Matt Damon, who successfully made it to the front line, played the role of an art identification expert at the Metropolitan Museum of New York (the prototype character later became the curator of the Metropolis), and the screen queen Cate Blanchett played the French museum staff (the prototype character recorded more than 20,000 The flow of art records), and comedy legend Bill Murray, Lord Downton-Uncle Hugh Hugh, Oscar actor Jean Dujardin joined, plus director, screenwriter, starring George Clooney, such a fantastic army! Plus the greatest art protection in the history of mankind! These excursions have aroused the expectations of movie fans. It seems that all the elements of success are present, and a good movie will come naturally, including the trailer stage. It is still very encouraging. It can be said that the production under the standard has become a waste of a lot of the best actors and the themes preserved by the seal, which is extremely regrettable. . . The filmmakers were sorry because they missed the release of the year-end Chong Oji. I think they will have no regrets after the release in February. . .
The narrative of the movie itself is really loose and lengthy, the characters are far-fetched, and there is a feeling of being put together. It should be a story full of suspense at all times. It can never create a sense of tension and climax. It only seems abrupt and sensational, and it feels more sudden and relaxed. (The laughter itself is not a problem. It's just that the scenes in the play make it seem very abrupt. If they are the Raiders of the Treasures to get rich, it will be much more appropriate. I wonder if some of the remaining inspiration from the filming of Ocean's Eleven will continue to be used in this film. ...) I think Director George (and screenwriter, lead actor) always wanders and hesitates on the edge of epic lament art and Hollywood commercial film is the biggest reason why the film is hopeful, and in the end it is difficult to cater to the two. Many production teams overlap with last year's best film Argo, and I knew it was a mistake to give Argo the best film award last year. . .
It’s not that the film is useless. Appreciate the hard-working performances of several actors, the excellent costume design, and the fun of discovering famous paintings, just don’t expect to watch it. It’s just a "just okay to watch without any understanding" movie. . .
There are several tidbits of the film if you are interested to know:
1) MONUMENTS MEN, this is the abbreviation of MFAA (Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Program) that exists in history. It is actually composed of more than 300 people. The characters in the film are based on the prototype characters to a certain extent.
2 ) Leonardo’s representative painting after the Mona Lisa, "The Woman Holding a Mink" will appear in the final real record photo, now in a museum in Poland.
3) Michelangelo’s statue of the Virgin and Child is like a movie The description is now hidden in Belgium, where the old George character visited this place 30 years later, and the character was played by George's father.
4) The character George used a Raphael's work when explaining the action plan with President Roosevelt. It is considered to be a very rare self-portrait of Raphael. After being looted by the Nazis, his whereabouts have been unknown. The description in the film is burned.
5) The "Ghent Church Altarpiece", which became the opening and closing, was created by Van Eyck and his brother, the founder of the oil painting, and is one of the most stolen paintings
6) In addition, I have the opportunity to watch the BBC Graham Norton Show where Mad Damon, Bill Murray, and Hugh Bonneville were guests in the recent film. They rushed to the show recording site just after the premiere. After the opening, the champagne in front of the seats was wiped out. The out-of-control funny interview, as Mat Damon said, is the most fun talk show I have ever participated in.
