"Monuments Men" was about the mission to retrieve the "lost" art taken by Hitler's men in the 1940's, they succeeded in bringing everything together for the art world in the end. Because America is awesome and we kicked some Nazi tail in WWII, but as Frank Stokes (Clooney) so eloquently put it, they were fighting for a way of life a culture that could not save itself. So he got a band of artists, and art critics together to go and find the Lost art and this team included Bill Murray, Matt Damon, John Goodman, and Cate Blanchett to name a few, The movie showed a lot of humanity as well, that you don't just have to be soldiers to fight in a war, some wars are waged on a culture and preserving it as a whole. I think "Monuments Men" was a beautiful contribution to all the "Inspired by a true story" films ever.
So I just went and saw Monuments Men, and that movie was really well done and kept my attention with all the fast paced action within it, I loved the story, and could follow everything which is normally very hard to do when it's based on something as historically significant as The Holocaust, I thought the actors in it were perfect for the job they were asked to do, and completed their mission of keeping the audience enthralled. Monuments Men is one that will be on my shelf when it comes out to own, for it is truly monumentally beautiful.
