After watching "Allied Treasure Team"

The film "Allied Treasure Team" is not small. It is adapted from the historical book "The Monuments Men" written by Robert M. Edsey. The treasure hunt and treasure protection team, including James (played by Matt Damon), Richard (played by Bill Murray) and other 6 architects and collectors, went to the European continent occupied by Nazi Germany, and looted countries frantically. The German Nazis with exquisite works of art competed against each other. Every second counted, and they regarded death as home. In the end, at the cost of their lives, they protected a large number of works of art, including the Ghent altarpiece, Rembrandt's self-portrait, and Michelangelo's sculpture "The Virgin". and return to the original collection.

The film has a profound connotation. Director George Clooney controls the rhythm very well. With simple and simple brushstrokes, he narrates this thrilling journey of treasure hunting and protecting treasures, and preserves precious history for the world.

Compared with the bluffing, fancy, and superficial Jackie Chan movie "Zodiac", "The Allied Treasure Team" is more restrained and explores human nature: which is more important than the value of human life and the top artworks handed down? It is worth thinking about.

    Hitler's plan was to build the largest museum in Germany through these plunders, but due to Hitler's personal classicism art preference, only ancient Greek, ancient Roman, Renaissance art was preserved, and cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism, etc. Modern art is designated as "degenerate art", and works from Manet to Picasso are facing unprecedented planned destruction.

    Back then, "Battle Train" used a single line to play tricks and lead the audience to think. Clooney's narration, the comparison of paintings and gold, are constantly emphasizing the value of art, life and money. However, Clooney's nostalgic style is still commendable, and the soundtrack and ending cast are also typical of the old World War II style.

    James Granger: Well, if it weren't for us, you'd... you'd be speaking German.

    Claire Simone: No. If it was not for you, I might be dead. But I would still be speaking French.

    James Granger: [Glances away] OK.

  • Walter Garfield: The army may not care about art, but they sure as shit care about gold.
