Review of The Monuments Men (2014) by Lilianetty L — 27 May 2014
*SOME SPOILERS INCLUDED*.
How did this not get a better rating?! It isn't in my top movies of all time, but it is IMO, one of Clooney's better directorial efforts. Plus, it was an interesting , true story about which I am happy I "learned". Were all the details spot-on? I highly doubt it, but what "based on a true story" movie every gets every (or even any!) detail right - or even included? I don't know whether James Granger accidentally stepped on a land mine or not, or whether they left an American flag behind at a collapsed mine entrance to irk the Russians but I do know that if there had been zero action or humor, no one would have bothered to see it. It seems better, to me anyway, to get the Monuments Men's story out there. If people want to know precisely what happened, I'm sure they're more than welcome to look up plenty of info about these brave art historians, sculptors, etc. themselves.
