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 filming was messy and frivolous, only Cate Blanchett performed very stable, and the other characters were especially floating.

The Monuments Men quotes

  • Walter Garfield: I've never killed anyone before.

    Jean Claude Clermont: It's easy.

    Walter Garfield: Have you?

    Jean Claude Clermont: I'm about to.

  • Frank Stokes: I was told that before you were sent here, you ran one of those camps.

    Colonel Wegner: Who told you that?

    Frank Stokes: A little bird.

    Colonel Wegner: You're not Jewish, lieutenant?

    Frank Stokes: No.

    Colonel Wegner: Then you should thank me.

    Frank Stokes: You know, I don't smoke either. My first cigarette.

    [lights cigarette]

    Frank Stokes: But I want to remember this moment. I'm gonna go home soon. Got a nice apartment in New York on the Upper West Side. There's a deli down the street called Sid's. Every morning, I walk there and I get a cup of coffee and a bagel, and I read the newspaper. I think about it every day here. It'll be the first place I go when I get stateside. I'm gonna be sitting there, eating one of Sid Meldman's toasted onion bagels and reading a tiny article in the New York Times, page... 18... that says you, Colonel Wegner, were hanged for your crimes you committed during the war and you were buried in an unmarked grave. And then I'll think about my cigarette... and I'll think about you sitting there with that stupid look on your face. Then I'll finish my coffee, leave the paper for Sid to wrap fish in. I'll never think of you again.
