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.

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.
