Unexpectedly good

In the evening, I took two movie tickets to the cinema alone, and watched the film without a purpose, planning to watch the late-night show after watching it. Before watching, I thought it was a Hollywood blockbuster with an old-fashioned plot and a fierce battlefield. At the beginning of the film, it was also written based on a real story. I was a bit disapproved. Until the end of the film, I felt good, not very good, but just right. And a rare and precious movie, I was touched gently, in order to keep thinking about the movie, I gave up watching the late night scene, walked home alone, thinking all the way.
The most interesting thing about Hollywood is that he has all kinds of movies, just like there are all kinds of people. The World War II movies include Quentin’s fierce and shameless bastard, and Clooney’s gentle description of this allied army. The Raiders, I think they have their own advantages.
The scenes of World War II in the film can be seen that it took a lot of manpower and material resources. Usually this kind of vision has long been in the smoke, and it’s a life-and-death, but no, Klunik system, because he knows what to say and who .
It raises a very important question: how do we treat our cultural traditions? I don’t remember the lines very much, but the effect is: Why do we protect culture? If human life is more important than art, why should these people give their lives to protect it? Clooney replied that human beings have grown and multiplied for generations, but as long as their culture is not eliminated, they can continue to pass on. As an ordinary example, if there are no Western techniques such as drawing, perspective, oil painting and color, can we still see 3D cartoons? The drawing techniques of these cartoons are derived from the technical and artistic heights created by the Western Renaissance masters. We modern people can use technology to make a difference on this basis. Is the color tone of the film we see borrowed from oil painting, so that it can be so beautiful, ordinary people just take a mobile phone to shoot? We don't even want to look at the real picture without processing it. Western history and culture have no faults and have always been in this tradition, so this film is knowledge and reflection for themselves.
Finally, borrow a passage from John Berg's "The Way of Watching" to end this film review:
A nation or class that has been cut off from history has a far less right to choose and act freely than a nation or class that has always been able to place itself in history. This is why—and this is the only reason—all ancient art has become a political issue.

The Monuments Men quotes

  • Frank Stokes: You can wipe out an entire generation, you can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they'll still find their way back. But if you destroy their history, you destroy their achievements and it's as if they never existed. That's what Hitler wants and that's exactly what we are fighting for.

  • James Granger: Stop, stop. Stop. I seem to have stepped on a land mine... of some sort.

    Frank Stokes: Why d'you do something like that?

    James Granger: It was a slow day.

    Frank Stokes: Well, I wouldn't move.

    James Granger: I'd like to at some point.
