . The state can expropriate citizens’ private property in accordance with the law for public interests. Or expropriation and compensation.”
I don’t know if Austria has similar laws on private property and public interest. Looking at the verdict in the film, I guess there is no such thing.
Because of the change in the nationality of the female protagonist’s wife, a cultural heritage that should have belonged to Austria was changed. For the Austrians who have lost their culture, it is probably a loss of treasure. For the modern economic center of the United States, the arrival of a famous painting has not only brought about the prosperity of tourism, the reshaping of the status of the art center, but also the victory of diplomatic dignity and the shaping of the national image. The auction price of 135 million US dollars is an afterthought. I can imagine the inability of the Austrian government to fight against the national treasure commercial auction. This reminded me of the cultural heritage that also flowed from my country and was supposed to belong to the cultural heritage of the China Land. The American emperor, I wonder if it can win. Fortunately, the current economic rise has allowed many national treasures to be ranked by Chinese collectors or institutions, allowing them to return to the motherland, and many institutions are also using international arbitration to find cultural relics left behind. At about the same time as this film was released, there was also a transnational prosecution of Fujian's flesh Buddha. Our country requires Dutch collectors to return this national treasure. It seems to have formed a tacit understanding with this film.
Austria, like "The World of Yesterday," has declined in its former cultural glory, and similarly, it has also been punished for abandoning its former citizens. As the instigator, the American emperor embraced outstanding people from all over the world and from all ethnic groups with a tolerant attitude, and also received gifts from "refugees."
It is said that the Second World War brought Europe back 100 years, but the United States was the biggest beneficiary. It now appears that almost 80 years have passed since World War II, and the United States is still benefiting.
