What if the very foundation of modern society is destroyed?

Published by bernie4444 , 9 days ago

This movie, directed by and starring George Clooney, is about protecting art objects from being pilfered or destroyed by the NSDAP towards the end of WWII. The presentation has a good selection of actors to play the various characters needed to tell the story. The pacing is a bit strange; I would not call it slow, as much detail was needed to keep the story from looking like a cardboard documentary. Speaking of the selection of actors, Cate Blanchett was great as Claire Simone, the spitting French art protector. Shades of Ayn Rand, George Clooney makes one or two of those nice long rallying speeches about the virtues of protecting art at any cost. Then he vacillates about the cost after a participant or two has been dispatched. This is one of those movies that has lots of clues and inferences mixed into the story, so you will need to watch the film a second time to notice the nuances that you missed while you were thinking about the ones that you saw. Overall, this movie is everything that you would expect. It is not exceptional, but I doubt it could have ever been any better, and I cannot think of a better director for this presentation than George Clooney.
