This is a film based on a true story written, directed and acted by George Clooney. The story takes place at the end of World War II, when the Allied forces have landed on the Western Front from France and Italy respectively. On the east front, the Soviet Union moved westward along the mainland, and the fall of Nazi Germany was a matter of time. Facing such a situation, the vicious Hitler decided to transfer all the artworks he had scavenged from all over Europe. At the same time as he was defeated, he was destroyed together. Once such a thing happens, it will mean that human civilization will encounter an unprecedented disaster. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, a special team, starting from the United States, came to the front line of the war. Their task is to save from the clutches of the Nazis. Countless art collections representing the essence of human civilization.
The film uses a unique perspective to describe the catastrophe brought about by the Second World War, the largest war in human history, for the entire human civilization and for the inheritance and development of art. There is almost no gunpowder in the picture, but it appears again and again in cities that were razed to the ground in the war, and the birthplace of the Renaissance - Florence and other famous cities have not been spared. Not a few shots were fired in total, but two members of the 7-member team lost their souls to a foreign land for these artistic treasures. While thinking about whether human life is more important or whether these works of art are important, George Clooney led the team to continue the task for which the two team members sacrificed their lives, when Michelangelo's "Virgin and Child" "When they were finally found, their mission was finally successfully completed.
After watching this film, I have to say that the film itself is not exciting, without any gorgeous special effects, without any exciting and exciting storyline, George Clooney just restored a story that really happened in history, a story long enough to contain Entering into the annals of history and affecting the entire history of human civilization, the world can understand that when you stand in a certain church or museum in Europe while admiring and marveling at the superb skills and techniques of the great masters, someone once tried to protect these works. , paid sweat, blood and even life. In addition, Americans are really quite open and bright, so many works of art, they just returned all of them, and they did not enrich their own pockets. In Hollywood movies, they have always been the Soviets who appeared on the opposite side. Naturally, it is the incarnation of the bandits. When you see it, you can take it home. It is a must, and a high-sounding reason-war compensation.
In addition to this little-known history, the biggest highlight of the film is to count several big-name stars, not to mention George Clooney, who is also the director, screenwriter, and starring, and Matt, who has worked with him many times. • Damon also has a lot of scenes. Cate Blanchett, who is full of fairy spirit, plus a lot of old movie stars to help out, the cast is strong enough, which is really the attraction of this film.
